What should I do if my Icelandic Sheepdog has diarrhea? Diarrhea is a common symptom in dogs’ lives. Diarrhea usually occurs when dogs catch a cold. Therefore, more attention should be paid to their usual colds to prevent diarrhea.

1. Feeding: Dogs should be fed regularly and quantitatively, and good eating habits should be developed, which will help their gastrointestinal function. Never allow your dog to be hungry and full, as this will cause gastrointestinal dysfunction and may result in intractable diarrhea. If it is a puppy under 4 months old, the dog food should be soaked in warm water for a while before feeding, but the soaked dog food should not be left for a long time, otherwise it will deteriorate.

2. Living environment: The dog’s activity space and supplies must be kept clean and disinfected regularly. Its residence should be kept warm in winter and well ventilated in summer. If you want to travel with your dog or take it to another place, you must be more careful about its diet, daily routine, etc. during the journey.

3. Walking: When taking the dog for a walk, it will like to sniff everywhere to collect more information. At this time, the owner cannot take it lightly. Do not let your dog sniff unknown objects or pick up food outside. Some dogs have not eaten fiber foods for a long time and lack fiber in their bodies. They like to eat some plants when walking. This should also be stopped, because some dogs will be poisoned if they eat them.

4. Immunization and deworming: Immunization is the most effective method to prevent infectious diseases. Dogs suffer from many infectious diseases, such as canine distemper, parvovirus enteritis, etc. Some of these diseases are fatal, and once they develop, there is no specific treatment and can only be prevented by vaccination in advance.

The above are the key points to prevent diarrhea in dogs. We must pay more attention to the dog's diet. We must prevent the dog from catching cold in winter, do not let them pick up food from outside, and vaccination work must be done well. Doing these things should be helpful in preventing diarrhea in dogs.
