A healthy gut drives nutrient absorption, immunity, and mood regulation.
Watch for stool consistency, frequency, and signs of discomfort.
Nutrition Support:
- Include fiber (pumpkin, brown rice, oats) for stool regularity.
- Add probiotics (plain yogurt, kefir) to maintain good bacteria.
- Use prebiotics (sweet potato, bananas) to feed gut flora.
- Keep meals consistent to avoid GI upset.
Red Flags:

- Loose stool or constipation
- Gurgling stomach sounds
- Excessive gas or vomiting
- Scooting(dragging their butts on the grass) or straining during bowel movement
- Make sure you are observing what your dog is pooping out because you can flag something life threatening fast.

Feeding Routine Tip
Feed 2–3 consistent meals/day; sudden switches cause digestive shock.
