Diarrhea is a common problem in dogs, and it can be a sign of an underlying health issue. Fortunately, there are some home remedies that can help quickly soothe your dog’s diarrhea. Here are some tips to help you get started.
Feed Your Dog a Bland Diet
One of the most important steps in treating your dog’s diarrhea is to feed them a bland diet. This means avoiding foods that are high in fat and fiber, as these can make the diarrhea worse. Instead, opt for boiled white rice or boiled potatoes mixed with boiled lean meat such as chicken or turkey. This will help to settle your dog’s stomach and provide them with much-needed nutrients.
Give Your Dog Probiotics
Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that can help to restore balance in your dog’s digestive system. You can give your dog probiotics in the form of supplements or by adding probiotic-rich foods like yogurt or kefir to their diet. Probiotics can help to reduce inflammation and improve digestion, which can help to quickly soothe your dog’s diarrhea.
Try Natural Remedies
There are also some natural remedies that can help to soothe your dog’s diarrhea. For example, adding a teaspoon of canned pumpkin or pureed carrots to their food can help to firm up their stool and reduce inflammation. You can also try giving them a teaspoon of slippery elm bark powder mixed with water, which has been shown to reduce inflammation and improve digestion.
These home remedies can be used together or separately depending on the severity of your dog’s diarrhea. However, if the symptoms persist for more than 24 hours, it is important to take them to the vet for further evaluation as they may have an underlying health issue that needs treatment.
