With the increase of age, the physical function of aged dogs gradually declines, and the digestive system is also weakened, which is prone to gastrointestinal problems. In view of the gastrointestinal problems of elderly dogs, when we feed these elderly dogs, we can pay attention to diet according to the following aspects to achieve the purpose of health care.

1, low fat

The gastrointestinal metabolic ability of aged dogs is reduced, and the food dominated by fat is too greasy, which is easy to cause diarrhea or indigestion in aged dogs. Therefore, when feeding old dogs, the owner can choose low-fat food to ensure the dog's digestion and absorption ability, thus reducing the stomach load. In addition to low-fat dog food, beef brisket, chicken breast and lean beef are also better choices.

2. High fiber

The old dog has a bad stomach, which is mainly caused by slow intestinal peristalsis. At this time, properly supplementing high-fiber food is helpful to the gastrointestinal health of elderly dogs. For example, a large number of fruits and vegetables, such as carrots, tomatoes, apples, pumpkins and so on. , rich in pectin, fiber and other substances, can effectively accelerate intestinal peristalsis and help elderly dogs excrete. In addition, proper addition of onion, garlic and other ingredients also has a certain protective effect.

3, easy to digest

Because the old dog's digestive ability decreases, feeding food that is too difficult to digest is also easy to cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, when we feed old dogs, we should choose some foods that are easy to digest in the stomach. For example, rice, chicken, lean meat, eggs and fish are all digestible foods. You can add some water to boil these foods, and homemade chicken soup and vegetable soup are also good choices.

4. Eat more and eat less

For elderly dogs, a big meal can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, when feeding elderly dogs, we can adopt a feeding method of eating more meals and less food. Feeding the daily food intake to the aged dogs 3-4 times is not only beneficial to the digestion and absorption of the aged dogs, but also can reduce the load on the stomach. At the same time, it is also necessary to increase the drinking water of elderly dogs, which can help to excrete toxins and wastes from the body.

To sum up, when the old dog has a bad stomach, it can choose low-fat and high-fiber digestible food, and pay attention to the feeding methods of multiple meals and small amounts. This can not only reduce the load on the stomach of elderly dogs, but also ensure their balanced intake of nutrition.
