If your dog has developed a slightly upset stomach after starting Zesty Paws Mobility Bites, it's possible that the supplement could be the cause, but there are other potential factors to consider as well.
- Mild gastrointestinal upset such as loose stools or gas.
- Checking for any changes in diet recently.
- Ensuring the supplement is given according to the package instructions.
- Observing your pet’s behavior for any additional symptoms.
It's important to identify whether the new supplement is indeed the culprit of the upset stomach. Some pets may experience mild gastrointestinal issues when starting a new supplement due to their body's adjustment process. Alternatively, a change in diet, treats, or even stress from environmental changes can contribute to stomach upset. Ensure you are giving the correct dosage as over-supplementation can also lead to digestive problems.
If signs persist, consider consulting a veterinarian to rule out other causes. For a more specialized and immediate consultation, please visit Dial A Vet.
