Bland diet

Is pumpkin puree part of a bland diet for dogs with loose stools?

 

Thank you!! 

Re: Bland diet

  • It can be since it has a high fiber content. We often suggest canned pumpkin to help with loose stools. Plain greek yogurt can also be helpful since it has probiotics to help put good bacteria back in the stomach. Boiled hamburger and rice is also a good choice. Boil the hamburger to get the fat off and over cook the rice to make it sticky.

  • Thanks, I will hold off on the pumpkin for now. I am doing a mix of boiled chicken, rice and traditional yogurt, I thought the [additional hydration and lower protein (referring to the yogurt]would be better on the GI tract. I sprinkle on dog probiotic/digestive emyzeme. Thanks again
  • Do you know what's causing the loose stools?

    The vet has ruled out most of the serious dangers and it treating it with meds and a bland diet for GI rest.  Our puppy is not aware of the fact she is 'sick'.
