If your dog is experiencing an upset stomach and vomiting, there are several remedies that you can try at home. However, if your dogs symptoms persist or worsen, its important to consult with a veterinarian. Here are some remedies that you can try:
-
Canned pumpkin: 100% canned pumpkin is a favorite of many holistic veterinarians when fighting indigestion and upset stomach in dogs. It has a low glycemic index and is high in soluble fiber, which can help regulate digestion.
-
Chicken and rice: Chicken and rice are prime ingredients in many dog foods, and these mild foods sit well on upset canine stomachs. Plus, this bland meal is easy to prepare. All you need are boneless, skinless chicken breasts, along with some rice. Cooked white rice is lower in nutritional value than brown rice, but its blandness makes it more suitable for upset stomachs.
-
Oatmeal: Bland and easily digestible, oatmeal can work wonders at soothing an upset stomach.
-
Ice cubes/crushed ice: If your dog has an upset stomach and is throwing up or having diarrhea, theyre losing a lot of fluids. Preventing dehydration is important, and offering ice cubes or crushed ice can help keep your dog hydrated.
-
Ginger: Ginger could be a simple solution for a dog’s upset stomach, and it typically helps treat motion sickness in dogs. If your dog will drink, you can also try peeling fresh ginger root, and boiling it in water. When it has cooled, let them lap it up. If you can get your dog to eat treats, sugar-free ginger snap cookies can be an option.
Its important to note that these remedies should only be used for mild cases of upset stomach in dogs. If your dogs symptoms persist or worsen, or if they have other symptoms such as fever or lethargy, its important to consult with a veterinarian. Additionally, if your dog has ingested something toxic, do not attempt to treat them at home and seek veterinary care immediately.
