i have a maltese who i have rescued and he doesn’t have the best digestive system in the world.
he gets either constipation or indigestion or worst i think constipation as it hurts him to pass what ever is blocking him.
the vet has given me some wet food he eats that is high in fiber and she has recommended that he continues to eat high fiber wet and dry food.
now can someone name me some dog food that are very high in fiber. i know there are some with 1.5 which is the apparently the maxium so should i get those or are there some that go even higher?
thanks!!
Canned Pumpkin is a great way to add fiber-pumpkin-not pie filling- Also another brand of food to check out is life’s abundance high fiber-great nutrients-reputable company.
I feed my japanese chin this food and they love it and their tummys are fine.This food has whole brown rice that provides great fiber but is gentle on their stomachs-natural bacteria cultures to promote healthy digestive tract as well as lots of other good ingredients. Go to my source and take a look at this food and it’s ingredients. My dogs love it .
Hi Jess, easier would be to add some mineral or cod oil to his foods …they can have up to 4 T. a day…I’d start out slo & work up to 4 Tablespoons tho, 1 T one day 2 the next & so on or it might make him go too well if you don’t …Take Care :)
I just checked the dog food site of the food I feed my dogs.
It’s Canidae all life stages Chicken and rice. It has 4.00% crude fiber. Maybe take a look on their web site your self and check this food out.
Just get some pure pumpkin in a can not the pie mix one just plain pure pumpkin. About a tablespoon of that and a bit of yogurt and he should be fine,,, Good luck;^)
High fiber hardens the poop. I had a Great Dane with colitis, and he was on a high fiber diet for it.
Most weight control diets are higher in fiber the regular formulas. It’s done because overweight dogs usually have slower metabolisms. They need the extra fiber to clear their systems. There are also supplemennts that are high in fiber and can be added to your dog’s diet. The Missing Link is one of them. Any premium food wet or dry that is formulated for weight loss and control will help. Just watch that the dog doesn’t lose weight. Vitamins will help with that. Aslo watch the dogs bloodsugar level. Good Luck
Have you checked Hills Science diet R/D?
