This is a partnered post with Purina. However, I use Purina products and all opinions are my own.
At the end of April my daughter began to complain of stomach issues. We have spent months at the doctor’s office or in the hospital, trying to resolve her issues. It’s been a constant struggle and we’re glad to have a team of doctors who try to accommodate her needs. But, did you know pets can have Gastrointestinal (GI) upset too? It’s a common complaint among owners and a top reason pets visit the vet. GI upset in pets can be caused by a number of things; over eating or under eating, motion sickness (says the person who let their cat ride in the car one day), changes in diet, or more serious reasons.
How can you tell if your pet has GI? He can become sick suddenly, vomit, have excessive thirst and no appetite for food. He could even spend a lot of time burping and have (more than usual) foul breath. He will probably exhibit fatigue and lethargy. If this is a common problem with your pet, Purina has you (and your pet!) covered with their NEW Purina® Pro Plan® Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric Naturals™ With Added Vitamins and Minerals, available in canine and feline formulas. Designed to provide optimal nutrition while meeting your adult dog’s or growing puppy’s special need, these formulas include moderate fat, low fiber, good taste and are highly digestible.
The new Purina® Pro Plan® Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric Naturals™ is only available through your vet, so if your pet has GI symptoms, talk to them about the new formula. If untreated, GI upset can lead to complications such as dehydration, chronic diarrhea and anemia along with weight loss. It is very important to take your pet to the vet if the symptoms persist more than 24 hours.
I plan to try Purina® Pro Plan® Veterinary Diets EN Gastroenteric Naturals™ on our elderly cat who has lost her appetite. I’ll let you know the results soon.
I like the FortiFlora formula
We just went through this with our Shih Tzu. I used an essential oil blend on her and it helped.
I don’t have pets or never have any experience with how they undergo such health issues. Purina Pro Plan sounds like a great option for dogs that suffers with tummy troubles. I will share it with my friend who has dogs at home.
Oh I believe it. I bet they have a lot of the same problems that we have!
Thankfully we have never had health problems with our dogs such as this. I hope it continues that way, we love our fur babies!
I’ll have to share this with some friends. I don’t have any pets and am unaware of their tummy troubles.
Luckily we haven’t run into this problem – YET. I haven’t seen this food around here yet, but I don’t really look so I’ll have to check it out.
I will have to talk to my Vet about this food. My little dogs food has not been agreeing with her lately.
I will have to share this with my Sister. She has two small dogs. It is great there is an option for sensitive tummies.
My cat has tummy troubles alot . Usually from hair balls.
My favorite is DH Dental Health Canine Formula.
One time when the mailman took a little more time than usual stuffing our mail in the mailbox, my dog barked at him for like 10 minutes straight! When night came, my dog fell sick and vomited three times. I took him to the vet and they said it was “stress related.” I will have to try this Purina Gatroenteric Naturals!
I will have to try their DRM Dermatologic Management Canine Formula Purina® Pro Plan® for my older girl. She has some skin issues from time to time and maybe this would be the answer.
Thank goodness my Rufus as not gotten sick with tummy issues. He is such a vibrant dog, I would notice right away
That’s why I don’t have a pet yet, we have been wanting a pet but the vet bills for when they get sick not being able to pay extra for that is one of the reasons we don’t have a pet.
My dog used to have this problem when he was still with us. I wish I’ve known about this back then.
I remember one time when my dog’s stomach was upset. It was terrible and I felt so badly for him.
My favorite is the Purina® Pro Plan® Veterinary Diets DH Dental Health® Feline Formula. I have 2 cats, a 1 year old rescue and a 7 year old rescue, plus my husband has a dog. Would love to win this for them.
It’s stinks having to deal with a sick animals. They’re so innocent!
Looks good. Any food that your pet might eat is worth a try.
This sounds like a great option for dogs with tummy troubles. I will tell my sister about it her dogs are always having issues.
We love Purina Pro Plan. It’s good to know that they offer such a wide selection.
My dog Sally has awful stomach issues, she has to have a special diet (but it awful for picking up things – naughty pooch!) x
This sounds great. It always made me sad when our dogs had upset stomachs.
My parent’s dog had terrible tummy troubles back when he was still with us. This would have been perfect for him.
