You can take some simple steps to manage a sensitive gut and keep your dog healthy. Always remember that:
- Your dog can have treats: choose our dog treats for sensitive stomachs, full of essential nutrients
- An upset stomach could indicate an underlying condition: whether it is allergies or IBS, our food can cater to these illnesses
- You should speak to your vet: your vet has the critical knowledge to recommend a diet that manages these conditions
Ingredients to Avoid
You can work with their sensitive tummy and prevent illness by monitoring your dog’s food. Avoid:
- Raw ingredients
- Artificial flavourings and preservatives
- Fillers
- Garlic
- Onion
- Pork
- Dyes
- Wheat
Our grain-free food is ideal for avoiding raw ingredients, wheat and pork and providing critical protein, fibre and vitamins.
Foods Safe for Sensitive Dog Tummies

- Cooked salmon
- Carrots
- Broccoli
- Cucumber
- Sweet Potato
- Peas
- Pumpkin
We include many of these ingredients in our sensitive stomach dog food to supplement diets with additional nutrients that boost your dog’s health.
Does an Upset Stomach Indicate a Health Condition?
Unfortunately, an upset stomach can indicate underlying health conditions impacting digestion. Your dog may suffer from:
Pancreatitis
If your dog’s pancreas becomes swollen, they will suffer from abdominal pain and digestive issues. It typically results in constipation and diarrhoea.
Inflammatory Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
When your dog suffers from IBS, their intestines become inflamed and irritated, partially inhibiting the absorption of nutrients into the body.
Kidney Disease
Kidney disease causes nausea and vomiting and needs to be identified and treated.
Allergies and Intolerances
Food allergies are one of the leading causes of upset stomachs, diarrhoea, vomiting and constipation. Typically, your dog will suffer from an allergy to one specific protein and allergies to beef, chicken, lamb, dairy and wheat are common throughout the species. With our insect protein food, your dog receives all the protein they need without risking an allergic reaction.
Stress
As with humans, stress impacts your dog’s health. If their routine changes regularly, it can upset their gut.
Identifying Health Conditions
If your dog repeatedly suffers from an upset stomach, you should take them to a vet for thorough testing. These health examinations will identify any conditions impacting their digestive system so that you can treat them appropriately.
Symptoms of an Upset Stomach
An upset stomach can cause several symptoms. If they persist, you should visit a vet for thorough testing. Look out for the following:
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Vomiting
- Drooling
- Loss of appetite
- Eating grass
- Flatulence
- Gurgling stomach
Which Breeds are Susceptible to Sensitive Stomachs?
Whilst no breeds are more susceptible to upset stomachs, some are more likely to suffer from diarrhoea. They include:
- Maltese
- Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
- Bichon Frisé
- Miniature Schnauzers
- Poodles
- Dachshunds
- Yorkies
- Shetland Sheepdogs
- Miniature Pinschers
If you have one of these breeds, our dog food for sensitive stomachs is ideal. It provides all the necessary nutrients whilst managing their sensitivity.
FAQ
What will my vet recommend for my dog’s sensitive stomach?
To manage a sensitive stomach, you should offer your dog a balanced diet, get them to drink plenty of water and lower their stress levels. Don’t forget that every case is different: your dog may have intolerances or illnesses. Your vet will run specific tests and create a bespoke plan.
How can I measure a food’s digestibility?
Always pay attention to your dog’s stools to note any changes. Once you understand what normal looks like, you can identify abnormalities that could indicate allergies or less digestible foods.
Is my dog’s upset stomach an emergency?
An upset stomach can indicate a need for urgent veterinary assistance. If your dog is constantly vomiting, suffers from dehydration, fever or lethargy, or produces bloody or tarry stools, you must take them to a vet immediately.
