How to avoid your dog getting constipated

Diet

Diet plays a huge role in keeping your dog’s digestion healthy. Vegetables are a great source of additional fibre which can help keep your pet’s bowel movements regular. This is why all our complete and superfood diets contain veg and seasonal greens for optimal gut and overall health. Your pet’s diet should also be easily digestible; raw diets have been shown to be more digestible than extruded diets (a lot of dry kibble diets are extruded).

It is also important to prevent your canine friend from scavenging indigestible materials that could cause impaction such as cooked bones stones or soil.

Improve hydration

Ensuring your dog is hydrated is one way to help prevent constipation. Make sure there are multiple clean bowls of fresh water in the home. You can also try adding additional water or one of our broths to their food.

Exercise

Encouraging your furry friend to live an active lifestyle through regular walks and active playtime
can help to keep their guts moving as they should.

If your dog suffers from constipation or you are at all worried about their toilet habits then we always recommend that you speak to your vet for advice.
