Helpful Tips: Diarrhea Care Dog Kit
Keeping Your Pet Healthy Just Got Easier. Enjoy these vet approved tips below to accompany your Diarrhea Care Dog Kit.
HELPFUL TIPS
Rest - Give you pet a cool quiet place to recover. Ideally on an easy to clean floor close to a door.
Fasting- No food, treats or table food for the first 12 hours. Then begin a bland diet.
Vet Approved Bland Diet Recipe:
- Mix 1-part boiled starch (white rice, pasta, sweet potato) with 1 part boiled lean protein (ground beef, chicken, turkey, egg)
Day 1: Withhold treats and kibble. Feed 2 small meals of Bland Diet.
Day 2: Withhold treats and kibble. Feed 2 regular sized meals of Bland Diet.
Day 3: Feed 2 regular sized meals 1/2 kibble/ 1/2 Bland Diet.
Day 4: Seek veterinary care if stools are not formed.
Hold off on treats, chews, and table food until stool is firm enough to pick up.
Hydration- It is important for your dog to stay hydrated. Aim for 1/8 cup water per hour for small dogs or 1/4 cup per hour for larger dogs. Add ice cubes to encourage drinking.
TIP: Worms are often the reason for diarrhea. Use a MySimplePetLab Routine Stool Dog Test from home to determine if harmful parasites are the cause; then AutoShare test results with your vet.
Consult your vet if:
- Stool is black or tarry
- Your dog is not eating, drinking, active, and alert
- Stool consistency is not improving daily while using Care Kit
