You’ve heard the saying: “Trust your gut.” Well, that goes for your dog, too! Gut health is a cornerstone of your dog’s overall well-being. From immunity to mood and energy levels, a healthy digestive system can mean the difference between a vibrant pup and one who just isn’t feeling their best.
Signs of Digestive Trouble in Dogs:
-
Loose stool or constipation
-
Excessive gas or bloating
-
Frequent grass eating
-
Bad breath (yes, it’s often a gut issue!)
-
Dull coat or itchy skin
-
Low energy or changes in behavior
Why Gut Health Matters:
Roughly 70% of your dog’s immune system resides in the gut. When digestion is off, it can lead to inflammation, nutrient loss, and chronic health issues. A strong gut supports:
-
Nutrient absorption
-
A healthy skin barrier
-
Immune defense
-
Balanced mood and behavior
Tips to Improve Digestion Naturally:
-
Switch to easily digestible foods. We carry brands like Small Batch, A Pup Above, and Fromm that offer whole-food nutrition with limited fillers.
-
Add digestive support. Try pumpkin, goat milk, or bone broth to soothe and regulate digestion.
-
Use probiotics and prebiotics. Supplements like Super Snouts GI Balance and Adored Beast support the gut microbiome.
-
Feed consistently. Avoid erratic feeding times and too many treats.
