Does your dog have occasional diarrhea? Pumpkin and fiber can help. Diarrhea is messy. It's stinky. And as a pet parent, it's worrisome. Dealing with your dog's diarrhea is never pleasant – for you or your pooch.
In any dog's life, there may come a time when pet parents will need to take care of their dog's loose stools. It's a rare dog that never gets the runs. Fortunately, there are natural solutions like fiber supplements with pumpkin and psyllium that offer digestive support for dogs.
What Does Pumpkin Do for Dogs?
Pumpkin for occasional diarrhea can help your dog get back to regular movements. Filled with micronutrients, digestive enzymes, and fiber, pumpkin can help soothe digestive upsets and settle your dog's stomach. The fiber in pumpkin can bulk up loose stools and absorb excess water in the intestines. In addition, pumpkin has prebiotics to support the healthy bacteria in your dog's gut.
Dog Digestive Supplements with Pumpkin
While pumpkin can help, how much is right for your dog? Eliminate the guesswork and give your dog a supplement with organic pumpkin and psyllium. EverRoot Dog Digestion Supplements, available in soft chews and chewable tablets, have been formulated to ensure your dog gets just what he or she needs to ease common issues with loose stools.
In addition to organic pumpkin, this supplement also contains organic psyllium. As humans, we recognize psyllium as a fiber we take for constipation. Can psyllium help dogs with diarrhea? Yes! Psyllium works in both the small intestine and the colon. In the small intestine, psyllium can add bulk and remove excess water, helping your dog's food move more slowly through the digestive tract so your dog can absorb more nutrients. In the colon, psyllium helps move waste more quickly to keep your dog regular.
The fiber in pumpkin and psyllium work to absorb excess water in the digestive tract and bulk up loose stools, while the prebiotics support digestion and immune health.
Because diarrhea can cause dehydration, be sure to give your dog access to plenty of fresh, clean water.
With EverRoot Digestive Dog Supplements, you can be assured you are giving your dog the right amount of organic pumpkin and psyllium according to his or her weight.
Organic pumpkin, the active ingredient in EverRoot's Dog Digestion Supplement, is naturally rich in the digestive enzyme alpha amylase, which helps break down carbohydrates, so your dog gets the proper nutrition for happy, healthy digestion.
When to Call the Vet
A single episode or a couple of bouts of diarrhea with no change in your dog's behavior is not a cause for concern. If your dog's diarrhea lasts for more than two days and is accompanied by lethargy, lack of appetite, or vomiting, don't wait to check with your vet. Likewise, if your dog's diarrhea shows signs of mucus, or blood (either black stools or red in the stools), consult your vet immediately as it could be a sign of a serious condition.
