Thinking of feeding my dog bone broth. Is it safe or risky?

Typically making bone broth and adding it to the food is not something I recommend doing. The broth can be high in fats that will cause gastrointestinal upset to a dog. This might be vomiting and diarrhea. Also high fat foods can cause pancreatitis in dogs. I would recommend staying with his regular dog food. Hope that helps

My dog hasn't eaten in 2 days and is lethargic. What's wrong?

Hello, sorry to hear about Brutus. A decreased appetite and lethargy are non-specific sings that something is not well. This could be anything from an infection to a mass. This could also be temporary and resolve on its own within the next 2-3 days, however, the ideal next step is to have him evaluated by his veterinarian. They will likely require to obtain some bloodwork and x-rays or and abdominal ultrasound. In the interim, you may feed him a bland diet of plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken, and low fat cottage cheese. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Why does my dog have dry, flaky skin and patches of hair loss?

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. Brutus could be suffering from a skin allergy or other primary skin condition such as seborrheic dermatitis. I would recommend the below following products, which can all be found online quite easily. I would use these for at least 4-6 weeks before considering something else. This could potentially be related to the diet as well. If there is no improvement with the products below, I would recommend a diet trial with one of the foods listed below as well. These foods will require a prescription so you will need to discuss them with your veterinarian. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Douxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved then every other week for maintenance 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the affected area 2-3 times per day until resolved 3. Krillex shed free chews 4. Essenti

My picky dog needs broth. Are chicken broth cubes safe for him?

The problem with bouillon cubes is that they are VERY high in sodium. 1 cube has almost the recommended amount of sodium for a human for an entire day! So, I think you are going to have to find another option long term. There are a number of companies that are making "gravies" to put over dog foods. There are also companies that are making "toppers" to add to food. I would recommend going to your local pet food store to see what they carry and trying a couple of options to see what Epic prefers. You may also consider changing foods or adding something like a dehydrated dog food to his diet (like The Honest Kitchen) in case he needs a little variety. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My dog has diarrhea after eating a bone. Can I use human probiotics?

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Poor Nino! I like probiotics formulated for dogs. My favorite is Purina Fortiflora. If the diarrhea doesn't improve in a couple of days on a probiotic I recommend that you take Nino to the Vet. They can start him on an antibiotic to help! https://www.chewy.com/purina-pro-plan-veterinary-diets/dp/50029?utm_source=google-product
