Spot the Signs, Know the Nutrients, and Make Confident Mealtime Choices

Why Your Dog’s Tummy Health Matters

Digestive health doesn’t just affect poop — it influences your dog’s energy, skin, mood, and immunity. Many common signs like loose stools, excessive gas, dull coat, or low appetite may indicate that their current food isn’t the right match.

A healthy gut = better digestion, stronger immunity, and visible vitality.

Signs Your Dog’s Food May Not Be a Good Fit

  • Irregular or soft poop

  • Excessive flatulence or bloating

  • Dull coat or itchy skin

  • Low appetite or frequent skipping of meals

  • Lethargy or sudden weight changes

What Influences Food Compatibility?

Factor

Why It Matters

Life Stage

Puppies, adults, and seniors require different nutrients.

Activity Level

Energetic dogs need more calories, protein, and joint support.

Breed & Size

Small breeds have faster metabolisms; large breeds need joint and bone support.

Digestive Sensitivities

Some dogs may react to common proteins, grains, or additives.

Gut-Friendly Nutrients to Look For

Sample Diet Solutions Based on Common Tummy Types


Profile

Food Tip

Active Dog + Loose Stool

High-protein with prebiotics; look for “sensitive stomach” labels

Senior Dog + Low Activity

Lower fat, added fiber, with joint and gut support

Small Breed + Gas or Inconsistent Poop

Nutrient-dense small kibble + gut-soothing herbs

Dog with Food Sensitivities

Limited-ingredient diet with novel protein like fish or duck

When to Consider a Dietary Shift

  • After vet consultation for chronic gut issues

  • If switching life stages (puppy → adult, adult → senior)

  • Seasonal changes or lifestyle updates (less/more activity)

  • Recent signs of GI discomfort or food boredom

What You Can Do Next


Your dog’s digestion is personal. A generic food may not work forever — or at all.
