Puppy has diarrhoea: this may be the reason
It very often happens that a puppy suddenly has diarrhoea immediately after moving in. Many owners suspect in this situation that the little quadruped does not tolerate his puppy food and therefore try to change the food.
But unfortunately, this usually does not bring success and can partly even intensify problems with the digestion of the small quadruped. This is simply because in most cases there are no intolerances and the food is therefore not responsible for the puppy's diarrhoea.
What is the real cause of diarrhoea in puppies and what you can do about it is explained below
Appropriate food for puppies
Of course, it is essential to pay the necessary attention to the quality of the food for the healthy development of a puppy. A good puppy food must have an age-appropriate composition and be easily-digestible. In this context, make sure that the feed of your choice does not contain cereals and sugar or artificial additives.
A puppy food where you can rely on all this is, for example, Bellfor Wiesen-Schmaus (Meadow Feast) Junior. This tasty dry food is characterised by its high content of fresh chicken meat and also has freshly harvested potatoes in it as a digestible source of carbohydrates.
Also, Meadow Feast Junior from Bellfor is particularly easy to eat for puppies and growing dogs, thanks to the soft consistency of the croquettes.
Stress-related diarrhoea in puppies
As much as you may be happy about your new family member, you should not forget that the move will be very stressful for your puppy. After all, the little four-legged friend first has to find his way around in a foreign environment and also has to cope with the separation from his mother and his siblings.
As the immune system in young dogs is not yet fully developed, the stress associated with moving can easily lead to a weakening of the puppy's defences and thus also ensure that the puppy has diarrhoea or suffers from loss of appetite, for example.
Take your time to get used to it
To avoid problems such as diarrhoea in your puppy, you must make it as easy as possible for him to settle in. It is, therefore, best to take some time off from work so that you have enough time for your new roommate during the first few weeks.
In addition to regular stroking sessions, you should also make sure to establish fixed daily routines. This makes it much easier for your puppy to find their way around and get used to his new surroundings.
Diarrhoea in puppies and the change of food
In order not to stress your little quadruped additionally and not to strain his sensitive digestive system unnecessarily, you should refrain from changing food immediately after moving in. This can also lead to your puppy getting diarrhoea or existing digestive problems becoming even worse.
Therefore you should continue to use the food your puppy knows from the breeder and only change the food after your puppy has settled in a bit, by mixing the new puppy food gradually into the old food.
Strong defences against diarrhoea in puppies
To reduce the likelihood of diarrhoea in your puppy, or to counteract existing complaints, it can be useful to support the young dog's immune system with a suitable food supplement such as Bellfor Immun.
Bellfor Immun is a purely natural preparation that provides your puppy with important nutrients and can thus make a valuable contribution to strengthening his defences.
The carefully balanced composition of natural ingredients such as propolis, insect protein and herbs is easily digestible and is ideal for gently supporting your puppy in their stressful situation after moving in.
Diarrhoea in puppies - our conclusion
As you can see, diarrhoea in puppies often has to do with stress. A change of food is therefore usually not suitable to counteract the problems with digestion. Instead, try to be there for your little four-legged friend and to make the acclimatisation phase as pleasant as possible for them.
In addition, a dietary supplement with Bellfor Immune can help to strengthen the immune system and in many cases make complaints such as diarrhoea in your puppy disappear.
If this does not work, however, you should contact a vet as soon as possible, as diarrhoea in puppies can also be caused by a disease and can also have serious consequences, such as dehydration.
