What In Dog Food Makes Ensures A Firmer Stool?

Your pet’s digestive system is super important. Not only does it eliminate solids from their bodies, but it also aids in a healthy immune system and their overall wellbeing. If not fed correctly, your doggo is likely to develop digestive issues with long-term effects.

Below are a few common symptoms that point toward a digestive disorder:

  • Constipation 
  • Bloating
  • Weight loss
  • Vomiting 
  • Diarrhoea
  • Disinterest in food

If your dog is experiencing any of the above, consult a trusted vet for treatment methods.

So, how do you ensure a healthy digestive system? It all comes down to the food you give them. Any high-quality pet food, like Complete Pet Food, will process the ingredients at the correct temperatures to ensure your pooch can absorb all the necessary nutrients. This is especially the case with grains, vegetable fibre, and meat products. 

Pro- and prebiotics are great inclusions in any dog food as they will aid in your pet digesting their food properly. The same goes for dog food that includes wheat bran. Bran is packed with fibre and so will promote healthier, firmer stool. 

The following ingredients are also great for promoting balanced gut health:

  • Animal fat
  • Meat protein
  • Vegetables
  • Flaxseed
  • Berries
  • Bananas
  • Turmeric
