If your dog has constipation, intervene immediately. Here are 5 practical tips:
1. Pour some lukewarm water with your dog’s kibble so he gets more fluids. In fact, dehydration is a major cause of constipation in dogs.
2. Get your dog moving. This sets the metabolism in motion and hence your dog’s digestion. After all, it has been proven that little exercise leads to laborious defecation.
3. Have your vet examine your dog for health problems such as osteoarthritis or an intestinal infection. As a result, your dog might have pain when defecating and not dare to push fully.
4. Feed your dog dog food tailored to his digestive system. That contains the right amount of fibre, protein and fats so that he can easily defecate. You can try it here.
