Is OraVet Safe? Natural Remedies for Dental Care in Dogs and Cats

Hello to you fellow blog readers.

For those who aren’t aware, I jumped a bit too large cliff, aiming for the pillow of snow at the base of the tree, only to have my face slam into the tree.

Fortunately no concussion or fractures, but nasty wound and bruised ego.. The ER doc did a great job of suturing me up-

Here is the immediate post surgery pic.

Here is the wound 11 days later.

I am applying concentrated Vitamin E oil 3 times daily to potentially speed up healing and decrease scar formation.

Is OraVet Safe?

February is Dental Health Month, and many of you have likely heard about the variety of new dental products for dogs and cats.

Clearly teeth brushing is a simple, safe and advised remedy but…

——————————————
Only 2% brush teeth
——————————————

Most pet owners KNOW the importance of oral healthcare in their dogs and cats.

But studies show that pet owners are not following up with proper oral care at home.

In fact, data indicates that only 2% of owners brush their pets’ teeth with the frequency required to maintain proper oral health.

OraVet

Based on this data, the well meaning massive drug company Merial has developed a new dental product called ‘OraVet’

Not surprisingly it is backed by a teeny study…

Evaluation of a Barrier Dental Sealant in Dogs

A study of 40 healthy, randomly selected, client-owned, mixed- and pure-breed dogs with dental plaque, calculus or gingivitis assessed the efficacy of a barrier dental sealant.

Which then lets them say this:

OraVet has been shown in well-controlled studies to significantly reduce the formation of plaque and calculus.

But is it safe?

Well according to their FAQ page, it is completely safe..

Here is what it is on their veterinary information page:

The sealant is a biologically inert, patented polymer that electrostatically adheres to tooth enamel. Once applied, it creates an invisible barrier that has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the formation of plaque and calculus.

Some unknown and un-named patented chemical..

My suggestions would be to not put this in your dog or cat’s mouth every day.

Natural Options

Do something natural..

Natural Diets. Raw meaty bones and windpipes from cows or pigs can help keep teeth clean. If your dog splinters and swallows large pieces of bone, he is at risk of obstruction, so do not give him bones. Some dogs love chicken necks. To rule out the risk of Salmonella (a bacterial infection), put the bones or windpipes in boiling water for 30 seconds first.

Healthy Treats. Raw vegetables, such as carrots are a great, low calorie treat that can help clean the teeth. If your dog likes them, then feed away.

Brush. The best way to keep your pet’s teeth clean is by brushing. Ideally this should be done daily, but twice a week is a good goal. Begin by rubbing your finger around your pet’s mouth. Flavor it with tuna to make it enticing for your dog. A finger toothbrush can be used (it fits around the end of your finger). Use pet toothpaste, for if swallowed it will not upset your pet’s stomach. Baking soda is another safe natural toothpaste. The electric toothbrushes are very effective and the long neck helps you get to the back premolars.

Vitamin C is used by many alternative practitioners for dental disease. It is an immune stimulant and helps the production of normal gum and teeth tissue. The starting cat dose is 100 mg daily. The starting dog dose is 100 mg per 10 lbs daily. If your pet gets diarrhea, lower the dose.

Plaque Off. This is a completely natural product which is suitable for dogs. It is a special type of seaweed which has been found to have specific beneficial effects for oral care. It comes in a granulated form which is easily added to food every day. It is rich in natural iodine and contains important vitamins and minerals and is free from artificial colors, preservatives, gluten and sugar

Heal Your Pet At Home!

P.S. Dental Care is seen as crucial in increasing veterinary clinic revenue. It’s seen as a high value item that can dramatically add to the bottom line.

Not surprising that the big drug companies are there to ‘help’

Professional dental care definitely has its place. If your pet has moderate periodontal disease, then they need a proper dental.

But at topical chemical daily to prevent plaque?

This may have long term consequences.

There are many other things that you CAN do at home.

One that are safe, natural and effective.

  1. You gave options for dogs. Any natural options for cats? My cats have that absorption problem not really a cavity problem so why apply anything?

  2. im not finding any side effect information for Oravet dental chews. I have cut back to about 2 small chews each week for my Papillion. He started throwing up some of his food about 2-3 hours after eating. He had last check up in June 2016 and received a report of all within normal limits on all of his lab work. He is over 10 years old and has had no health issues until this. We started Oravet dental chews in June, cut back to one half chew about 2-3 weeks after beginning. Then we went to one whole chew every other day and now we are giving 2x week. His teeth have shown significant improvement. His breath is good but I am concerned about this throwing up. He eats Science Diet KD as a preventative for kidney disease. I worry the Oravet dental chews might be the culprit. I can’t find any info on side effects probably because none have been reported

  3. One of my chi’s was sent home with these chews after his dental. I gave him one a few days later and he wouldn’t touch it. So I gave my other 2 dogs one and they didn’t care for it either but they have food allergies so I started looking everywhere for the list of ingredients. I am highly suspicious when I can’t find actual studies or lists of ingredients as well as side effects.
    I won’t be using these and will go with your suggestions instead. Thanks.

  4. Are Oravet Dental Chews the same as what the Yanks call Greenies? I have read personal experience negative reviews as well as on line negative reports about Greenies. My dog has only just recovered from several surgeries, and I do not think she could handle another if the chew got caught in her intestines.

  5. My Vet gave some samples. Dog ate one. Next morning whining and giant lose stool. Tried to poo more immediately but nothing came out. Has eaten, has passed some more stool and is not loose, but still throwing up about twice a day for two days and it is clear/transparent. Will see soon how his stool is. Might have to go back to the Vet. Going to brush his teeth myself. Do not trust crap being pushed by vets anymore.

  6. I bought my little Min Pin these in extra small and for my Min Pin/Dash mix the Small, because they go by their weight. I gave them each one Friday the 13th of Jan, had to bring my Min Pin mix to Vets with bloody Diarreha and throwing up, Vet said it looks like from something he ate, anything new, Just the OraVet was new, he got treated but is still having diarrhea and it is now Sunday and my other little Min Pin started with green diarrhea and vomited in her crate last night and has the loose stool still and at times when taken out, tried to go but couldn’t after having the diarrhea first. They will have to go to the vet tomorrow, costing me more money. I would advice not giving these to your dogs until there is better information on them. I bought from my Dad’s Vet while his dog was being see , figured they were safe. My Dogs were not sick until after they ate these, they had one a day for 2 days, but no more for these, cleaning all this diarrhea up is disgusting not to mention my poor dogs don’t feel well. These chews can be dangerous for some dogs especially toy and small breeds. Talk to your vet first tell him about the reviews against this product.

  7. January 23,20017 I start giving ORA VET chews to my 5 years old miniature toy chihuahua (2 pounds, 5 ounces weight), just half chew for two days and the 2nd day she had like a TOXIC REACTION: extremely runny nose and lot of saliva coming out from her mouth causing her to not breathe well. I rush to take her to the PET 911 hospital at midnight and the Vet start giving her a treatment for intoxicated dog. My chihuahua was not sick until after she ate these 2 ORA VET CHEWS, I’m positive it was the ORA VET chew! I do not recommend ORA VET at all!

  8. I have three older dogs (9, 13 and 14) and got the OraVet chews from my Vet. The 13 yr old experienced diarrhea on and off for 2 weeks, after just one chew. Treated with Pepto and Metronidazole. This was about 6 wks ago. Her water consumption has steadily increased, and last week she started having accidents in the house, and then in her crate. Today she was diagnosed as diabetic. I have to believe there is a correlation.

  9. I have an older small Jack Russell at just 13#. I was given the Larger after dental cleaning also. Mickie loves them. But noticed diarrhea after a week. She was also started on another med at same time. So after starting and stopping both meds separately, I decided it was the Leader chews. Diarrhea has not reoccurred since stopping. Seems after reading above small dogs are most effected.

  10. Do not give these to your dog! I gave my Pom one and he was up all night drinking water like crazy. Noticed he could not urinate and when he walked his belly sounded like a tight balloon with water sloshing inside and was super bloated. Took him to the vet first thing in the AM and after an X-ray he sent us for an urgent MRI. For whatever reason his intestines would not process the water he drank. Fortunately after a few hours he started urinating A LOT! $1,500.00 later…I suggest you throw them away in a toxic landfill.

  11. No these are not the same as Greenies. My vet just gave me a few samples & both dogs loved them. One is a early kidney distinction dog, so I’m still trying to find out if these are safe for him (phosphorus & potassium must be kept to minimum).

  12. I was given samples of OraVet chews for my two small Rat Terrier/Jack Russel mix male dogs. In the afternoon of the day I gave them they had both had nasty green loose stools and later one of them vomited green chunks of this product twice. The product is green in color. The next day they both had normal stools and no vomiting. I called the vet office to let them know, and I threw the remaining samples into the trash. My advice is please do not feed these to your dog. Truly, its not worth it.

  13. You had mentioned electric toothbrushes. Are these specifically for dogs or “human” electric toothbrushes? Also, is it overkill to use the vitamin C (I’m guessing in chewable tablets) and the plaque off? or do you recommend one or the other. Thank you!

  14. Thank you to everyone for sharing their experiences. My dog underwent an extensive dental procedure on 3/15/17, which included 8 extractions. This was done by a board certified dental veterinarian. They advised me to brush his teeth everyday, give him 1 Oravet Dental Hygiene chew per day, and also use Healthy Mouth (a water additive). The website for Healthy Mouth contains a lot of info, but like others, I’m not able to find much info on these chews. I, too, am highly suspicious when I can’t find ingredients ANYWHERE. I do not plan to give my dogs the chews. I also want to comment on the recommendation for raw meaty bones. Over the course of 5 years I gave my dog a RMB every week on the advice of my integrative vet, and they were the cause of several fractured teeth, and a huge vet dental bill. Those clearly are not the answer either. Daily brushing seems to be the best preventative care. I’m hoping the Healthy Mouth water additive is useful as well.

  15. FYI – If you phone Merial they will provide you with a list of ingredients that could cause potential allergies. Here are a few of them. I believe there was one other item included in what gives the green color, but I don’t recall it right now.

    Wheat Gluten
    Corn Oil
    Soy and Rice Flour
    Port Gelatin
    Vanilla
    Cellulous
    Calcium
    Alfalfa (gives green color)
    Parsley Flakes (gives green color)
    Potassium Sorbate
    <.3 salt
    sucralose

  16. Seeing a lot on here about diarrhea…our 10yo maltipoo-havernese has never been sick other than yearly ear infections but has had diarrhea and decreased appetite and lethargy for the last few days. The vet linked it to stress since we just moved but she other than this, she is showing no sign of stress. She looked pretty much normal yesterday, so I gave her a chew. Looks worse today than Saturday, so I wonder…

  17. My dog started these after his dental surgery. He was fine for awhile. After giving him one last week he was vomiting the whole day. He was throwing up the greenie. I called the manufacturer and reported it. Its been a week and he still is not the same. Slowly weaning him off the Hamburg and rice.

  18. Nnonono. Gave my Bichon one. Started with loose stools the next day. A few days later Lots of pure blood from rectum. Almost died $1000 later and Er overnight and 2 vet visits with 3 take home medications he is improving. DO NOT USE THESE

  19. Our 16 year old mini dachshund has been eating these chews for a few weeks now, every other day. My hubby cuts them in half lengthwise because our dog will chew off a large chunk and swallow without chewing. Hubby holds onto the chew to make sure our dog gets small bites (still without chewing). All of a sudden, the dog is having diarrhea with occasional blood, with additional green color. After having a BM, he scoots his bottom on the grass. His anal sacs are not an issue as they are regularly squeezed. The OraVet chews are the only new introduction to his diet and now I’m thinking the chews are the culprit. He seemed worse this last weekend, and we are monitoring him closely but will give him no further chews. I agree with comments on here – what good are the chews if the dogs just bite off a piece and swallow it. We will go back to Milk Bones.

  20. Hi. My Shepherd Lab mix recently was given Oravet and also an antibiotic for an ear infection. She has never vomited in the six +years I’ve had her but did after a few days time. An ingredient in this product I read about is a polymer which is a plastic sealant. Could this be coating her stomach causing vomiting? Any science behind ingesting plastic?

  21. Rusty is a 12-yo rescue w/ breath that would knock over a buffalo, even w/a recent dental. Vet suggested the Oravet chews. First, box he was fine – except for green poop. Second box he seemed o.k. – so that would have been 6 weeks because on the second box I started giving one every other day just because the chew texture made me nervous. But breath definitely better.

    THEN! Last week – after I plunged in and bought the big box, his appetite has dropped to almost nothing, energy level is tanked, he’s not eating, this morning he upchucked every bit of the chew I gave him last night. We’re done…he’s on chicken, rice & pumpkin as of today and no more chews.

    NOTHING else had changed in his diet or his routine…

  22. Many thanks to you all sharing your experiences- I am very grateful. I bought 6 individual chews to give a try – I will not be using them! With kindest regards From Frankie especially who has been ‘spared’ all the trauma! Regards Katie NZ

  23. Thank GOD i read all of these comments. I bought a few samples yesterday for my 12 week old yorkiepoo Jax & he nawed at it for a few minutes & licked it. Unsuccessfully able to even break it down at all & when i picked it up to try & break it down a little further, it just bent like rubber! I hurried up & tossed that in the trash, no way will i let him digest that! Thank you guys for your comments. They help alot.
    Signed, Protective Parent.

  24. Gave these to our super healthy, six year old German shepherd dog — one every three days for a total of five chews given.

    Long story, short: he ended up w/ a bleeding ulcer. He had bad diarrhea, then blood in his diarrhea, and then his red blood cells started dropping.

    He had two blood transfusions and barely made it. He’s fine today, but my husband and I thought long and hard about what we’d done differently with him.

    We gave him those stupid dental chews. Yeah, my trust of vets has disappeared.

  25. I have a 2 year old purebred German Shepherd I bought an entire box of OraVet. I’ve tried them twice both times she had runny diarrhea for a day and a half and then I tried 1/4 of 1 and she was sick all day! I’m going to try and return the Box. I definitely think there’s something wrong with these things!

  26. My 9 yr old Pom has ended up with constipation every time I have given her Oravet Chews. They don’t seem to break down and bog her up. I know it is the chews as When she can go to the toilet the green chew comes out first. It is not nice starving her then watching her trying to toilet day after day. I give her liquid parafin which does nothing to move the chew. It takes a few days for her to pass the chew.

  27. I wish i would have read the reviews before we gave our Brittany one of these chews. My husband got 3 as a sample from the Vet.on Monday. He gave her one and she devoured it, barley even chewed it. her appetite and Bm’s are normal, but Tuesday and Wed. she threw up yellow foam at 430 in the afternoon. I know it’s the chew, but the Vet still insists it can’t be. I threw the other two away and hoping she is able to just the chew that is sitting in the bottom of her stomach.If this continues we will have to make a trip to the vet.

  28. My dog loves the oravets – I have a l0 lb shih tzu – She recently has been diagnosed with kidney issues and the vet told me that she is to be on prescription kidney diet now – I just wonder if the oravets might be contributing to the elevated numbers – I called the company and they cannot give a list of the ingredients – They are proprietary – that alone scares me – Might anyone have any thoughts or suggestions – thank you

  29. We took my Labrador Retriever to the vet they were giving them out to sample. I have him one to try. He like it and when I read the box, there were NO INGREDIENTS. STRANGE. Now with my Lab having food allergies I chose NOT to buy them and I thought IF the company wants my business they would put the much needed information on the box. I went onto the website and read about the product. Let me say one thing to those of you who bought the product and gave it to your babies. Did you visit the website and learn about the product? Did you call the company and learn what the ingredients are in the product? I make sure every year my Labrador has Lab Work done to make sure all his organs are functioning properly being he has thyroid problems. He is allergic to poultry, and we found out by looking at his paws that he falls into the category with other pups that peanut butter is also an allergy. Pay attention to your baby’s diet and look at there teeth and make sure they can chew there food. Thanks to Bernadette for POSTING THE INGREDIENTS:
    Wheat Gluten
    Corn Oil
    Soy and Rice Flour
    Port Gelatin
    Vanilla
    Cellulous
    Calcium
    Alfalfa (gives green color)
    Parsley Flakes (gives green color)
    Potassium Sorbate
    <.3 salt
    sucralose

  30. My 7 lb poodle had dental surgery 3 weeks ago. Recheck and the vet sent her home with samples
    Of OraVet chews. I gave her one and she is experiencing extreme constipation. Yesterday was only able to pass a little green poo, today she has tried and tried, only to pass just a little of the green stuff again. It’s pitiful. I’ll never give these things again

  31. My 6 yr old 35 lb aussiedoodle has munched down an Oravet Chew about every other day for several months. No problem with diarrhea, but occasional constipation. Poop is very green (as a result of this product). My biggest concern, aside from not helping her teeth and breath that much, is the apparent addictiveness of this product. I cut back to every other day as my pooch would come to me every day in the early afternoon mooching for an Oravet chew. On the days when she gets one she is totally frenetic about getting it. On the days where she doesn’t, she casts dirty looks in my general direction. Something in this chew is like crack for dogs (well, at least for my dog).

  32. Vet gave me free samples of these after a dental on my dog. Gave him half of a small one to see if he liked it. He devoured it, swallowing part in a big chunk. He’s been sick for two days! Green vomit and green diarrhea. Wish I hadn’t trusted the vet and would have read reviews first! I’m praying this passes and he doesn’t get worse as many of your dogs have. So sick after only half of one!

  33. ATTENTION TO ANYONE WHO OWNS A DOG…DO NOT …Give your dog OraVet Dental Hygiene Chews!!! They are vet perscribed!! Some dogs it does not bother them…but others like my dog, Josie (a year and a half old Dauchsand)…..almost died yesterday because of them! Yesterday was the first time I gave her one and within the hour….she was limp and could not stand or lift her head!! She also had a seziure!!! Violent throwing up…and her Potassium level got real low….I had to put her overnight in a animal hospital ….the hospital got her vitals back to normal but I know that these caused this reaction in her!! I gave them to my other dogs…and nothing happened…but Josie had a reaction and she could of died!! I did some research and have seen other post that other dogs have had the same reaction as my dog did……Hospital said she was critical and in life threatening conditon!! SO BE AWARE DOG OWNERS!! IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK!! PLEASE SHARE AND LET THIS GO VIRAL TO WARN OTHER DOG OWNERS!!! THANK YOU!!!

  34. UPDATE ON MY JOSIE…The Hospital Doctor called me at 7am and told me….Josie is just fine now!!! (I cried and prayed all night! Thank you God) She was standing up, holding her head up, and eating…vitals were back to normal. Its like NOTHING ever happened to her! The Hospital flushed out her system with fluids and she vomited all that chew up. I know in my head these dental chews caused a serious critical reaction to my dauchsand dog….I did research…I saw other posts where other dog owners have said these chews caused the same reaction…not all dogs …just something in these chews that pick a chosen few…Unfortunately my Josie was one of them! IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK TO GO THROUGH WHAT I DID AND SHE DID YESTERDAY…DO NOT GIVE YOUR DOG THESE DENTAL CHEWS!!

  35. I would advise against Oral Vet Dental Chews. I gave my almost 2years old one a day. She has had sever diareah for 2 days. Anything with the green coloring is not good either.
    These are the only things she had been given and nothing else could cause the green diareah but those.
    I will not give her anymore at all.
    I would not advise giving your dog any at all.

  36. These thing are the WORST product ever. My dog had dirrahea and was heaving throwing up after taking them. Last night he threw up blood. Never had a digestive issue before these things. I am on my way to the emergency room! STAY AWAY

  37. I do not advise using OraVet chews. I work in the veterinary field and have seen a few side effects with the main being diarrhea and/or green stool. I have also have seen pets who experience itching. My biggest concern is that there are no ingredients listed on their website, on their packaging or anywhere online which makes me wary of the product.

  38. My dog thinks the treatment is like crack! I have wanted to know what ingredient is so addictive that had me concerned. Enough to stop. He cries for it at night or lays next to the freezer until he gets one. Not very sociable.
    Anyone know what makes dogs obsessed with them?
    Now I have to worry about kidneys. Both of my English cockers got that. I give mine very finely filtered water. If this is a problem. He may have to check into rehab..
    Wonder what the doctor thinks of these ingredients?
    Sorry my phones screen is broken, my typing worse than usual

  39. Hey guys. My dog is very sick from these as well. If anyone has advice on what they fed their dogs while they were recouping from this terrible stuff, I would love to hear it. I was trying to feed my little guy chicken breast, white rice and bone broth. He was eating it at first, but now is trying to get the rice out grain by grain.,… lol. Anyway, maybe I should go buy some sensitive stomach food?? Sometimes he doesn’t want to eat at all. 🙁
    His poor guts! This stuff is freaking POISON and should NOT be given to dogs!
    I think maybe he needs a tiny bit of fiber in there as well… so maybe store bought food that has a little sweet potato or something like that…?

  40. My dog, Roscoe, is 70 lb., so he gets the large sized Oravet once a day. He loves it. I do hold it and make him take one bite at a time while I watch him chew. Given that the active ingredient functions by coating the teeth to prevent bacterial adhesion, the chewing seems the most important part. Every vet he has been to has commented on how good his teeth look. They say he does not need cleaning in the clinic. I also brush his teeth a couple of times a week with Petrodex; although, sometimes I am more slack about that. Roscoe much prefers the Oravet over having his teeth brushed.

    Yes, his poop shows some green, but it is of normal consistency and frequency. No diarrhea at all. No vomiting. Main down side is that the product is rather expensive. But given that oral health is highly correlated with overall health, it is worth the expense to me.

  41. I gave these dental treats to my Papillon a few years ago without a problem and he devoured them. I wanted to keep giving them to him since he liked them so much, but the cost was was a turn off.

    Recently, my mom got a bag from the vet and I started giving them to him again. Just like before, he devoured them. But, this time he started having green diarrhea from them. I had trouble finding the ingredients, as they’re not listed on the bag or website. I finally found a list of ingredients on Chewy. It’s a short list too. Here are the ingredients:

    Pork Protein, Wheat, and Soy.* Each chew contains 0.7% (wt/wt) Delmopinal HCI delivered in a proprietary chewable formulation.

    I think it’s the soy causing the problem.

    1. There are lot of reasons that pets get diarrhea, here are some tips on treating one.

      Diarrhea in dogs is categorized as being either small bowel diarrhea (it originates from the small intestine), or large bowel diarrhea (it originates from the colon). Small bowel diarrhea is generally large volume, not very frequent, at times with vomiting and weight loss. The causes of small bowel diarrhea are many, from parasites to infectious agents. Large bowel diarrhea signs include frequent bowel movements, straining, with occasional mucous and blood. Most large bowel diarrhea is classified as colitis, being caused by dietary indiscretion.

      Severe diarrhea that results in dehydration is a medical emergency and must be dealt with by your veterinarian. If you have a young unvaccinated dog the diarrhea may have an infectious cause; the dog must be examined by a veterinarian. If your pet is still very alert, active and drinking, then try some of the following home remedies.

      Stop putting food into your pet for 24 hours (Day 1). This allows the intestines to rest and regenerate. Always have access to plenty of fresh water. After 24 hours, introduce a bland food for the next 24 hours (Day 2). Plain cooked white rice for dogs, feeding equivalent cups of rice as their normal diet. After a day of the bland food mix 1/2 regular diet and 1/2 bland diet (Day 3). By the end of Day 3, they should be back on their normal diet.

      Probiotics help restore the natural bacteria in the intestine, normalizing the intestinal immune system. The most effective supplement is Lactobacillus acidophilus ” give 1/4 capsule per 10 lbs of body weight twice daily. I advise probiotics for all cases of diarrhea, but purchase them from a reputable source to ensure the probiotics are active.

      Pepto-Bismol is an old standby that can be effective for dogs. The dog dose is 1 ml/10 lbs of body weight given three times daily for no more than 7 days. Imodium (Loperamide) can be used with care, avoid giving it to Collie’s or Collie crosses. The dose for dogs is 0.5 mg/10 lbs three times daily (give your 40 lb dog one 2 mg tablet three times daily).

      Kaopectate has a newer version that is safer for dogs. It contains attapulgite clay as the active ingredient which binds toxins, decreases the fluid in the intestinal tract and subsequent diarrhea. Dose for dogs: 0.5-1.0 ml per pound by mouth every 4-6 hours. Treatment should only be needed for 1-2 days.

      There are a few herbs that I am finding helpful for dog diarrhea. Slippery Elm in the dried form can be helpful for chronic diarrhea, such as inflammatory bowel disease in dogs. The dried herb dose is 20 mg/lb of body weight twice daily. Peppermint helps with intestinal gas and cramping; give 25 mg/lb of body weight twice daily of the dried herb or 1 drop/lb of body weight twice daily of the tincture.

      One homeopathic in particular stands out as being especially useful for most cases of diarrhea in dogs. It is called Arsenicum Album, and is my preferred homeopathic remedy for dogs with ‘Garbage Gut’. Dose: 1 30C tab per 20lbs every 2-4 hours.

      You now should have a good understanding of what the signs and symptoms of dog diarrhea. You should be able to differentiate between large and small bowel diarrhea, and now know when to seek urgent veterinary care, or try some of my suggested home remedies. Now you have a selection of home remedies to use the next time your dog gets diarrhea, and you can now stop your dog’s diarrhea fast at home.
