So, what to feed a raw-fed dog with diarrhea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember asking myself this question after I transitioned my Boxer mixes Missy and Buzz from kibble to raw dog food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first option that came to mind was boiled chicken<\/a> and rice along with FortiFlora. You know, that bagged probiotic by Purina that traditional vets love to prescribe for dogs with acute diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n

The thing is though, as a raw feeder, I\u2019m neither a huge fan of boiled chicken and rice nor of FortiFlora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QUICK RECOMMENDATION:<\/strong> An alternative to FortiFlora that we’ve used is Native Pet Probiotic for Dogs<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly enough, I came to prefer something else over both options even before the pups started eating raw dog food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was when Buzz had a nasty case of diarrhea and I had tried both chicken & rice<\/a> and FortiFlora as they came recommended by our traditional vet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But neither worked, so after almost a week of ongoing diarrhea, I browsed the internet for other solutions for dogs with diarrhea and found one that made a huge difference after just 12 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll share what that \u201cmagic potion\u201d was, why I continue to rely on it for raw-fed dogs with diarrhea, and what else works really well too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can Cause Acute Diarrhea In Raw-Fed Dogs?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

But first, let\u2019s take a look at what can cause acute diarrhea in raw-fed dogs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides getting into the trash and eating poop from sick animals such as other dogs, cats, cows or horses, common culprits are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeding too much secreting organs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Too many secreting organs at once and not enough raw meaty bone will almost inevitably cause diarrhea in raw-fed dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for anyone making their own raw meals, it\u2019s important to understand the different components of raw dog food, as well as how much of each to feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For adult dogs, you\u2019ll want to divvy up their daily raw dog food allowance as follows :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
