Dog Digestion

If you're looking for cost-effective and sustainable supplements, you're in the right place.

Sealions offers high-quality supplements that boost your dog's immune system and relieve the symptoms of digestive problems.

What causes digestive problems in dogs?

Just like humans, dogs can suffer from a variety of digestive problems. There are many causes, and it's not always down to food choices.

Let's take a look at them.

Poor food choices

When it comes to food, dogs aren't picky. They'll eat almost everything they can find, and the wrong foods can have adverse effects. Many foods are poisonous to dogs, including chocolate, avocado, onions and corn on the cob, so eating them can create digestive issues.

Spoiled food can also cause problems, as will an unhealthy diet. It's essential to check your dog's diet before panicking because - in many cases - making changes along with using supplements might improve the symptoms.

Canine Parvovirus

Canine parvovirus is a highly contagious viral disease that affects dogs of all ages. The virus occurs when a dog comes into contact with infected faeces and can quickly lead to severe dehydration, vomiting, and diarrhoea.

Puppies and young dogs are particularly vulnerable to the virus, as they have not yet developed immunity.

Treatment for canine parvovirus typically involves hospitalisation and intensive supportive care. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential for the best possible outcome, as it's a severe disease. With prompt treatment, most dogs can make a full recovery.

Viruses and bacteria

Dogs are susceptible to various bacteria and viruses that can cause digestive problems, including abdominal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting. Some infections can lead to dehydration and death in severe cases.

Sudden diet changes

Sudden diet changes can be hard on a dog's stomach and may cause symptoms. Dogs used to eating one type of food may not have the enzymes necessary to digest a new kind of food properly, so you should introduce new foods slowly.

Supplements can also help by adding beneficial enzymes to your dog's system, as they'll support your dog as they adjust to their new diet.

Parasites

One of the most common digestion problems in dogs is parasites. These tiny creatures can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea, weight loss, and malnutrition.

While most parasites are harmless, some can be dangerous and even life-threatening. Digestive supplements can help your dog to overcome the condition, and medication from the vet will also treat parasites.

Is your dog's digestive system working correctly?

It's difficult for people to know when their dog is unwell because they're unable to communicate their symptoms verbally. However, poor digestive health can create numerous symptoms, and if you notice them, your pup probably requires some digestive enzymes to support gut health.

Diarrhoea

One of the most common signs of digestive problems in dogs is diarrhoea.

While many conditions can cause diarrhoea, including feeding your dog the wrong food, or general stomach upsets, it's never normal, and you should always investigate further.

If your dog has diarrhoea, you should monitor them closely and contact your veterinarian if it persists for more than a few days or comes with other symptoms.

Vomiting

Vomiting is another common symptom of digestive stress and is caused by many of the same issues that cause diarrhoea, such as infections, food allergies, and anxiety.

If your dog is vomiting, it is crucial to monitor them closely and seek veterinary advice if the vomiting persists for more than a few days or comes with other symptoms.

Weight Loss

Weight loss in pets is never a good sign, and it's best to get a vet to take a look immediately. Malabsorption, intestinal parasites and cancer can all cause weight loss, but apart from the latter, supplements can support your dog.

Poor Appetite

Everyone with a dog will know that a poor appetite signifies something serious. Dogs usually love food, so if your pup turns its nose at its favourite treats, it could be because they're having digestive issues.

Just like humans with digestive issues, your dog's food will be the last thing on its mind if it's struggling.

Flatulence

Food intoleraces, dietary changes and intestinal parasites can cause flatulence in dogs, but digestive support supplements can make a big difference. They provide targeted support and improve your dog's digestion by introducing healthy bacteria and enzymes.

Improve your dog's immune system and digestive health with Sealions

Digestive supplements offer many benefits to dogs, but they're not all made equal. We created our dog shop because we know that dogs are just as much family members as humans.

When you choose our supplements, you can guarantee you're providing nutritional support for your pup and promoting healthy digestion.

Packed with probiotics

Enterococcus faecium is a bacteria that occurs in the intestines of mammals. It's also become a popular probiotic that offers numerous health benefits for dogs.

Probiotics are live microorganisms that can offer health benefits when administered in suitable amounts. E. faecium can promote gut health and help prevent gastrointestinal infections.

Our supplements have the perfect amount of E. faecium, guaranteeing your dog will have plenty of good bacteria, which in turn can boost the immune system.

Beta-glucans

Beta-glucans are soluble fibres found in the cell walls of yeast, fungi, bacteria and plants. The natural substance offers many benefits for dogs, including boosting the immune system, fighting inflammation and improving gut health.

Ginger and turmeric

Ginger and turmeric both contain compounds that offer numerous gut benefits.

For example, ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory agent that can help to reduce inflammation throughout the body, including in the gut.

It also helps to increase digestive motility, making it an effective treatment for nausea, indigestion, and other gastrointestinal issues.

Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound that has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properites.

It can improve gut health, reducing intestinal permeability and restoring gut barrier function when taken correctly.
