Hey friends, quick question: anyone else's dog have a super loud gurgling tummy? Bella's sounds like a mini thunderstorm while we're just chilling on the couch. Not sure if this is a thing or if I should be worried. Thoughts?

Hey there! It's not unusual for our pups to have some tummy sounds from time to time — those noises are often just part of normal digestion and are generally okay if Bella seems happy and comfy otherwise. Let’s chat about a few things to watch for just to be on the safe side:

• Keep an eye out for other symptoms like vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, or any signs of discomfort like pacing or restlessness.
• If Bella's gurgles are accompanied by these symptoms or if they seem to last more than a few hours, it's best to consult a vet to rule out any underlying issues.
• Should you notice her trying to vomit without success or if her belly looks bloated, that's more urgent and you should seek immediate veterinary care as these could be signs of a serious condition like bloat or gastric torsion.
• If there’s no diarrhea or vomiting, offering small, bland meals of cooked chicken and rice can sometimes help settle her tummy. Make sure she has access to fresh water at all times.

If you're unsure or your pet’s symptoms worsen, it's best to book a call with a vet on Dial A Vet for professional advice.
