      What can you give your shepherd for constipation without it turning into diarrhea?

      Vet tech here  How do you know they’re constipated? It’s pretty rare for dogs to actually get constipated and most often times the owners just see them squatting and straining out in the yard but in reality they’re having diarrhea and urgency to go.
      What diet do they eat currently? Any other symptoms?

      Probiotics and pumpkin  or a little more exercise
      Walking around and more movement should help. It works for people too.

      But I would bring him to a vet to make sure there is no blockage

      I give my girl Native Pet Probiotic. It has been a lifesaver.

      Pumpkin for my big guy. If I notice it longer or if it turns into diarrhea – boiled chicken and rice for a few days rather than kibble.

      It may have a blockage from something he ate
      Vet is the best option in my opinion.
