Your Questions Answered - Week 2 - Diarrhea v. Constipation

What Evanger’s product should be recommended if your pet has diarrhea vs. constipation: This is something every pet sale’s person needs to know because some pets have a tendency to either eliminate too much water and others do not eliminate enough because they suffer from dehydration, a kidney problem or a large bowel problem. The end result is stool that is too soft and watery or too hard and dry, and both conditions could be painful for the pet. If a customer has a pet that tends to have diarrhea or constipation more often than normal stool, a veterinary check up is the first step to rule out a disease.

If the vet gives the pet a clean bill of health then the diet needs to be changed to a blander, more constipating one for a diarrhea problem or a higher fat content, more fiber and more water diet for a constipation problem. Any of the Evanger’s diets that have rice in them will help with a soft stool problem. The Lamb and Rice Dinner for example is a gentle diet for the gut. Feeding dry food will also help firm up the stool. If a pet has a stool that is too firm and dry, adding water to an exclusively canned diet can help. Look for a diet that has a higher fat content in it and maybe more fiber like combining the vegetarian can with pure pheasant meat; the combination of more fiber from the vegetarian diet together with more fat from the pheasant diet can help soften the stool up.
