The most obvious symptom of constipation in our dog is the inability or difficulty to defecate. However, this disorder also often causes alterations in the smell or texture of your stool, as well as changes in your habitual behavior.

Therefore, it is important to observe your best friend's bowel movements daily and be alert to any sudden behavior problems. Next, we will explain better what are the symptoms and possible causes of constipation in dogs.

1. Main symptoms of constipation in our dog.

There are some signs that will indicate that our dog is constipated:

    Defend or try to do it outside the usual places (for example, defecate at home when you are used to doing it on the street).
    Difficulty defecating (the dog is crouching and forcing for a long time, but they can not expel their bowel movements).
    Swelling, sensitivity and abdominal pain.
    Cry, complain and show signs of pain when trying to poop.
    Loss of weight and appetite.
    Vomiting
    Stool smaller, dry, hard and dark.
    Presence of blood or mucus in the stool.
    Alterations of behavior: irritability, excessive tiredness, depression, lethargy, aggression, etc.

2. Possible causes of constipation in dogs.

Constipation in dogs can have different causes, depending on your lifestyle and your organism. Therefore, if we suspect that our dog may be constipated, we should take it quickly to the vet.

In the veterinary clinic, the professional can verify the state of health, identify the specific causes and recommend an appropriate treatment to the needs of your best friend.

To help you better understand constipation in dogs, we summarize below its most common causes.

    Poor fiber diet: a poor fiber or too dry feed is one of the main causes of constipation in our dog. Therefore, the introduction of fresh foods, as well as the adoption of a homemade and moist diet, is effective to improve the intestinal transit of dogs.

    Poor hydration: dogs that drink little water are more likely to suffer from constipation. Poor hydration can also cause other health problems, such as dehydration, urinary problems and kidney failure. It is essential to keep our dog well hydrated throughout the year, and especially on the hottest days. You should always have fresh water at your disposal.

    Stress: Stress is also among the most frequent causes of constipation in our dog. There are several factors that can generate stress in the dogs, such as low physical or mental stimulation, a moving home, an unbalanced nutrition, a negative environment, etc.

    Ingestion of foreign bodies: if by accident the dog swallows a toy, object or other foreign body, this element can clog its digestive tract and prevent proper intestinal transit. To avoid this, it is important not to offer toys or accessories with small ornaments, fabrics or loose ropes, for example.

    Pathological causes: some diseases, metabolic disorders and inflammations of the gastrointestinal tract can cause numerous digestive problems in dogs. In addition, some neurological problems are also usually associated with constipation in dogs.
