How to Improve Your Dog’s Digestion Naturally
Good digestion is the foundation of your dog’s overall health.
It impacts their energy, mood, skin, coat, immune system — even their behaviour!
Yet, many dogs today struggle with tummy troubles, including:
- Frequent diarrhea or soft stools
- Excessive gas and bloating
- Poor appetite
- Bad breath
Luckily, you don't always need medications to solve digestive problems.
There are simple, natural ways to support your dog’s digestion daily—and keep them feeling their best!
Here’s how you can naturally boost your dog’s gut health, starting today. 🌿
1. Add Probiotics to Their Diet
Probiotics are friendly bacteria that help balance your dog's gut microbiome.
A healthy gut = smooth digestion, better nutrient absorption, less gas, and stronger immunity.
Signs your dog might benefit from probiotics:
- Chronic gas or loose stools
- Scooting or licking their rear
- Grass eating or upset stomachs
- Frequent tummy noises

2. Feed Highly Digestible, Natural Foods
Choosing clean, highly digestible food makes a huge difference.
Look for foods with:
- Real, named meats (like chicken, lamb, turkey)
- Easy-to-digest carbs (sweet potatoes, rice)
- No corn, wheat, or soy fillers
Avoid heavily processed, chemical-laden foods that can irritate your dog's stomach.
3. Ensure They Stay Hydrated
Dehydration makes digestion harder, leading to constipation or upset stomachs.
Always ensure your dog has access to clean, fresh water—especially after exercise or hot days.
You can also add a splash of bone broth to meals for extra hydration and gut-friendly minerals!
4. Add Natural Digestive Superfoods
Some everyday foods can naturally aid your dog's digestion:
- Pumpkin: Rich in fibre, helps firm up loose stools
- Papaya: Contains digestive enzymes
- Flaxseed: Provides fibre and healthy fats
- Blueberries: Antioxidants and fibre boost gut health
Dr. Paul’s Chews already include many of these powerful ingredients—making daily digestion support effortless!
5. Manage Stress and Anxiety
Believe it or not, stress seriously affects gut health.
Anxious dogs often suffer from:
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
- Appetite loss
Keeping your dog’s daily routine calm, predictable, and enriched with mental stimulation can make a huge difference.
Bonus Tip: If your dog struggles with anxiety, try calming supplements like Dr. Paul’s Calming Soft Chews for natural stress relief.
Conclusion: Healthy Gut, Healthy Dog
Digestive health is the starting point for overall wellness.
By adding probiotics, feeding clean food, keeping your dog hydrated, and managing stress, you’ll set the foundation for a lifetime of energy, joy, and vibrant health.
