Why is my dog's stomach making strange gurgling sounds? Is it gas?

Is your dog acting sick or nauseated in any way? Like refusing to eat, drooling excessively or trying to eat grass? If not, then I would not be too concerned. It is normal for the gut to make sounds while digesting the food. If however your dog is acting ill then you may want to post another question with specifics so we can further help you out.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I recommend taking Poli to the vet with a fresh stool sample to rule out intestinal parasites and other health concerns. If negative, I would recommend changing her diet to something less rich. In the US, I recommend Science Diet or Purina One Smartblend. There may be something in her current diet that is affecting her GI tract so she may need something new. Good luck and kisses to Poli!

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Belle. If she is eating, drinking, going to the bathroom normally, and is otherwise fine, no you don't need to bring her into a vet right away. She may just have a rumbly tummy. I'd keep an eye on her for now, and if she does start showing other signs, then I would take her into the vet. I hope this helps!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The aignsyou are describing can be a sign of abdominal pain. This can be associated with a number of conditions from pancreatitis to foreign bodies and requires veterinary attention as soon as possible. If Nina is lethargic or not acting like herself and has other signs like vomiting or diarrhea, she should be seen right away. I hope all is well!

If Blue is not vomiting or having diarrhea, is eating normally, has a normal energy and no abdominal pain I wouldn't be concerned about the noises. You could try adding a probiotic (available at most pet stores and online) to his food to see if this makes a difference and seek veterinary care if he does start vomiting/diarrhea/lethargy/pain.

Hello, thank you for your question about Walter. Based on the symptoms that you are describing I suspect that Walter is experiencing some mild stomach upset or indigestion. Since he is otherwise acting normal I would recommend continuing to monitor him for the next 24 hours. If at any time he develops any vomiting, diarrhea, or lack or appetite I would recommend having him evaluated by your veterinarian. Hope this helps!

It sounds like Cokey may be experiencing some gas, and his stomach could be upset. I recommend trying a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days to see if that helps. If that doesn't help with his gas or he develops other signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, or extreme lethargy, I would take him into the vet. I hope this helps!
