If your dog is suffering from diarrhea, it is important to quickly relieve their digestive tract and support it in a targeted way. With simple measures you can often already make a big difference and give your dog quick relief.
First measures for acute diarrhea:
Bland diet with moro soup: Moro soup is easy to digest, soothes the gastrointestinal tract, protects the intestinal wall and helps compensate for fluid loss.
Small, frequent portions: Several small meals spread throughout the day relieve the digestive system.
Supporting gut flora: Probiotics such as SivoMixx can help restore the balance of intestinal bacteria more quickly.
When should you see a vet?
If your dog seems lethargic, listless or generally noticeably affected
If the diarrhea does not clearly improve within 24 hours
A vet can rule out serious causes such as infections, parasite infestation or other illnesses and initiate targeted treatment.
Accompanying symptoms and food intolerances:
Sometimes diarrhea (from mucousy to watery) is accompanied by other symptoms that may point to a food intolerance or a digestive problem. These include:
Frequent grass eating
Increased licking of the paws
Skin problems
If you notice such signs in your dog, this may indicate a reaction to certain food components. It can be helpful to switch to a variety with a single, well-tolerated protein source (e.g. only beef, if this was well tolerated before).
Not sure how best to proceed? You are welcome to book a personal consultation with our vet to discuss your dog's individual situation. Book your consultation now!
