Dogs with constipation Harm

The long-term retention of stool in the intestine will continuously release toxic gas toxins to damage the intestinal environment, resulting in gastrointestinal dysfunction and endocrine imbalance. It will also delay the metabolic cycle, causing poor appetite and sleep in dogs and cats.

Dogs who suffer from constipation for a long time will have poor temper, loose skin, dull and slippery fur, and frequent farts. If you already have diseases, constipation will further aggravate problems such as high blood pressure and coronary heart disease.

If your dog has severe constipation, please send it to a regular pet hospital for examination and treatment in time. Surgery may be necessary to remove hardened poop if necessary.
