The Number One Thing You Can Do to Eliminate Dog Anxiety Diarrhea
Do you notice that every time your dog got stressed he also dumped a load of diarrhea? Don’t shoot the dog. There is help for him and it may prove easier than you thought. Stress induces dog anxiety and diarrhea and so can a poor-quality diet.
The number one thing you can do to get rid of your dog’s problem is to remove the cause of his anxiety where possible. Then a diet change may prove helpful too. It may seem an odd thought, to change the diet to eliminate the stress but it works.
Commercial dog foods are full of artificial substances and chemical toxins. Even some of the animals used for meat in commercial dog foods are toxic, diseased, or unhealthy in other ways. If you knew what meat by-products go into commercial dog food it would turn your stomach.
Anyway, these toxins and additives are not conducive to a relaxed mind and nervous system and not friendly to the intestines, which are where the physical aspects of the diarrhea problem live. So to eliminate dog anxiety diarrhea it is necessary to switch your dog to a healthier natural, preferably homemade diet.
This is not always easy because we are all so busy in our lives but consider the food-making time and then think about how much time you spend cleaning up after the dog, consoling her, and the trips to the vet and you might see that a little food preparation is not too time-consuming in the overall scheme of things.
Providing your canine friend with plenty of exercise, water and a healthy diet will go a long way in alleviating his or her problem. When a situation arises that you know will upset your dog, like a stay in the kennel, or the absence of a family member, continue to offer the exercise and food as per normal but also consider adding some natural tonic, like skullcap, to the food.
Skullcap is an herb known to help with nervousness and associated symptoms like dog anxiety and diarrhea. Because it is an herb you can be assured that there won’t be any negative side effects and you are not drugging or polluting your little canine friend.
These simple changes worked for many a dog parent. I am confident that they can work for you too. So try to identify and remove the source of your dog’s anxiety and look for higher-grade dog food to straighten out dog anxiety diarrhea.
