Treatment for Constipation in Puppies

Due to the weaker resistance of puppies, constipation and diarrhea are easy to occur. So how should new dog owners deal with constipation in puppies? Let's find out.

  1. Probiotics: If your puppy is constipated, you can give it probiotics to regulate the intestine and help it with peristalsis.

  2. Bananas: Another option is bananas, which are edible for dogs. However, be cautious when feeding bananas to your dog, especially for puppies under six months old. Eating bananas can easily cause diarrhea in dogs.

  3. Yogurt: You can also give your dog some yogurt, which is generally loved by dogs. Yogurt contains probiotics and lactic acid bacteria that can help with your dog's digestion.

What are the benefits of probiotics?

  1. For tiny puppies with fragile intestines, feeding probiotics can help regulate their intestinal function.

  2. If your dog is sick, probiotics can act as a supportive treatment.

  3. For older dogs with significantly reduced physical activity, probiotics can help improve gut motility and prevent constipation.

How to administer probiotics:

  1. For dogs that refuse to eat probiotics, you can dissolve them in water and feed them with a syringe.

  2. Mix them into your dog's food and feed directly (half a bag for a small dog's meal).
