When your dog faces diarrhea, it can be concerning for both of you. A bland diet, such as boiled chicken and rice, is often the best choice to ease their stomach while ensuring they get the necessary nutrients.

Fasting for 12-24 hours can help give their digestive system a chance to recover, so knowing what to offer afterward is key to getting them back to normal.

Bone Broth and Goat’s Milk

Bone broth and goat’s milk can be soothing options for your dog during diarrhea and fasting.

Bone broth provides hydration and essential nutrients while being gentle on the stomach. Goat’s milk offers probiotics that support gut health and digestion.

Both are easy to digest and help restore balance to your dog’s system. Start with small amounts and ensure they’re plain and unsweetened.

These options can aid recovery while preparing your dog for a gradual return to regular meals.

Boiled Pumpkin and Egg Whites

A mixture of boiled pumpkin and egg whites is gentle and nourishing for dogs recovering from diarrhea.

Use two parts plain boiled pumpkin for its fiber to soothe digestion and one part boiled egg whites for easily digestible protein.

This combination supports gut recovery while being light on the stomach. Start with small portions and gradually reintroduce regular food as your dog improves.

Plain Turkey Meal

When your dog has diarrhea, adding plain turkey to their diet can be helpful. It is a lean protein source and easy to digest.

You can mix plain, ground turkey with pureed pumpkin, bone meal, and slippery elm. Start with a small portion to see how your dog’s digestive system reacts. It’s a gentle way to provide nourishment without upsetting their stomach further.
