Assuming your dog is healthy and has no ongoing problems, an upset stomach can be caused by many things, including eating a new food, having a new treat or chew that has higher-than-usual fat content, a change in environment, or eating too fast. Here’s how to identify a dog’s upset stomach and treat it.
Symptoms
Vomiting or diarrhea
Inability to settle down and pacing back and forth
Using grass to help quickly purge the contents of the stomach (if available)
Audible gurgling in the belly
Excess flatulence
At-home Remedies
Let them rest as much as they need.
Add electrolytes to their water. Giving your dog electrolytes helps them to recover and ensures that they do not dehydrate. You can buy this from your vet.
Feed bland food. Given in small amounts but frequently, bland foods can help settle the upset. Some examples include chicken and rice, scrambled eggs, hard-boiled eggs, boiled potatoes, white fish or pasta.
Add supplements to their diet. Supplements that contain kaolin and psyllium help bind diarrhea together and settle the upset. Probiotics also help balance gut bacteria.
Prevention
Feeding a high quality diet
Limiting the number of treats they're given
