Digestion issues are hard to diagnose, especially when it comes to finding the underlying cause. One way to quickly determine the best course of treatment for digestion is to try multiple types and sources of food. If your dog struggles to digest traditional proteins like chicken or beef, then trying fish could be a good idea.

Fish itself is an easy to digest protein, with omega 3 helping to reduce inflammation in the digestive tract.

If your furry friend has digestive problems, you should stick to foods that are easy to digest and cause fewer issues to the gut. This includes vegetables like peas and potatoes, as well as proteins like fish.

If your dog has poor gut health, there are a few things you can try to remedy it. Please consult your dog’s vet before attempting these, as other factors can be at play.

Pro/prebiotics: gut supplements can be very helpful in alleviating stomach issues in your dog. Giving them probiotics and prebiotics as required can feed the microbiome with friendly bacteria to improve digestion and the immune system, like with our Support+ dog treats.

Fibre: feeding your dog a fibre-rich diet can be particularly helpful if they face stomach issues. Sometimes, issues can be explained away entirely by low fibre.

Food variation: feeding a range of different food types to your dog (provided your dog enjoys them and isn’t allergic) can help improve gut health. Doing so helps their stomach remains capable of breaking down and digesting multiple food groups.
