Low-level digestive disorders in our dog friends can be relieved with natural tips. Here are remedies from animal naturopathy for vomiting, motion sickness, mild diarrhea and constipation.
Vomissement chez le chien
Gastrites are common in dogs. They are often related to improper feeding. However, other causes can cause vomiting such as ingesting an object or anxiety.
Infrequent vomiting (1 to 4 times a month) should not raise an alarm. This may be due to your dog having swallowed grass and purging.
On the other hand, beyond the aforementioned frequency, vomiting in an adult dog may reflect other disorders such as gastrointestinal or anxiety.
Once your veterinarian confirms the emotional origin of your dog's vomiting, you can turn to alternative and natural solutions.
Pets are real emotional "sponges" and they pick up absolutely everything.
If you are anxious by nature, he will be too. If you are calm and collected, it will affect his behavior. So when you want to treat your dog for anxiety-induced vomiting, consider doing a little work on yourself as well!
Here are the natural remedies to help your dog find peace of mind:
Melissa: in infusion, extract or hydrolate: antispasmodic, relaxing, digestive calming. In infusion: 1 to 2 g of dried plant per 10kg of weight in 100ml of water.
Fig tree bud : acts on the mucous membrane of the stomach while acting on the nervous system. Glycerine macerate D1: 1 drop per Kg // concentrated glycerine macerate 1 drop for 5 to 10kg

How do you give it to him? Either directly in the dish if you feed him with BARF or with a pipette.
