Sensitive Stomach Puppy Food FAQs
Does my puppy have delicate digestion?
It’s quite common for very young dogs to have an unsettled stomach, especially within the first few days after bringing them home. But your puppy might be suffering from a sensitive tummy if the following symptoms persist:
- Diarrhoea or loose poo
- Vomiting
- Weight loss
- Being a picky eater
It’s important to remember that there can be a range of causes for these symptoms, including anxiety, changing their food and eating something they shouldn’t (especially common in puppies!). Remember to seek professional vet advice if you’re worried your young dog has swallowed something harmful or poisonous.
If these causes have been ruled out, then gradually changing your dog’s diet to a sensitive stomach puppy food might help.
