What to know about dog diarrhea and treatment

Learn more about dog stomach troubles and what to do about it.

When should I be concerned about my dog’s diarrhea?

If your dog’s diarrhea doesn’t resolve quickly (within a day or two), it may be caused by an underlying condition that needs professional medical treatment. When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to reach out to your vet or schedule an online vet appointment. Even if the cause seems minor, such as ingesting old food from outside, getting a professional opinion is always worthwhile.

What do you give a dog for diarrhea?

It’s smart to talk to a vet before giving your dog anything for diarrhea. Your dog may become dehydrated from diarrhea, so plenty of water should be available to them. A bland diet can be offered while you’re waiting for your vet visit.

How long does dog diarrhea last?

The duration of dog diarrhea depends on the cause. If your dog has an allergy or intolerance to a protein in their food and you keep feeding them that food, then the dog diarrhea may never go away. However, if your dog simply has an upset stomach due to a stressful event (such as a thunderstorm) this may resolve within hours or days.

If your dog’s diarrhea persists for multiple days, it may be a sign of something more serious. At that point, scheduling a visit with one of our online vets is a good idea.

How can Dutch help?

If your dog is dealing with gastrointestinal issues, we’re here to help. One of our licensed vets can consult with you over video to evaluate your dog’s upset stomach and determine the next steps, which may include prescribing medication that we ship to you at no cost or recommending you go to an in-person veterinarian, if needed.

Frequently asked questions

What is a visit with Dutch like?

When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.

During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.

After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.

Who is Dutch for?

Dutch is for dog and cat owners wanting a more cost effective and timely way to handle common pet issues. We eliminate the unnecessary vet visit as well as the stress related to getting your pet to the vet. The Dutch experience is designed to connect you with a vet via video call for general advice and recommended OTC product offerings. In certain states, vets may prescribe medication and therapeutics and our partner pharmacy will ship it right to your door.

What’s included in a Dutch membership?

All Dutch members have unlimited access to U.S.-licensed veterinarians over video chat and messaging for up to 5 pets. In many states, our vets can also prescribe medication for pets. Our vets will create a specialized treatment plan for your pet that can include prescription and/or over-the-counter medications, as well as behavioral modification, diet, and/or enrichment advice. A Dutch membership also includes free standard shipping and free, unlimited follow-ups with our vets through messaging and video calls. In addition, our Annual + Insurance plan includes $10,000 of emergency insurance. The cost of medication is not included in membership.
