Dog Vomiting And Diarrhea From Eating Raw Diets

We have all experienced our animals having diarrhea or vomiting and it is not a pleasant experience for both our pets and us pet parents. Carnivores in general readily vomit food and most pets have suffered from an occasional bout of diarrhea. Depending on whether or not the occurrences are severe or frequent, there is really no need for immediate concern.

Allergies can play a part in the occurrence of diarrhea or vomiting. In Chinese medicine it is  recommended that a cooler protein such as turkey or lamb can cool off the G.I. tract. Feeding beef or chicken should be temporarily switched to the cooler protein diets to calm and relieve the digestive system. Another cause of tummy upset could be that the intestinal microbes are slow to adapt to a natural raw food diet. In cases like this I always recommend the use of our E-BARF PLUS Supplement to help regulate the intestinal flora. Diarrhea commonly occurs in dogs and cats. If the problem persists, or if the stool becomes bloody then an alternative food source must be found.

An additional cause of diarrhea could develop from the ingestion of potentially harmful bacteria such as Salmonella or Campylobacter. These common bacterias commonly affect both dogs and cats. The good news is all of our diets go through an HPP process. This is a cold press process that removes all of the bad bacteria but doesn’t kill the good living enzymes (Click here to learn more about HPP). 

Typically animals are free of any signs of disease or illness, but may suffer from diarrhea. In contrast to humans, exposure to these bacterias can lead to acute diarrhea and even death. The reason for the difference in how it affects each species is due to the acid barrier in the stomach of carnivores. The stomach acids provide adequate protection against food-borne pathogens for the immunologically competent dog or cat.

Cooking the meat would reduce the potential risk to a negligible level. Cooking thus becomes a decision based on risk vs reward.
