My dog has a noisy, gurgling stomach but seems otherwise fine.

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | 160 lbs

Hi! Our pup has had what we would describe as an upset stomach, it sounds like a war zone with the noises that are coming from it. We've noticed he's only eating once a day but has stayed hydrated and no diarrhea, his bow movements are normal and he seems to have the same activity level, it just sounds like his stomach is upset.

You can try a bland meal or two of boiled rice and chicken to see if it helps settle Benji's stomach if it's due to minor GI upset. If the gurgling continues, or you see other issues such as vomiting or diarrhea, it could indicate something else such as internal parasites, underlying illness, food allergies, etc, which should be checked out by a vet. Bringing in a stool sample along with Benji to the vet can help rule out the more common causes of stomach upset.
