Nowadays, pet dogs are appearing more frequently in our lives, and there are many varieties. However, the dogs often fed are relatively well-behaved breeds such as Golden Retrievers and Huskies. For humans, they are considered less aggressive types of pets. But many people think that raising medium or large dogs in the city can be somewhat inconvenient, so some choose smaller dogs to raise. Today, we will talk about the Papillon. If you are not very familiar with pets, the name Papillon may sound a bit unfamiliar. Let me take you to understand why Papillons often have difficulty pooping.

Some owners may believe that since both they and dogs are living beings, diet does not need to be overly particular. But long-term feeding can cause many problems. When the dog cannot poop, it is likely a dietary issue. The food we feed our dogs daily is best to have high liquidity so the dog can digest it more easily. Generally, dogs like to eat meat, and owners often feed dogs the offal of other animals. Eating too much can affect the dog’s health since offal accumulates toxins, which the dog’s body will absorb. After each meal, you can take the dog for a walk together to promote better digestion. Similar to the Papillon, a smaller dog breed, their digestive system is obviously not as good as that of large dogs. It's best for the owner to train more or play games to keep them active.

Water is the source of life, and it is the same for dogs. Owners should encourage their dogs to drink more water regularly so that the dog can defecate daily. In addition to feeding dog food every day, prepare some highly nutritious vegetables as well. Do not feed the same brand of dog food all the time; eating too much may affect the dog’s gastrointestinal tract. Dogs like to eat bones, but do not frequently give them livestock bones because bones are dry food. Eating too many can block the dog’s gastrointestinal tract during excretion, eventually causing constipation.

When the owner and dog are at home, if the dog does not actively go to defecate, the owner can guide the dog proactively. Also, when the dog is defecating, the owner should not disturb it as this will affect normal excretion. When the Papillon is elderly, constipation is more common. Therefore, the owner must pay more attention to the dog’s condition: feed easily digestible food, encourage more exercise and water intake. Over time, the dog’s health will improve.
