Dog Constipation? Home Remedies That Cure Dog Constipation
Does your dog have constipation? Does it happen frequently? Dogs sometimes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], constipate for a number of reasons. If your dog starts constipating, don�t panic just yet. In this article, we'll be looking at the various home remedies you could quickly apply to cure and relieve the dog of its constipation -if you suspect it has any.
If you are unsure of what the term constipation means, here is the definition. It is defined according to Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary as the difficult or infrequent emptying of the bowels. Did you think it was only restricted to man? Now you know. Dogs too have it.
The following usually cause constipation;

2,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Lack of fiber in its meals.
3. Lack of water
4. Lack of good diet and exercise.
5. Feeding from the dinner table.
6. Psychological stress and lack of proper grooming
So what cures or home remedies can do the "magic"?
1. Maintain a healthy routine in terms of proper diet and exercise. This is necessary because exercise triggers the movement of the dog's bowel. Exercise makes it possible for the dog to move its bowel. Walking your dog twice a day -if you can afford the time- is good. But if you can't, make sure you do it once a day.
Another option you might want to consider is employing the services of a Dog walker. For a token fee, they could help you walk your dog around the neighborhood. To do this, consult your phonebook or phone directory for a listing. On the other hand,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you might want to search for them online. You can easily do this by typing the Keyword "Dog walking services + Your State" in the search bar. For example, it could be "Dog walking services in Boston". You get the idea.
It works if you can trust other people with your dog. By the way, there is nothing to be worried about as all the dog walkers are usually confirmed to be excellent animal lovers. Therefore, your dog is safe. In the meantime, if you want to give a quick remedy, add two teaspoonfuls of bran to its meal and you are good to go.
2. Addition of half a teaspoonful of psyllium -Metamucil- to its meal twice a day.
3. Give your dog lots of water to drink, as feaces needs moisture to be easily expelled.
4. In cases where you have large build-up of hard stool,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], two teaspoonfuls of mineral oil should be added to its meal twice a day for a week.
Use these tips and you may not even need to see the vet. But if your dog's condition has not improved after all these treatments and you notice its inability to pass stool, decreased appetite, passing of blood no matter how small, then it's time to check in with the Vet.
