Diarrhea and vomiting in dogs are among the most common digestive problems. These are often acute disorders of absorption in the small intestine, where fluids and nutrients can no longer be adequately absorbed. Targeted, easily digestible nutrition can help to relieve the gut and maintain stable nutrient supply.

The goal of nutrition for acute intestinal malabsorption disorders is to provide the dog with readily available energy, balance fluid and electrolyte losses, and be gentle on digestion.

Symptoms of Acute Malabsorption in Dogs

The symptoms of diarrhea and vomiting can vary widely. Typical signs include:

• Watery, frequent, or mushy stools
• Vomiting, nausea
• Loss of appetite
• Weakness, lethargy
• Weight loss with prolonged course
• Fluid loss and dehydration

Important: In case of persistent symptoms, a veterinary examination should always be carried out to diagnose the cause and tailor the therapy accordingly.

Feeding Recommendations for Diarrhea and Vomiting

Acute malabsorption disorders of the gut, such as diarrhea and vomiting, can be triggered in dogs by various causes such as infections, food intolerances, or chronic diseases like IBD (IBD / Inflammatory Bowel Disease). Adapted, easily digestible nutrition can help to relieve the weakened digestive tract and support nutrient absorption. A dog food for acute digestive problems should have the following nutritional characteristics:

• Easily digestible raw materials: specially processed, highly digestible raw materials (possibly through thermal or mechanical treatment) to facilitate nutrient absorption.
• High nutrient digestibility: with low fiber content (crude fiber ≤ 44 g/kg, 12% moisture): crude protein ≥ 85%, crude fat ≥ 90%.
• For higher fiber content: crude protein ≥ 80%, crude fat ≥ 80%.
• Increased electrolyte content: sodium ≥ 1.8 g/kg and potassium ≥ 5 g/kg (based on 12% moisture content).
• Easily digestible carbohydrates: ≥ 32% as a rapidly available energy source.
