About this book
When your dog has an upset stomach, it's messy, stressful, and often scary. You want to help, but you're flooded with conflicting advice from the internet and well-meaning friends. Home Remedies for a Dog's Upset Stomach cuts through the noise with a clear, practical plan you can put into action immediately.
Written in a warm, reassuring tone like advice from a trusted vet tech, this guide walks you through every stage of the problem. You'll learn what causes most stomach upsets, the safe 'wait and see' period, how to do a proper fast, and what to feed when your dog is ready for food again. You'll also get a full chapter on red flags—the symptoms that mean it's time to call the vet—so you can act with confidence, not panic.
This is not a replacement for professional veterinary care, but a smart first response and a way to reduce unnecessary stress and vet bills when home care is appropriate. With realistic timelines, troubleshooting for common setbacks, and answers to the questions every owner asks, this guide gives you the knowledge to nurse your dog through this unpleasant patch and get back to wagging tails.
Reader Reviews
Kenneth Walker
★★★★★This book came to my rescue when my lab got into the trash at 2 AM. The step-by-step plan was easy to follow, and I especially appreciated the clear instructions on how to fast him and what to feed afterward. He was back to normal in two days. The red flags chapter gave me peace of mind that I wasn't missing anything serious.

★★★★★I bought this because my puppy had diarrhea for a day and I was panicking. The book has good info, but I wish it had a bit more detail on what to do if your dog is also vomiting. My vet ended up saying it was fine, but I felt like I needed an extra phone call to be safe. Still, the hydration tips were helpful.

★★★★★As a first-time dog owner, I was clueless about what to do when my dog started having loose stools. This guide gave me a solid routine and explained why each step matters. I loved that it was written in plain English, not textbook jargon. My dog is doing great, and I feel more prepared if it happens again.
Anthony Lopez
★★★★★The book is fine, but I expected more 'home remedy' options. I used the bland diet part and it worked, but I was hoping for more natural supplements like herbs or essential oils (which I know it warns against, but still). It's more of a first-aid guide than a remedy book. Still, it's clear and well-organized.

★★★★★I can't thank this book enough. My dachshund has a sensitive stomach and I've had to use the fasting and bland diet protocol three times now. Each time, it works like a charm. The chapter on electrolytes was a lifesaver when he got really dehydrated. I only wish I'd had this years ago. Highly recommend to any dog owner.

★★★★★I've been a vet tech for years, and this book is exactly what I'd recommend to my clients. It covers all the basics without being condescending, and it's very clear about when to call a vet. The checklist for red flags is spot on. My own dog had a bout of gastroenteritis, and I followed the steps with confidence. Great resource.

★★★★★This guide is a big relief. My dog ate something gross on a walk and threw up a few times. The book helped me keep my cool, know what to watch for, and feed him the right things the next day. He recovered quickly. I appreciate the emphasis on when to see the vet—that kept me from being too casual about it.
