Constipation

Help Your Dog Heal Naturally

When a dog is constipated, their bowel movements can be infrequent, uncomfortable, or difficult to pass. Fortunately, it is a common issue that can be easily treated in most cases.

Typically, a dog will average one to two stools per day, but they can also go without having a bowel movement for a day or two. Stools should be average in size with no signs of straining or difficulty during the defecation process. Stools can become hard, dry and difficult to pass if more than two days go by, so what can you do for a dog with constipation?

Ingesting indigestible materials such as bone chips, hair, cloth, grass, and paper
