Palatable recipe: with tender chunks of salmon in gravy, which is well accepted by cats with a reduced appetite due to illness Tempting as it is, adding human food to a nutritionally complete and balanced commercial dog food can cause digestive problems in dogs. PURINA® PRO PLAN® VETERINARY DIETS EN Gastrointestinal Cat Food is recommended for acute or chronic gastrointestinal diseases such as acute or chronic diarrhoea, gastroenteritis and colitis, malabsorption and maldigestion, food intolerances, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease (not associated with encephalopathy), pancreatitis and convalescence. EN food is not suitable for hepatic encephalopathy & chronic kidney disease.Libby Sheridan, Scientific Affairs Manager at Purina explains that research on the microbiome has expanded enormously in recent years, “From the gut-brain axis to the gut-lung axis, it’s clear that disruptions in the microbiome can have a significant impact on many aspects of animal health and behaviour. Dysbiosis can result in clinical signs ranging from mild to severe acute or chronic GI signs, including diarrhoea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and weight loss and in fact, some treatment protocols such as antibiotics can themselves contribute to a worsening of dysbiosis, adding to the burden for an already compromised pet. We’re looking forward to having the opportunity to talk to veterinary teams about how they help nutritionally support the gut through such challenges.” PURINA Gastrointestinal is a highly digestible dry food for dogs with gastrointestinal problems or pancreatic conditions.

It’s best to feed your dog at regular scheduled times. Use the correct amount of food to maintain your dog’s optimum body condition so they stay in tip-top shape. As far as you can, keep an eye on your dog and what they eat, and keep rubbish and other ingestible materials out of reach. Sometimes they’re a bit too adventurous in their tastes, no matter how bad something might be for them! Managing your dog’s colitis The recommended feeding duration is initially between 3 and 12 weeks for balancing digestive insufficiencies, chronic insufficiency or lifelong pancreatic issues, and for 1-2 weeks for acute gut absorption issues or during/after acute diarrhoea. It is recommended that you seek a veterinarian's opinion before using or extending the feeding period of this food. Treatment for dog constipation may be different depending on the cause. Possible treatments include medication, a stool softener, or a high fibre diet – whatever you need to keep your dog’s digestive system healthy so you can enjoy each other’s company without worry! Your dog loves the nutritious food and occasional treats you give them – a great meal time is all part of their fun and active lifestyle! When their food is such a source of excitement for them and a pleasure for you, it can be easy to forget about keeping an eye on their digestive health.

Laura Hughes, Veterinary Nurse Development Manager says the need for a ‘one team’ approach has never been stronger, “Working together positively is so crucial at the moment – we’re all more aware than ever that if we fully utilise the skills of everyone in the team, not only can we offer a better client experience, we can also help alleviate the pressure felt by our colleagues. We want to support the whole team with the resources they need to achieve this and have so many practical toolkits that can be easily used in a fast-moving practice environment.” Dogs can suffer from diarrhoea just like we do. Stress diarrhoea in pets is a common response to stress or anxiety – that is, your dog’s diarrhoea might happen because they’re worried about something. Examples of stressful situations that can trigger digestive problems in dogs are wide ranging – and it depends on what your dog finds particularly anxiety-inducing! What causes stress diarrhoea?
