Tummy troubles and food sensitivity in dogs are fairly common problems no matter what their breed, age or size. Some dogs are naturally prone to upset stomachs<\/a>, while others seem to be able to eat anything \u2014 and literally everything \u2014 without an issue. Read on to learn what factors could be responsible for your dog\u2019s upset stomach and how nutrition can play a role in resolving tummy problems.<\/p>\n

What causes tummy troubles?<\/h2>\n

Any number of culprits could be responsible for your dog\u2019s upset stomach. However, the most common triggers tend to have something to do with your canine companion\u2019s diet. It could be that he or she is eating too much or too fast, is having a negative reaction to their food or something in it, is eating the wrong food (like the cat\u2019s food or high-fat people food), is stressed, or is chowing down stuff that they shouldn\u2019t be (like stones, food wrappers, parts of toys or garbage). Stress, motion sickness and injury also may upset your pooch\u2019s stomach. Still other possible causes include internal parasites, bacterial or viral infections, and toxic plants. Even a change in dog treats can spark tummy troubles.<\/p>\n

Because numerous factors can affect the digestive system, it\u2019s important to figure out the cause for your dog\u2019s signs and symptoms. For an accurate diagnosis and treatment options, have your four-legged friend examined by your veterinarian. Your veterinarian will also be able to recommend the best food for your dog\u2019s stomach and intestinal health.<\/p>\n

A special food formula may help<\/h3>\n

Most simple stomach upsets clear up within a couple of days. Small changes like a gradual switch to a sensitive stomach dog food or more regularity in your daily routine may resolve these forms of stomach upset. And there\u2019s most likely a commercial, non-prescription diet that you can feed, such as Diamond CARE Sensitive Stomach Formula for Adult Dogs<\/a>. Typically, sensitive stomach dog foods are designed to be easily digestible, contain a limited number of ingredients to reduce the chance of negative food reactions, and include probiotics to help restore the balance of beneficial bacteria in the digestive tract.<\/p>\n

Be aware that some dogs may need long-term treatment because they have regular or permanent digestive problems. Since different stomach problems may require different dietary strategies \u2014 that\u2019s why there\u2019s no single best food for managing dogs with tummy troubles \u2014 ask your veterinarian to help you determine what type of food would be best for your dog.<\/p>\n

Your dog\u2019s food can have a significant impact on its digestive system health. A specially formulated diet provides the nutrition your dog needs to help manage their condition and supports their overall health while being easy on their sensitive stomach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
