Best diet according to this video 1. Cod fish 2.butternut squash 3.fermented milk or keifer 4.filtered water or bone broth not chicken based 5. Slippery elm bark..i have used this and it works...if you dont have this an alternative is ...cook white regular rice...keep the rice water throw out the rice and combine into ingredients above

[@gtRELIC]

Last time I was sick my dog made me some chicken soup. Made me feel much better

[@hammypie]

When my few months old kittens had diarrhea almost everyday for over a month I gave slippery elm bark and it did help somewhat, the chicken/rice/pumpkin didn’t help much. But it never completely stopped until I fed them a raw diet for the first time - it took literally ONE DAY. Diarrhea NEVER came back.

[@hammypie]

I tried reintroducing canned food but the diarrhea always came back. So I only fed raw. And when the new owner adopted them he continued to feed them commercial raw - no diarrhea and poops never smelled!

[@yongli4304]

@@hammypie Interesting the poop never smells. Carnivores poops will smell because of high protein and fat content.

[@VK-qo1gm]

​@@yongli4304My dig it s fed a raw diet, no smell & no health issues as we unfortunately had with our previous dog

[@latyneyez1]

I know with pumpkin, poop doesn't smell harsh, very settle

[@dianafouty857]

Slippery elm is good but can be harsh on the tummy. Marshmallow root works as the elm does. But milder on their tummy, .

[@teeniequeenie8369]

Rice is also super high in arsenic too…not good for anyone! I find some warm water with honey really helps my dogs tummy feel better…

[@cec9187]

Can you provide a recipe with all the measurements for varying dog sizes?

[@fignewton8202]

Very interesting. Boiled chicken, pumpkin and brown rice has always been my go to when the dogs have diarrhea and usually works very fast. But I will try this recipe next time.

[@PawsofPrey]

It is good at firming up loose stool, but it's just not the best at healing the gut which is what also matters!

[@bigdindallas1]

Brown Rice and chicken 🐔 work for my dog 🐕

[@skybear9493]

I'm currently using this one bland diet day 2 so far out of 5-7 days then I'm gonna transition him into the kibble diet

[@skybear9493]

​@@bigdindallas1 do you reply?

[@Hipoporita]

Thank you for another great video! I suggest anyone who is thinking of trying psyllium husks to premix with water (warm water if you want to speed up the process) and let it sit for 30 min or so to completely hydrate before adding to the food or it will clump up inside the digestive system. It soaks up amazing amount of moisture so be super careful!

[@KAdams-dr4pc]

Canned Pumpkin works everytime. EDIT: Everytime !!!!!

[@user-sr9oy1uo4h]

Canned pure pumpkin and sweet potato equal parts works everytime. My girl Zoey is the pickiest eater ever, since mixing both she eats willingly.

[@0425kharvey]

I was doing chicken and rice often for my Vizsla pup who digests food SO fast and can often get upset - I got COD and replaced the chicken with the fish and I just didn’t do rice because it’s in his kibble but he loved the COD & after days of not good tummy stuff going on his next BM was like perfect! I’ll be sticking to COD for belly issues!

[@Iamhapkido]

[@chinothedreamgiver1629]

Are you serious... LOL rabbit!? Yeah let me get some at my supermarket..

[@AmandaCV_]

More and more farmers are growing rabbits for meat, you can try calling a local farmer

[@jeffreykitchens6729]

Pet smart has raw rabbit dog food. Most dog food stores carry it.

[@MsPinkyyy717]

I think the Chinese or other cultural store maybe more appropriate for that.

[@ritupatil9538]

I do agree that pumpkin has high GI, but we also need to consider the carbs and sugar content in pumpkin which is very low compared to white rice. And pumpkin has low GL index. So, even diabetics can eat pumpkin with no issue. So, perhaps we need to reconsider our opinion here on it. What do you think, just my 2 cents on it. Thanks

Also very good for the stomach: ACV + a little ginger😊

[@kellyjohnson3617]

Thank you for stating that chicken is high on the meat allergy list. I’m very allergic to chicken. So many think I’m crazy. I do give my cat chicken but I am constantly switching up her protein. Right now she’s having a fish blend. I’m thawing some venison for her next. My cat has chronic gut issues since I adopted her. But since I switched her to raw food she has improved dramatically. I give her kefir in her breakfast and bone broth with her dinner. And I include a small amount of psyllium among other powdered goodies in every meal, including grasses, kelp, nutritional yeast, etc. she rarely vomits now. Stinky stools and flatulence are practically nonexistent. She doesn’t hate her litter box. She has way too much energy now. And she was in such bad shape with malnutrition when I got her at age 4, the rescue let me have her for the cost of a senior cat instead of an adult cat. But now she acts more like a kitten. It’s been over two years since she’s been on a raw diet and she’s doing really great. Vet is very impressed with her health. Thanks for all your informative posts. They are most helpful

[@PawsofPrey]

This makes me so happy to hear!! :)

[@lisasternenkind6467]

I only give beef broth to my dogs, when they have problems with their guts. The broth lines the gut really good and soothes inflammations. In case of diarrhea, I also add some natural sea salt. If my dog has eaten something toxic prior to his gut problems, I give him charcoal tablets before giving him the broth. Later I give my dogs what we call "Heilerde" in German, and which translates to "healing earth" in English. It also removes toxic waste from the guts, it also reduces inflammation and has healing properties, and it also contains healthy bacteria to support the microbiome. I also give my dogs tea instead of water, a mixture of fennel, anis, cummin. And finally, I give my dogs also white cheese and in addition, I mix in electrolytes together with their white cheese. All my dogs always liked this diet. And I always was successful with this diet. I also give my dogs this diet over three days after they got antibiotics. I add more and more of the boiled meat I made the broth from. The broth I make from bones with marrow and a pretty big slice of a young bull's leg, which also contains a part of the bone mit marrow in it. This makes 2 liters of strengthening broth. I make sure to get the bones and meat from a young bull that lives on a pasture and eats grass and other greenery, as is usual on organic farms.

[@its_iida]

I add some lactose free buttermilk to my cat's morning meal every day. It has acidofilus and bifido bacterium added in. I use it for baking too so it doesn't have time to go bad.

[@garlicbread4792]

Which one do you use?

[@its_iida]

I use Pohjolan Meijeri's version from Lidl. Since I have had to stop giving it regularly as my cat's stomach started not to like it so much anymore. Now he gets to lick the carton clean as a treat everytime I empty one when baking dinner rolls.

[@bayareagrl4ever526]

My dogs don’t like fish, and there is no way they’d touch the vegetables without blending them in with something

[@MsPinkyyy717]

You could blend the vegetables and add it as a stew/sauce for your meat,

[@kakugarita]

I tied this and worked! My 110lb dog has been diarrhea for week or bit longer. I got cod, Butternut squash, bone broth powder, plain kefir, also slippery elm I found at Vitamin shoppe. Next day He did solid poop! Was super yellow by squash tho. (Also,frozen rabbit meat I found at Asian market.) Thank you so much!

What’s the best way to cook the fish ? Or should this be given raw to them and the butternut squash ? Bake or boiled ?

[@eschaefer6512]

Looks good. I don’t have any of those thing readily available though.

[@xiaoqi7485]

I'm so glad you made a video about this. It's really hard to understand how this rice diet could be given to cats since everyone knows they are carnivores... We referred to a hot/cold diarrhea recipe depending on the symptoms for our dog according to a Yin and Yang diet book for dogs. For our kitties, slippery elm bark and feline gut soothe from adored beast always solves the issue. Your recipes provided alternative solutions for us to play with! But definitely hoping they won't need to suffer from GI upsets😅

[@PawsofPrey]

Oh yes I hear that's a great book - it's on my list! I'm glad SEB and Gut Soothe work well

I had a dog that kept losing weight, I thought she might have worms so I dewormed her. It didn’t help so I took her to the vet. She had diabetes and needed insulin injections. She was fine after that but sadly lost her sight due to the diabetes.

[@kroncw]

Hi Mariah, Great informative video. In line with the topic of stomach upset, do you think it'd be a good idea to do a video on how to prevent pets from throwing up due to eating their foods too fast? I know slow feeders can help but they seem to be mostly designed for kibbles. It happened to my cat a couple times today and I'm kinda bummed out about it (˵•ヘ•˵)

[@jeifividnnendnckcod]

So the brand “Sodapup” has a honeycomb slow feeder that is actually designed for raw meat rather than kibble! i would recommend checking it out

[@ProductionsHabby]

I have a question. When you take your animals to the vet, do they tell you you shouldn't be feeding your pets a raw diet? I asked my vet about it, and they basically treated me like an idiot and the only information they gave me was grain free diets cause heart problems for dogs. I really really want to start feeding my dog and cat raw, though, because I want them to be the healthiest they can be. There's obviously debates about these diets, but from what I've seen, it makes alot more sense than feeding them kibble. So I guess I'm wondering how you went about telling your vet about it? It may just be my veterinarian but it's seems the general consensus amongst them is that feeding a raw diet is harmful.

[@petergeraghty4176]

Vets are totally indoctrinated and go through box ticking exercises. Our vet said the bacteria in raw food might be a problem and I was so tempted to say , " well I better tell him he'll have to stop licking his own butt then ! "
