Everyone knows that for dogs we raise at home, the stomach and intestines are very fragile. If the daily diet is not suitable for the dog, it will cause adverse symptoms, such as the dog retching and not eating. So what exactly causes a dog to retch and refuse food? Today the editor will answer this question for everyone.

Generally speaking, the main reason why a dog retches and refuses to eat is because of indigestion. When a dog has indigestion, gas will build up in the stomach, causing retching. Because the dog feels discomfort in its digestive system, it will lose its appetite. In this case, we should first give the dog digestive tablets. However, when giving digestive tablets to dogs, we should not use those intended for humans but rather those made specifically for dogs. Using human digestive tablets on dogs may harm the dog's health. Not only will it fail to treat the condition, but it may also cause other abnormal issues.

In daily life, we should also avoid causing indigestion in dogs, so we must be careful about their diet. When feeding dogs, do not give too much food at once nor too little. The dog food chosen should be ecological or natural dog food, and it is best to keep the dog at around seventy to eighty percent fullness. Also, try not to feed dogs human food. When a dog has indigestion, we can feed it easily digestible foods, such as millet porridge.

Finally, taking the dog for moderate exercise is an effective way to prevent indigestion. So after feeding the dog, take it for a half-hour walk to help digestion. Exercising not only promotes digestion but also improves the dog’s immunity. Moreover, dogs will feel happy during exercise. However, the exercise time should not be too long; try to control it between half an hour and one hour.
