Diarrhoea in dogs: causes and treatment options

Diarrhoea in dogs

It can happen again and again that a dog suffers from diarrhoea. If this happens only occasionally, it is normally not a major cause for concern. However, diarrhoea in dogs can also have serious causes. This is especially true if he appears regularly or if your dog has to vomit at the same time. 

Regardless of this, you should always take your dog's diarrhoea seriously and also do something about supposedly harmless symptoms. After all, digestive problems are not only unpleasant for your dog, but can also have serious consequences.

What causes diarrhoea in your dog, what risks are associated with it and what immediate measures make sense are explained below.

Dietary causes of diarrhoea in dogs

In many cases, diarrhoea in dogs is simply a sign that something is wrong with the diet of the four-legged friend. It is possible that the dog does not tolerate certain ingredients of his food or has even developed a food allergy

You may have changed your dog's diet too quickly so his digestion hasn't got used to it and is now having problems. In addition, feeding your dog with inferior or spoiled dog food can also cause diarrhoea. 

If your dog suffers from digestive problems, it is almost always worth taking a look at the dog's diet and making any necessary adjustments. After all, feeding your pet the right way not only helps to avoid diarrhoea, but also many other health problems.

Disease-related causes of diarrhoea in dogs

Apart from nutritional problems, diarrhoea in dogs can also be caused by a variety of diseases. If this is the case, there are usually other symptoms, which may allow initial conclusions to be drawn about the exact disease.

Among other things, the following dog diseases can lead to diarrhoea:

  • Chronic inflammations such as IBD
  • Leishmaniasis
  • Viral infections
  • Parasites such as worms and Giardia
  • Diseases of the liver or kidneys
  • Problems with the pancreas
  • Tumors

Which consequences the illness has for your dog and which symptoms still appear beside diarrhoea, depends naturally on the exact illness. While worms and giardias, for example, can be controlled quite well, a complete cure of leishmaniasis in dogs is usually not possible. 

A visit to the vet is therefore advisable in any case. He can examine your dog and find out which disease is responsible for the diarrhoea and other complaints. 

Depending on the diagnosis, the veterinarian will then determine the necessary treatment measures so that hopefully not only the diarrhoea but also the underlying disease can be alleviated soon. 

Poisoning as a trigger for diarrhoea in dogs

Unfortunately it happens again and again that dogs suffer a poisoning. In addition to poison baits, which dog-haters lay out along the wayside, this can also be caused by the consumption of poisonous plants and food unsuitable for dogs.

Poisoning in dogs can be caused by diarrhoea and vomiting. Depending on the type and amount of poison ingested, affected animals can die within a very short time. If your four-legged friend is suspected of poisoning, you must therefore immediately take him to the veterinarian.

Diarrhoea in dogs due to excessive stress

Many dog owners are not aware of the great strain that excessive stress can have on their four-legged friend. Stress in dogs can lead not only to changes in behaviour, but also to physical complaints such as diarrhoea. 

To avoid this, you should take care to avoid excessive stress in your dog's life and offer him as clearly as possible regulated everyday life. This promotes the well-being of the animal and counteracts digestive problems. 

Why diarrhoea can be dangerous for dogs

Just as in humans, the intestine is also responsible for the absorption of nutrients in dogs. If your dog suffers from diarrhoea, this process is disturbed. In the long run, this can lead to an undersupply of important nutrients, which in turn can lead to numerous other health problems.

But even if the diarrhoea in your dog is only of short duration, it is a risk not to be underestimated. Because the pulpier the excrement of the quadruped is, the more liquid it exudes with each toilet course. If the liquid loss is not sufficiently balanced, the body of the animal dries out, which in the worst case even life-threatening can become.

Of course, a visit to the vet with dogs suffering from diarrhoea is often unavoidable. At least if you suspect that the digestive problems of your four-legged friend are caused by an illness, you should not do without an examination by a specialist.

Nevertheless, you can easily do something about your dog's diarrhoea yourself. For this purpose we recommend a dietary supplement with Bellfor Gastro Relax. This is a purely natural preparation which we have developed especially for dogs with diarrhoea. 

The powder consists of carefully selected ingredients such as insect protein, pectin, beetroot, turmeric and whey powder, which can help to counteract diarrhoea in your dog and alleviate the discomfort of the four-legged friend.

Gastro Relax for non-specific diarrhoea
