If your dog has loose stool, vomiting, or digestive upset, start with the right combination of gut support, hydration, and diet. Below are the most effective remedies used for fast relief, all available in Vancouver, Burnaby and the North Shore for local delivery.
What Should You Use First?
If diarrhea just started → start with pumpkin and bone broth. If acute or recurrings → add probiotics. If pancreatitis → consider digestive enzymes. If vomiting or nausea → add calming support
Probiotics are effective for relieving upset stomach and supporting long-term gut health. They are especially important after antibiotics, ideally given about 2–3 hours later to help restore beneficial bacteria. All products on this page are stocked locally with delivery across Vancouver, Burnaby, and the North Shore.
Great for dog daily use after pancreatitis. Suggested for dogs who, have diabetes or are not gaining weight despite eating a lot.
Hemp oil or CBD can help reduce nausea and calm the digestive system, while bone broth, pumpkin, and slippery elm work together to soothe the gut and help firm loose stools.
This depends on whether the stomach upset is caused by disease/parasites, change in diet or ingesting a non-diet related item like chocolate or medications. You may be trying to fix an issue caused by something else and miss the opportunity to see a vet quickly.
See our dog diarrhea infographic for a quick way to assess if this is a vet emergency or if you can sort it out at home.
Give your pet’s stomach a rest from the normal food it eats for about a day or two. Feed a bland dog food diet for a few days. You could give either bone broth, kefir, pureed whole pumpkin for dog diarrhea. All of these recommended home remedies will help ease upset stomach at the next meal. These are bland diets without fat to ensure that your pet’s diarrhea does not get worse. (Often people use rice as a dog diarrhea home remedy, but it can lead to gassiness and a farty dog as the rice ferments). Also make sure to always provide water to prevent dehydration. Dehydration can trigger nausea in pets. You can add water to your existing pet food, canned pet food to introduce more moisture. In serious situations of dehydration, please visit the vet for IV fluids.

Digestive Enzymes are typically made by your pet’s body (pancreas) or can be found in pet food. Enzymes help digest and use food efficiently and are responsible for a countless number of functions related to the immune system. Without the help of enzymes, your pet will have problems digesting proteins (protease), carbs (amylase), and fats (lipase). When your pet’s body is depleted of enzymes, there is no going back. Note that like most of the other necessary building blocks, enzymes are destroyed by heat.
