Diarrhea is one of the most common complaints among dog owners. This could be for various reasons. If your dog has diarrhea, consider the amount of food you’re feeding as well as the type, where your dog has been playing, and any outside stressors. We recommend bland chicken and rice to help settle the stomach. If the diarrhea persists, consult your vet.
We recommend bathing your dog at least once every 3 months depending on activity, medical conditions, and coat length. If your dog gets dirty in between baths, you can rinse them with water or wipe them off with a damp towel. Spacing out your dog’s baths will allow the natural oils in their skin to come out and helps to prevent dry skin.
