In learning what to feed a dog with diarrhea, you may well be at the beginning of totally changing the health of your dog.

Why?

Because by finding out what the cause of the diarrhea is, and addressing that, everything is likely to improve.

Too often, treatment of ailments is by suppressing the symptoms, rather than in looking for the cause. It’s easier to suppress. You don’t have to think. And you do have to think and be open when looking for causes. It’s like being a detective. A good one has no preconceived ideas. They simply look at the facts and deal with them dispassionately, one at a time.

Diarrhea can come in two forms. The acute form is when the dog has ingested something harmful, such as with food poisoning, and the body reacts violently to expel it. It is of short duration and occurred the once.

The chronic form of diarrhea occurs frequently or may never completely go.

The most common cause of this is the food you are feeding your dog. Commercial pet food is highly toxic and nutrient poor. That is the quality is so poor that your dog is unhealthy. Your dog’s immune system just can’t deal with any offender, any pathogen in an aggressive way so it has taken a hold.

Commercial pet food is highly toxic with chemicals that would never be allowed in human food. The only way your dog can keep getting rid of this toxic load is to purge them out - constant vomiting and/or diarrhea.

The best food is the food you prepare. You know what goes into the food. You have control over the healthy ingredients. So by switching your dog’s diet from a commercial brand to a quality homemade one, you are probably getting to the cause of the diarrhea.

You can also assist your dog in the purging of the toxins, by giving the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum album. This may increase the purging for a short time, but your dog will feel much happier. Wouldn’t you after dumping a toxic load?

Learning what to feed a dog with diarrhea has the potential of curing the diarrhea, and improving your dog’s overall health.

Finding the Cause of Puppy Vomiting Makes Treatment Easy

Is your puppy vomiting? Acute vomiting, that is a one-off occurrence, that is quickly over, may not be much to worry about. But if your puppy vomits frequently, then you do have cause for concern.

Puppies and young dogs up til about two years of age, are into everything. They experience life to the full. They are learning fast and want to be stimulated.

This means they can also try to eat everything. As they are growing, they have a high nutrient need. They need quality food. Quality food that mimics their evolutionary history.

Let’s see what that means.

Dogs are pack animals. And they work within a strong hierarchy. This means that the alpha pair get the choicest parts of the kill, the lower ranking members come next and the puppies come last. Often wild puppies are only left with the bones of the carcass.

This may sound harsh, but stop and consider for a moment. Puppies are growing fast. This means they need a lot of bone food, amongst other things. What better bone food than bone itself?

If you feed your puppy lots of manageable sized, raw bones, at least one a day, then you will be reducing the need for him to try to eat everything. This may stop the main reason your puppy is vomiting.

Vomiting is a purging. The body is trying to get rid of something that can do harm. Such as food poisoning. So if your puppy is vomiting regularly, look at the most likely cause.

The food you are feeding him.

If this is a commercial brand, then you are not only starving him, as the quality is usually very poor, you are also poisoning him with a chemical cocktail. The chemicals put into pet food are highly toxic and would never be allowed in human food, regardless of any claim made on the packet.

By feeding your puppy a quality, homemade diet, ingredients that you have control over, you may well totally cure why your puppy vomits.

In the short term, you can assist your puppy vomiting, to quickly rid his toxic load, by giving him the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum album. This assists the body in purging anything unwanted. It’s a wonderful medicine to have in your first aid kit, with so many uses, not least of all for vomiting.

Diarrhea in Dogs - Looking for the Cause

Diarrhea in dogs is an indication that your dog is ingesting something that is doing a great deal of harm. Both diarrhea and vomiting is a purging of the body. It is a good sign. It means you need to look at the cause, not the effect.

Diarrhea in dogs can be acute or chronic. An acute bout means that it occurs just the once and is resolved quickly. It may have been caused by eating something that is harmful, such as food poisoning.

Dogs have what I call ‘cast iron stomachs’. That is they are omnivores and can eat anything. Anything natural, that is. They can east rotting and decaying meat with impunity. They can eat a purely vegetarian diet, no problem. They can survive on a diet of earthworms in times of scarcity.

Dogs are very adaptable. To natural fluctuations and food. But not to man made problems.

Chronic diarrhea is when the condition keeps recurring, or never goes away completely. It comes about because they are constantly ingesting something that is harming their health.

And the most likely offender to this is the food you are feeding them. Processed, commercial dog food is highly toxic and nutrient poor. It doesn’t matter what the claims are on the packet, most of them are simply legal through careful wording, rather than actually truthful.

There are two things you can do to resolve diarrhea in dogs.

1. the first thing is to switch the food you are feeding your dog from a commercial brand to a quality homemade one
2. and the second thing to do is to purchase the homeopathic medicine Arsenicum album

This medicine is absolutely fabulous at assisting the body in expelling any toxins from the body. It may increase the purging over a short period, but you will notice that your dog is happier. Who wouldn’t be after dumping a toxic load?

It’s important to keep an eye out for dehydration with any amount of purging. A healthy dog will keep up their liquid intake. An unhealthy dog may not be able to address this themselves.

To quickly resolve diarrhea in dogs, either in the acute or chronic form, will prevent any problems that may develop because of it. But you need to assist their body in doing this, rather than in suppressing the symptoms.
