Puppy stomach problems: what to know and how to help!
Digestive upset is quite common in puppies. Their gastrointestinal system is still developing and adapting to new foods, surroundings, and routines, which can sometimes lead to temporary stomach discomfort.
Typical signs include:
– Loose stool or mild diarrhea
– Occasional vomiting
– Reduced appetite
– Gurgling sounds or visible discomfort
How to support recovery at home:
1. Make sure your puppy always has access to fresh, clean water.
2. In some mild cases, your veterinarian may suggest a very brief pause in feeding to let the stomach settle, but fasting is not generally recommended for young puppies.
3. When reintroducing food, offer small, frequent meals of a bland, easily digestible diet such as boiled chicken and rice.
4. Keep the puppy warm, calm, and well-rested.
Keep in mind!
🦠 Probiotics and prebiotics help maintain a healthy gut microbiome and support digestion after stomach upset or antibiotic treatments.
If symptoms persist for more than 24 hours or include repeated vomiting, dehydration, or lethargy, consult your veterinarian promptly.
A healthy gut means better nutrient absorption, stronger immunity, and overall well-being, starting from puppyhood.
