What to Give Your Pooch for Dog Diarrhea
-
A bland diet helps your dog recover.
-
Placerville Veterinary Clinic recommends feeding your dog a mix of rice and cottage cheese for a day or two. This gives your dog's system time to recover from the trauma of diarrhea. Many people don't have time to fix their dog a special food, though.
Medication allows your dog to eat its food.
-
The veterinary website Drs. Foster and Smith notes that a dog can be given Immodium AD at a dosage of .05 to .1 mg per pound of body weight. Giving your dog a medication means it can eat its own food, which is more convenient to owners.

Bottom Line
-
All medications come with side effects. Any product that you give to your dog can cause more issues than the original health concern. Switching your dog's diet to the homemade bland food is a temporary, safe fix that can help your dog recover quickly.
