20 Best Foods for Pug with Diarrhea
When my pug’s tummy is upset she gets chicken with cauliflower rice. I also include 100% pumpkin, good for her anal glands. Get a food sensitivity test from your vet too. I hope she or he feels better soon.

1. I’m sure you’re doing this, so this is not judgement but if it’s been more than 2 days, call your vet.
2. Is the pup still eating and drinking? Yes? That’s so good. No, not great.
3. Rice and either PLAIN hamburger or boiled/steamed chicken.
Feed a little at a time, once the stools are solid, you can introduce kibble slowly into the rice. My pug had a super sensitive stomach, so this was the vets recommendation, also pepto and pedialyte. Again, talk to your vet. Tummy issues are super common with pugs.

My little girl developed pancreas issues. She almost didn’t survive. Had diarrhea and vomiting. The vet prescribed Hill’s Science Diet Sensitive dog food for her. She’s doing much better. Check with the vet.

I put my girl on Royal canin gastrointestinal dry and wet food with Purina probiotics from the vet. I was desperate, tried everything and I am not a fan of dog food from the vet but felt at her age it’s about quality of life. Knock on wood but she hasn’t had diarrhea since last summer. I plan to keep her in this food and give her prebiotic when needed.

Plain cooked rice with a tiny bit of cooked small chicken pieces for 2-3 days. Then slowly decrease the rice and start adding normal diet over about 4 days. Insure there is always plenty of fresh water available.

If you keep switching foods without weaning them into a new one, this is why your pug is having diarrhea.Also, try a basic diet of Hamburg and white rice with whole pumpkin mixed in. Not the pumpkin pie. 100% organic pumpkin. Like a teaspoon. Your pug could be allergic to chicken. It’s a common allergen for dogs. Read labels. Take your pug to the vet. I have mine on a limited ingredient diet. One protein. Lamb. It’s easier on the stomach.

Raw….you don’t have to make it…brands like Primal…Stella and Chewy are a good start. Slowly transition in the meantime go to you local pet store and try goats milk. Add some pumpkin puree in the meantime to food.

Try hypoallergenic, Grain free food that preferably is only meat or fish and vegetables and not rice! It is common for pugs to be allergic to grains including rice, also stop giving any treats for a while and definitely no human food id you are! But if things don’t settle after a week then definitely go to the vets and request a allergy test, best thing i ever did for my baby xxx

Quit giving her so many different kinds of food, probably the reason she has it, give her food of one kind for awhile so the diarrhea stops, she’ll let you know what foods she likes, mine is almost 10 yrs old and I’ve feed her nothing but chicken breast boil, maybe dog food 10 times in her life and this her, she weigh about 16-18 pds never a problem with her weight and she very healthy
