Antibiotics can work wonders when your dog needs them, but they can leave the gut feeling a bit unsettled. At Natural Treats Wiltshire we’re all about gentle, natural support to help your dog feel like themselves again. Here are a few easy ways to help them recover, using simple ingredients and everyday routines.
1. Add nourishing broth to their diet
A warm, mineral-rich broth is one of the best things you can give after antibiotics. It’s soothing, hydrating and easy on the tummy. We have ready-made frozen broth in-store, plus our broth powder that you simply mix with warm water. Both are perfect for supporting digestion and getting your dog back on track.
2. Support the gut with probiotics
A good probiotic or a spoonful of goat’s milk or kefir can help restore healthy gut bacteria. Start slow and build up gradually so your dog’s system can rebalance comfortably.
3. Keep meals simple
For raw feeders, sticking to a gentle single protein raw mince for a few days can really help. A simple bowl gives the digestive system a chance to settle without overwhelming it. Our knowledgeable team in Wiltshire can help you choose the right options for your dog.
4. Add prebiotic goodness
Natural fibres like pumpkin powder, psyllium husk or marshmallow root soothe digestion and feed the good bacteria that thrive after antibiotics. Even a small sprinkle can make a difference.
5. Keep hydration up
Offer plenty of fresh water and top meals with a splash of broth to keep your dog hydrated. It’s a small step that supports overall recovery.
6. Lift their natural wellness
Tiny amounts of bee pollen, spirulina or seaweed meal can give a natural wellness boost. If you’re unsure what to use, just ask us in-store.
7. Remember to take it slow
Every dog recovers at their own pace. Keep an eye on appetite, poos and general behaviour, and if you’re ever unsure, we’re always happy to help.
