Dog treats for sensitive stomachs

Not all treats are the same. Here’s a breakdown of common options for sensitive tummy dog treats:

Tip: If your dog struggles with digestive issues, your vet may recommend digestion-focused supplements tailored to your dog’s individual needs.

Some dogs have a naturally sensitive stomach from birth, while some develop digestive issues over time. It is very important to monitor your dog’s digestive signs and their frequency. If you notice these symptoms regularly, speak to your vet:

• Soft or irregular stools
• Vomiting or flatulence
• Loss of appetite
• Frequent licking or chewing at paws
• Blood in stool
• Signs of itching or skin irritation

Tip: If you’re worried about your dog, it may help to inform yourself about dog digestive problems, but always follow your vet’s recommendations for diagnosis or treatment.

If your dog has dietary sensitivities, sensitive dog treats are often made with limited ingredients and fewer potential irritants that may help. By simplifying what your dog consumes, sensitive treats may reduce the likelihood of digestive discomfort and make reward time safer and more enjoyable.

Signs such as soft stools, excessive gas, vomiting, or a reluctance to eat certain foods may suggest your dog is struggling with digestion. If these issues occur consistently, especially after snacks or treats, it may be worth considering sensitive digestion options. As always, speak to your vet before making any changes to your dog’s diet.

Many sensitive dog treats are developed with input from veterinary nutritionists. For personalised guidance, always check with your vet.

Milk and milk products, wheat, corn, soy, and artificial preservatives are generally avoided in sensitive stomach treats for dogs.
