Pets can’t tell us they’re suffering, but the signs of stomach issues are obvious: flatulence, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or constipation. Happily, there are natural remedies that offer relief for pets.

To Eat or Not to Eat? 

Stomach upset is a form of inflammation, so an anti-inflammatory, grain-free diet is the first line of defense against indigestion. Make sure fresh, clean water is available at all times to keep your pet hydrated. Don’t overfeed your dog or cat, as eating too much food can lead to stomach issues, just as it does in people. If your pet has chronic flatulence, for example, think about what may be causing it. Did you treat your pet to cheese? Many dogs react to these foods the same way lactose-intolerant people do, so eliminating dairy is a good idea.
