It can be challenging to know when your dog’s sensitivities become so severe that you need to see the vet. In order to help you better understand how to react, let’s discuss some serious symptoms that you should always stay on top of.
First, let’s mention that vomiting always warrants a trip to the vet. Vomiting in dogs can point to multiple different causes, and should always be checked out by a vet, especially if your dog is vomiting often after his meals. Next, you should be aware of any loose stool or diarrhea that persists for more than 24 hours. If your dog experiences recurrent diarrhea that does not seem to resolve, you should visit your local vet. Last, be sure to keep a close eye on any dog that experiences chronic itching. If your dog is constantly itchy or scratching themselves to the point of having sores, it’s best to visit your vet.
If your dog is simply gassy, a little itchy, or even just not as thrilled about his food, it’s safe to hold off on the vet and just search for a diet option that better suits your pup. Just be sure to keep a close eye out for any worsening of their symptoms.
