From diarrhea to appetite

cats. Here are some
natural remedies that ease
symptoms and help heal
the digestive tract.
FOR YOUR DOG OR CAT’S GUT PROBLEMS
D gs
Cats
Gastrointestinal upset, chronic reflux or diarrhea,
bloody stools, and inflammatory bowel disease. These
are some of the most common gut health problems
seen in veterinary offices and on social media sites for
dog and cat care. Unfortunately, many animals suffer
for months or years with chronic problems while their
caregivers become more and more frustrated with
the lack of solutions. Whether your dog or cat has
occasional or ongoing issues, many natural remedies
can help heal his gut and decrease symptoms.
SIGNS OF GUT PROBLEMS
The gut partners with the immune system. When the
gut is unhealthy, the immune system cannot function
properly. More obvious signs of gut health disturbance
can include loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, bloody
or mucoid stools, and weight loss.
What may be harder to diagnose is leaky gut syndrome.
This problem occurs when the cells lining the digestive
tract become inflamed and swollen. When these cells
swell, the junctions between them open, allowing particles
of undigested food, infectious organisms, chemicals, and
toxins to enter the bloodstream from the bowels. This can
lead to allergies, chronic ear infections, food sensitivities,
autoimmune disease, behavior disorders, and chronic
inflammation throughout the body.
Fortunately, there are many things you can do to
start repairing and rebuilding your dog or cat’s gut to
improve his overall health.

NEED TO KNOW
Most bad breath in
dogs is caused by
periodontal disease
— but that’s not
always the case.
Here’s a look at the
other causes, along
with some holistic
remedies for
chronic bad breath.
By Laurie Riihimaki
et’s face it, dog breath is not always
pleasant. While bad odors are
often caused by periodontal disease,
that’s not the only potential reason for
stinky breath. Other causes range from
diet to kidney disease to tumors, so
it’s important to notice any changes in
your dog’s breath, and have him or her
checked over by a veterinarian as soon
as possible.
WHAT CAN CAUSE BAD
BREATH IN DOGS?
Most dog parents think that bad breath
correlates to a dental issue such as
gingivitis, which is caused by the growth
of plaque from germs and food fragments
caught in the dog’s mouth and teeth.
This is certainly a very common problem
among canines, and definitely warrants
veterinary attention. However, don’t just
assume that your dog’s breath odor is
coming from a dirty mouth.
Diet
According to veterinarian Dr. Laura
Robinson, diet is one of the biggest factors
when it comes to foul-smelling breath
in dogs. Poor quality food is more likely
to lead not just to periodontal disease,
but also to bad breath on its own. For
example, a food containing fish-based
meals can cause a strong mouth odor.
Also, if a dog eats something his body
is not familiar with, or has a hard time
digesting, bad breath can result. More
obvious causes of bad breath is when the
dog ingests something he is not supposed
to eat such as feces or garbage — luckily,
that kind of bad breath is only temporary!
Anal gland disease
Dr. Robinson adds that other not-so-
obvious factors could be responsible
for the foul odor coming out of your
dog’s mouth. One of these is anal
gland disease. “While it may seem
absurd that
a condition
affecting a
dog’s bottom
end can
influence his
breath, it is
indeed the
case,” she
says. “Those
with impacted
or infected
anal glands
will often lick
the area in an
attempt to get
relief from the
discomfort.
This will inevitably lead to some bad-
smelling breath.”
Diabetes
If the scent wafting out of your dog’s
mouth is overly sweet, it can be a sign of
diabetic ketoacidosis, a life-threatening
complication of diabetes mellitus. It can
be triggered by a stress event such as an
infection, surgery, or heart problem. It
occurs when the body begins breaking
down fat at a rate that’s too rapid for
the rest of the body to keep up with.
This triggers the liver to process the fat
into a form of fuel called ketones. This
Different dog breeds have different face shapes and sizes, and
that can affect their susceptibility to developing bad breath.
“Short-nosed dogs tend to have more issues, as the sinuses
are often inflamed and overworked trying to blow off heat
and so forth,” says veterinarian Dr. Mark Newkirk. “The mucus
drains into the mouth, and can carry infected bacteria.
“Dogs that have allergies and lick their skin excessively often
have mouth odor,” he adds.
Additionally, older dogs are highly susceptible to bad breath
because they are more likely to have ongoing or chronic health
issues like the ones mentioned in the article.
