IBD support for dogs
Gastritis in dogs can commonly sneak up on us as pet parents. The health condition refers to the inflammation of the stomach lining, which can cause discomfort and distress for our canine companions. Dog gastritis can be triggered by various factors, including dietary indiscretions, infections, or even stress, making it imperative to take proactive measures to support your furkiddo.
Addressing Gastritis in Dogs Naturally
Understanding the signs of gastritis is vital for prompt intervention. Keep an eye out for symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, decreased appetite, and abdominal discomfort. If you notice these signs persisting or worsening, it’s time to consult your veterinarian to confirm if you’re dealing with gastritis in dogs or any other health issue.
Dog gastritis can be triggered by various factors, making it imperative to take proactive measures to support your furkiddo.
Always follow your vet’s advice and course of treatment. They may recommend medications or a special diet tailored to your pet’s needs. If you are interested in a home-cooked diet, our in-house veterinarian at NHV can help you.
In the meantime, there are several ways to provide comfort and support from home to your furry friend’s gastrointestinal health. Ensuring your pet stays well-hydrated is a great starting point. Dehydration can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues, so offer water regularly.
Allowing your dog ample rest can also aid in the healing process. Stress can contribute to gastritis, so a calm environment is beneficial. NHV Lesstress and NHV Matricalm can also help your furry friend stay calm and stress-free in cases of gastritis caused by stress.
Diet plays a crucial role in managing and preventing gastritis. In most cases, these tips can go a long way:
Balanced and Easily Digestible Diet
Provide a well-balanced, easily digestible diet. This can be easier on the stomach during bouts of gastritis. High-quality pet food can go a long way in maintaining digestive health.
Regular Mealtimes to Help Prevent Gastritis in Dogs
Establish a consistent feeding schedule. Avoid feeding your dog large amounts of food all at once, as this can strain their digestive system. Instead, consider feeding your dog smaller, more frequent meals.
Avoid Table Scraps and Human Food
Limit your dog’s access to table scraps and human food. Reduce the fat content and avoid spicy foods, as these can exacerbate inflammation. Some foods, like onions, chocolate, and certain spices, can be toxic to dogs and cause even more serious symptoms.
Supplements that Support Gastritis in Dogs
Nutritional supplements can also play an important role in proactively supporting your little one’s gastrointestinal health or addressing the uncomfortable symptoms of gastritis in dogs. These are our main recommendations for natural gut support:
- NHV Tumflora was specifically formulated to help soothe the stomach and intestines and improve nutrient absorption.

Like humans, Inflammatory or Irritable Bowel Disease, also known as IBD, is a common gastrointestinal problem in dogs. When your furbaby has IBD, inflammatory cells within their body begin to invade the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The stomach, small intestine, and large intestine are all part of the GI tract. Once inflammatory cells start to take over the GI tract, a thickening of the intestinal wall can occur, upsetting daily functions like absorption and the movement of food (peristalsis). There is no clear cause for IBD in dogs, but studies show that genetic and external factors can predispose your pet to have IBD. Some additional contributing factors may be chronic irritation of the intestines caused by constant vomiting and diarrhea, food allergies, parasites, and autoimmune disorders.
How TumFlora Supports GI Tract Health
TumFlora is a natural herbal vet formulation designed to help improve intestinal flora. In addition to helping improve intestinal flora, and helping with inflammation of the digestive tract, TumFlora contains herbs that are highly nutritious like slippery elm to further help your furbaby heal. Slippery elm is high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamin A, B complex, C, K, calcium, magnesium and sodium. The gentle defense against microorganisms and anti-fungal properties of herbs like oregon grape aid the body to fight off infections. Finally, herbs like fennel and chamomile help to relieve stomach cramps and indigestion and help with overall discomfort.
This soothing liquid formulation is easy to administer and helps maintain a healthy gut. In addition to helping IBD in dogs, TumFlora is also useful for pets suffering from food allergies, gastrointestinal ulcers and bacterial, gut infections. TumFlora is also a great addition to your pet’s daily regimen as a proactive approach for a healthy gut.
Symptoms of IBD in dogs
Dogs will occasionally vomit or have diarrhea because something doesn’t sit right with their tummies, or maybe they ate too much or too little that day. But if your furkiddo begins to vomit and their poops are runny on a regular basis then it could be IBD. Keep your eye out for these additional symptoms:
- Weight loss
- Loss of appetite
- Straining to defecate
- Lethargy
Typically your vet will do a full-body exam, check your dog’s history, conduct a blood panel, take a stool sample, and possibly opt for x-rays and/or an ultrasound. IBD in dogs can be tough to diagnose because your vet will have to check for a variety of conditions as well as vital organ functions before they can confirm diagnosis. Other health conditions that have similar symptoms to IBD are GI parasites, kidney or liver disease, pancreatitis, cancer, or foreign substances and objects in the intestines. To confirm IBD, your vet may eventually conduct a biopsy on your pup's stomach and/or intestinal tract.
Additional Holistic Support for Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Dogs
A combination of vet-prescribed medication and nutritional therapy is often recommended to alleviate symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease. If your pet is prone to inflammatory bowel disease in dogs, changing your dog’s diet to a more gut-friendly one is recommended.

As pet parents, we are constantly looking for ways to keep our furkiddos happy and healthy. An essential aspect of their well-being often revolves around maintaining a healthy digestive system. Just like in humans, a well-functioning gut is also vital for dogs, impacting their overall health and vitality. Our natural probiotics for dogs can help you achieve that. As a great proactive support, this supplement can be taken long-term to support your pup’s gut health and more.
What Are Prebiotics & Probiotics?
First things first, let’s understand what are the roles of prebiotics and probiotics and their importance. Prebiotics are plant fibers that feed the “good” bacteria that are already in your pup's gut. They aren’t digested and they stay in the colon to promote the growth of beneficial bacteria.
Probiotics, on the other hand, are live bacteria and yeasts that offer numerous health benefits, especially for the digestive system! Essentially, prebiotics are food for probiotics. When ingested, they can help maintain a healthy balance of gut bacteria and support healthy gut function.
How NHV Prebiotics + Probiotics Helps Support Dogs
Now you understand the functions of prebiotics and probiotics individually, how can they work together to benefit your doggo? It could help in the following ways:
- Restoring Balance & Aiding Digestion:
As mentioned, both prebiotics and probiotics help balance the amount of healthy bacteria in your little one. They work synergistically to restore the natural balance of the gut microbiome, ensuring that the friendly bacteria outweigh the harmful ones. This balance is crucial for a healthy digestive tract. It may help ease digestive discomfort and promote smoother digestion.
- Supporting Immunity:
A healthy gut can be very helpful in balancing your pup’s immune system. By maintaining a balanced gut microbiome, prebiotics and probiotics contribute to a stronger immune response, helping your dog fend off disease.
- Addressing Stress & Anxiety:
Ever gotten that sting in your stomach when you’re stressed about something? Turns out, our dogs get that too. They may experience diarrhea in stressful situations like visiting a vet. That’s because stress and anxiety responses may affect the digestive flow of your little one and cause an upset stomach. Prebiotics and probiotics can play a role in supporting these issues.
*As extra support, our vet-formulated pro and prebiotic contains added pumpkin and carrot powder to help enhance the absorption of the supplement!
