Home Remedies For Dog Constipation

diet is often a common cause. Your dog may just simply need a little extra fiber. As a home remedy you can try to add one to two teaspoons of regular pumpkin (not pie filling) to its food. This helps keep things moving. Pun intended!

Some people have had success adding some bran to dog food. Others have been adding a sprinkle of Metamucil, however this should be added to canned food only and with plenty of water.

Dogs that are lactose intolerant have benefited from drinking milk or eating dairy products. However, care must be provided in not giving too much or the opposite problem will shortly arise! Adding some moisture to dry dog food may help. A few teaspoons of water added to kibble should suffice.

Mineral oil ( 1 tbsp per 10 lbs.) will sometimes relieve the most severe cases of constipation, however administer it only mixed in with food. Do not administer it orally directly such as through a syringe or by placing it on the tongue! Keep in mind as well to use mineral oil sparingly since if used too often it will interfere with proper absorption of vitamins.

Lack of exercise just as in humans is known to slow things down. Provide a good exercise regimen and plenty of water.
