If your dog suffers from heartburn and physical or organic causes for the reflux of stomach acid into the esophagus have been ruled out, minimizing stress and adjusting feeding can noticeably ease the symptoms.
Optimize feeding
Suitable meals: Varieties such as our HelloBello Rooster Stew and Ring Dance are particularly well suited. They feature a reduced fat content and easily digestible, high-quality proteins that gently support the gastrointestinal tract and the pancreas.
Small, frequent portions: Divide the daily food amount into several small meals spread across the day. This relieves the stomach and reduces the production of excess stomach acid.
Evening meal: A small portion, for example a soft-boiled potato, shortly before bedtime can help prevent the stomach from becoming overly acidic overnight.
Further measures
Stress reduction: A calm, relaxed environment can have a positive effect on your dog's digestion.
Grass & Stool Eater Drops: In addition, our Grass and Stool Eater Drops can support digestion and help prevent heartburn; they are based on elm bark.
Elm bark: In consultation with your veterinarian, elm bark can be helpful. It forms a protective mucus layer in the gastrointestinal tract and soothes irritated mucous membranes.
