For dogs with healthy body and mind, they can do this with their daily bowel movements. Are dogs at home healthy?
During the entire process of feeding dogs, I firmly believe that all pet owners have observed the frequency of defecation of dogs every day. In fact, whether a dog is healthy or not can be understood by looking at the number of defecations. Let me tell you below, a dog with healthy body and mind, defecations several times a day. Let’s see if the dog at home is healthy!
How many times does a dog have a bowel movement every day?
If the dog at home is healthy, then the frequency of bowel movements should be 1 to 2 times per day, and the frequency of bowel movements should be 2 to 4 times per day. If the dog at home can achieve this number of bowel movements every day, it means that the human body is very healthy.
In addition, the frequency of bowel movements is also related to the frequency of feeding. Dogs have short gastrointestinal tract, and some dogs will also eat several meals and get several times. Sometimes there are more or less frequent occurrences, which is not a big problem.
If the frequency of long-term defecation of dogs at home does not achieve this, it means that it is not healthy!
Why can't dogs reach this number?
1. Although dogs like to eat bones, owners must not give their dogs too much. Eating too much bones will also lead to severe constipation and causing the dog to not defecate.
2. Dogs eat more but do not exercise or exercise less. Of course, they are very prone to obesity, and obesity can also cause constipation to the dog.
3. Dogs eat too much meat and eat a lot of animal internal organs, which is very prone to inflammation and constipation, which will eventually lead to constipation in the dog.
4. Eating randomly, such as gravel, soil and other foods that cannot be digested and absorbed, resulting in blockage of the stomach and intestines and severe constipation.
How to prevent constipation from dogs?
In fact, if you want to prevent dogs from being constipated, the owner should take good care of the dog's stomach and intestines. It is recommended that the owner must control the dog's feeding amount, and feed it with some easy-to-digest dog food or ingredients.
Dietary combination must be balanced. You should not forget to feed vegetables and fruits. If you are constipated, you can feed some sweet potatoes. If there is a standard, it is best to feed it some pet probiotics every week to maintain it. This will prevent diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, and severe constipation.
