Dog shivering / stomach gurgling

I’d recommend checking out a survey site, where you can easily exchange points for cash.

I see what you mean, the grain content is definitely too high. It's a bit like with us humans—too many carbs aren't good! ^^

Thanks for your feedback, it’s always useful to get a second opinion.

The little girl I had before Tina had a gurgly tummy for most of her life; she would put herself on a fast and it would usually clear up by the next day. If it didn't, it was straight to the vet.

Tina hasn't had that issue since she was a pup, but I keep a close eye on her now because Jack Russells are prone to digestive problems.

Next time your dog has a flare-up, you could take them to a different vet to get a second opinion.

Sometimes it’s worth asking for a blood test, too.

Friskies is a brand of dry food that isn't very easy for dogs to digest because it's almost entirely made of cereals.

Thank you for the replies, that's very kind.

So, I don't need to worry or go back to the vet then?

Regarding the transition for the dry food, if I go with the recommended brand, do you have a specific process for switching from one brand to another?

Thanks

The best thing for your dog would be the BARF diet.

This is a natural raw diet.

It’s made up of raw meat, raw meaty bones, raw offal, raw fruit and veg, and oils or other natural supplements.

Friskies is a really poor quality brand; if you want to stick with dry food, I’d recommend Orijen, which you can find on Zooplus, or Power of Nature Meadowland Mix, which is available from a German site.

You should give them some Phosphaluvet (a gastric gel) for three days.

My dog regularly eats grass, specifically cat grass, and my vet told me it’s probably because she has an upset stomach. He suggested giving her regular courses of Phosphaluvet to help. In his opinion, she’s just prone to having a sensitive stomach quite often.

That said, my vet didn't ask me to change her food, but she is already on Orijen.
