5 ways to improve your dogs gut health.
Number 1 is to add probiotics to your dogs diet.

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria helping to maintain balance in your dogs body and so it’s important that your dog has enough of them to balance the bad bacteria and keep things stable.

If your dogs digestive system is unstable i.e. your dog has a delicate stomach, gas, belching, diarrhea, yeast outbreaks or skin allergies, the first thing to do is introduce your dog to probiotics.

There are many brands available and by far the best one I’ve researched over the years is Pet Ultimates Probiotics for dogs.

For Dogs up to 50lbs: give 1 scoop daily added to food and for Dogs over 50lbs: give 2 scoops daily added to food.

And I’ll leave a link to it in the description above.

NUMBER 2 is to give your dog some bone broth. Your dog may have poor gut health from undigested food particles and toxins entering the bloodstream through tiny holes in the intestinal wall.

The gelatin in Bone broth will boost your dogs health by working to heal the gaps in the gastrointestinal lining.

For our dogs it also has many uses to aid recovery, prevent illness and boost your dogs immune system.

It’s great for healing dogs with digestive issues such as IBD, IBS, Leaky gut or other gut related health issues and packed with vitamins, minerals and gelatin.

And I’ll leave a link to another video on how to make bone broth in the description above, also a ready made bone broth optiona; product link above.

NUMBER 3 is to cut back on medications. Drugs impact gut health and the more your dog gets the worse their gut health will be.

If you do use antibiotics, make sure to give a quality probiotic at the same time and then continue the probiotics.

NSAIDS can even contribute to the condition of leaky gut syndrome so my recommendation for pain control is to use CBD oil which also helps to boost your dogs immune system with many beneficial side effects, link above.

NUMBER 4 is keeping the grains in your dogs diet to a minimum. Grains do lead to inflammation in the gut and this may be a big factor in your dogs gut health issues.

NUMBER 5 leads on from number 4 by adding more variety to your dogs diet. Feeding your dog a kibble only diet every single day for years on end will mean an inflamed gastrointestinal tract and some of the health conditions previously mentioned.

The Healthier Kibble Diet helps kibble feeding dog owners reclaim their dogs gut health, along with other health issues that include allergies, blocked anal glands, diarrhea, yeast infections, ear infections, skin and coat problems, hot spots, arthritis and poor digestion or sensitive tummies.

    I gave brocolli for my dog is it okay?

  7. @risenword747 on August 21, 2025 at 5:15 pm

    Hello Doctor,
    I have a small dog who has several allergies. It started with chicken. Then after flea bites from a neighborhood dog he started getting more allergies. After this, I had not been able to find any meat he could eat. So against what I wanted for him, I got him v dog (vegetarian kibble) he doesn’t like the taste but I would give it to him with snacks like sweet potato, banana, apple, broccoli and he would eat it.
    Then we moved, and in the new neighborhood, now having a smaller yard, and more pets wandering about, he got bit again. This time, he seemed to get itchy with the potatoes, mushrooms, some oils and veggies. I could only give him apples with his food. He had the shakes and I thought maybe anaphylactic shock, so we rushed him to the closest vet. The vet gave him a shot (something for his allergies that was to last near a month) and 500 mg of cephalexin twice daily. He is only 20 lbs. Im thinking this was too much. He was ok the first month, then now, loose stools every day. I held back the apples and the stools seemed to get more solid. I went back, skinned the apples because I found they put shelac on the skin. Still loose stools unless I only give him his kibble. He is not happy with this. Hes only had 2 consecutive days of better stool, im hoping i can keep it that way but his food is so bland even if i maintain this. he is unhappy. I started to contemplate how is it, that only the kibble does not effect him? perhaps because regular foods have bacteria and his stomach is not healed? So now im looking for probiotic. Im leaning toward the soil based four leaf rover since he may have dairy allergies..but I do not know what to do about the bone broth you recommended since he’s had a lot of meat allergies aswell? Do you have any ideas of how to get gelatin otherwise. Also any advice is welcome. Thank you for all your information and expertise. It really helps those of us who do not have a local natural vet nearby

    Excellent suggestions! TY!❤❤❤

    very informative video… you can also try Gut Vet Tablet by planet ayurveda… it s a natural Ayurvedic herbal formula that helps in clearing the gut… It works for all kind of horses, cows and dogs.

  10. @BigPat1133 on August 21, 2025 at 5:18 pm

    I have a yorkshire terrier, thats about 4lbs. The vet thinks she has PLE . We have to take her back to the vet for an IV and more test. Do you recomend the pro biotics and bone broth inthis case as well?

  11. @justkidding9751 on August 21, 2025 at 5:18 pm

    We give our dogs kefir with added D3+K2 3 times a week they also get CBD oil on alternative days. Their diet consits of beef, chicken, cod and hadock and occasionally tined salmon or tuna. All meals are served up with pre cooked basmati rice with added coconut oil and it’s always servrd from the fridge as once rice has been cooked and put in the fridge it no longer becomes a corbohydrate starch based food but becomes feed for the good bacteria without the starch. They also get Coq10 5 times a week as one of the dogs suffers from epilepsy and a mild heart condition, she gets medication for the epilepsy but we didn’t take the vets advice to put her on heart medication as well as i understand too many big pharma drugs can do more damage long term than good so we chose the epilepsy treatment over the heart medication because without epilepsy treatment she will have a fit every day and sometimes upto 3 times a day. She is 8 years old and was born with tooth displacia (no enamel) , when she was six years old we had 28 of her 42 teeth removed because we understand bad teeth can create poor health. Over the last 2 years at least 8 of her teeth have started to grow back and the vet is amazed. I had to explain to the vet that this is all down to the K2 + D3 in her diet as it diverets any excess calcium in the diet to the teeth. Both my wife and I have stopped smoking since 2018 and become vegetarians, and over the last 2 years and I myself started looking into comming off high blood pressure medication and statins for high cholesterol which i take alternative natural remedies and its worked , i was also diagnosed in 2021 with an underactive thyroid and my doctor wanted to put me on medication but I have cured this by taking iodine derived from sea kelp and its worked. I was also diagnosed with a very large benign prostate condition and have also managed to reverse my PSA results using alternative home remedies and now i can urinate with better pressure than I had 20 years ago. I have become a great believer in alternative natural remedies rather than take big pharma drugs that come with nasty side effects. I’ve even managed to reverse my liver spots which i suffered with for the last 4 years. Im 66 and other than a deteriorating spine condition I’m in better physical condition than I’ve been for the last 20 years. I am currently experimenting on myself using alternative healthy no side effects home remedies to hopefully regenarate my spine discs and i think its working because i have gone from a wheelchair to crutches to a walking stick which I only have to use on certain days probably 50% of the time. This has allowed me to get my motorcycle back on the road this summer because I’ve not riden my motorcycle for 10 years because of my spine condition. My doctor’s had me on Tramadol, pregablin and antidepressants ever since my back surgery in 2016 but I no longer take any if them. By the way i replaced my antidepressants with P-5-P or B6 which I would advise anyone to try as it has given me back that positive outlook and a zest for life which is very beneficial. Its heen an absolute learning curve for me and all this research into alternative treatments started with the first lockdown. My first battle was my weight which took me 6 months to get from 20 stone down to a steady 13 stone. Since then i have reserched many things and everything i have done has had a positive effect on my life and my dogs. Happy days.

    Dog “gut health”😂 They have concentrated acid in their digestive tract that can turn bones into jelly. Here are 5 things that contribute to robust bacteria in your dog’s gut.
    1) Cat sh*t
    2) Something dead they find on a walk
    3) meat from the fridge that is going bad
    4)sticks
    5) Another dog’s sh*t

    Hello, thankyou for your great informative videos. We have an 11 year old rottweiler cross akita. In the last year we have noticed he was more prone to upset stomach.
    We have changed to hypoallergenic kibble which has really helped and given him solid stools.
    I put apple cider vinger in his water and also give him a couple drops of oregano oil that you recommended from a previous video.
    Still every now and again he gets loud gurgling stomach in the mornings accompanied by gas later on… can you recommend anything else to help? Im going to order the probiotics you stated aswell

  23. @pattyrodriguez9178 on August 21, 2025 at 5:33 pm

  25. @jillcampbell8019 on August 21, 2025 at 5:35 pm

    Any probiotics? Human ingested too?

  26. @abutterfly7975 on August 21, 2025 at 5:35 pm

    There is no such thing as a healthy kibble diet, because of what is put in it, because of the many recalls from some of the most famous for toxins that are making dogs sick or killing them, and also in the processing and the fact that they add supplements sprayed on or put into that cakey type of biscuit type formula, dogs will not absorb a sprayed on vitamin supplement like they will good food.

    Many people are not aware of what goes in many of the dog foods on the market, it’s all of the garbage on an animal that usually gets thrown out that humans do not want to consume as well as roadkill, sick farm animals, and there has even been dog DNA found in some of the most popular dog foods lately. It’s a fact this is not made up as they have to do tests on pet foods.

    Why would you feed that to your beloved pet and also cost yourself thousands of dollars because you are feeding that.

    Flea and tick treatments vaccinations other medications also cause toxins to be absorbed into our pets systems, which also make them sick. Why do you think we have such arise in cancer and also allergies etc.?

    ok so if you don’t use any kibble what do you suggest for their teeth if you are always feeding soft food

  32. @barbaragillette2031 on August 21, 2025 at 5:43 pm

    I recently discovered Animal Biome. They send you a lab kit to collect and return to them a sample of your pet’s poo which they analyze and then send you a report that is helpful to understand the issue. They also give you a 15 minute telephone consultation. For the difficult cases this service is very helpful.

    But what’s a good kibble?

  41. @Stevey07 on August 21, 2025 at 5:58 pm

    Hello Doctor,

    Thanks for your content! My wife and I have a 14 month old Corgi who has had diarrhea since we got him at 3 months.

    He has a history pancreatitis, has had giardia 2x, and tapeworms even. I feel like nothing we do keeps him healthy.

    He is currently on the royal canine low fat and fortiflora probiotic, and was treated for giardia and the tape worms and his poop’s quality seemed to be improving ( inconsistently he was starting to produce some more solid stools ). and his blood work came back clean. Now he has gone back to constant soft stools, i suspect maybe he is reinfected with giardia again? not sure.

    Also he had clostridium in mid September, and developed a 106 fever and lethargy our vet recommended we do x-ray and ultrasound to see if anything else was going and all is well with his organs (besides mild pancreatitis)

    Anyways, sorry for the lengthy comment. Do you think there’s something more going on here? What can we do to help prevent giardia and tape worms in the future? and what can I do to improve his gut health?

  42. @stacythompson1100 on August 21, 2025 at 5:58 pm

    One of the things I’m learning is never give your dog spicy food.

  43. @mtngrammy6953 on August 21, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    I have been dealing with diarrhea with a dog for close to a year now. Spent lots of money on vets, blood tests, etc. At one point, he lost so much weight that he was down to skin and bones and I thought I might lose him. Before this, he was a picture of health and had beautiful muscles (a very active Border Collie), which he lost and has not yet been able to build back up. I have tried everything including most of the things you listed. At times, I would get good poops and think "Oh, YAY!" Then a day or two or three later, the bad diarrhea was back again. A few times, it would be better for a week or more and he would gain three to five pounds (HOORAY!), only to go back to cow pies or bad diarrhea again. This has been such a strain on me and my pocket book. I am nearly 80 now and have been raising dogs for 60+ years with never a problem so bad as this! I made some bone broth recently (beef) which really knocked him back again. I think he is allergic to beef. I just ordered some of the chicken bone broth which you recommended. He has been on CBD oil, both good pro- and pre-biotics, good kibble, and some other digestive supplements off and on (whatever seemed to work!). I ordered your e-book and am still hopeful that I can get this under control once and for all. (I raised him from the litter and he just turned 8 and is a very remarkable dog!). Thanks for your video.

  44. @Infosana-gj8fl on August 21, 2025 at 6:04 pm

    My dog is 3.6 years old. Ultrasound report is not good can you recommend the best curcumin and dosage for her ? Dog metis 7.5 kg with diagnostics below

    1. Cholangitis – inflammation of the bile ducts
    2. Biliary dyskinesia – abnormal or reduced movement (motility) of the bile ducts or gallbladder
    3. Choledochal ectasia (or Choledochectasia) – dilation (widening) of the common bile duct
    4. Pancreatitis – inflammation of the pancreas
    I need an organic source of curcumin , turmeric im living in London and not all products you recomending can be found in london. Please help asap with remmedies😢
    Im mentioning that my dog after last surgery suffering from esophageal motility disorder and megaesophagus is well . Not everything is recommended for her health .

  47. @Allenmassageguy on August 21, 2025 at 6:06 pm

    I can’t discuss any stomach or gut issues with our vet. They just shrug it off. Don’t even try to ask about anything holistic. Omg so here I am listening to this video. I do probiotics but never added prebiotics. Interesting

  48. @Daddynfhjncftv on August 21, 2025 at 6:07 pm

    My mother’s dog has gone to 4 vets and specialist. Her dog throws up always at night or on a walk yellow bile. He poops yellow bile as well. We have changed the diet to an all natural diet and a food that cost a fortune and nothing helps. He is on probiotics and every vet says he has IBS and no cure. 2 and a half years of this with no hope.

    Hello Dan, i recently changed my dogs food suddenly to Badlands Ranch all natural food. Hes had it before but i ran out and was feeding him his usual home made food. I got a bag if the Badlands food, which i hadn’t given him for 3 weeks and i fed him some, fed my other dog too.Long story short, 2 days later I rushed him to the ER because he could not stand up on his hind legs, his stomach was a bit distended and he was moaning. $1500 dollars later(thank God for credit cards) they sent him home with a probiotic and gabapentin. When we left he was still weak but able to stand and walk a little. His extays and blood work came back normal. They said the believe it may be a neurological problem because he had sensitivity on the right side of his neck. The next day at 3 am i checked him and he couldn’t stand AT ALL. I rushed him back to the ER. $500 later they said he would need to spend the night and they would have Neurology do some mri scans on his brain. To see if he had a tumor or something else. That would run $6000-$8000 dollars! I told them im on social security I cant afford that and besides if they did that and found a tumor, my dogs 16 and i wouldn’t subject him to an operation. Long story short, then take him home snd continue giving him the Omeprazole, hydrocodone and gabapentin for pain. With no hopes of him getting better. Yesterday, i only gave him bone broth, his meds, and some Pedialyte throughout the day. Last night i awoke at 3 am, he was not in his bed. I checked the bathroom and he had a decent bowel movement. He had gotten up and walked to the bathroom and living room and was asleep by his bowl. I gave him some broth and put him to bed. Today, he walked a few times before collapsing from exhaustion. I gave him some of his home made food, pureed. He ate most of it the first time. Later on i gave him some more pureed food, again he ate half. Soon after, stomach was distended, he could not stand and he was moaning. When he did stand and walk he was limping from both rear legs, look more like a hip problem.
    Neurological my B-UTT!
    This a gut thing. Im going to try some of what you’ve suggested here. I haven’t cried this much in years! Im praying my lil Yorkie gets better. I’m also massaging his legs and back.
