Detox in dogs
What exactly does detoxing your dog mean and how does it work? The topic of detoxification has been a trend for us humans for a long time, and it is now also being applied to our four-legged friends. But does detoxification through herbal supplements do any good and if so, when should this be used?
What is detox in dogs?
"Detox" is a short form of "detoxification" and basically means removing poisonous substances. The term is often used in connection with cleansing the body of harmful substances or toxins. But it also includes waste products from everyday metabolic processes being broken down or excreted by the body's own detoxification organs. As a rule, a healthy dog's body detoxifies itself on its own. However, due to various influencing factors or stressful phases of life for the dog, their detoxification system can end up getting challenged. Over a longer period of time, this can possibly have an effect on your dog's well-being and become noticeable, for example, in its behaviour.
What are demanding or stressful phases of life for dogs?
Possible signs of psychological as well as physical stress in dogs:
- The dog is weak
- Partially stressed behaviour
- Restlessness due to lack of exercise, as the dog may have to be resting
- There may be effects on their coat and skin, e.g. duller coat than usual, matted coat
- Change in behaviour, e.g. due to the dog grieving
- Reduced food intake due to lack of appetite
- Diarrhoea
All the above signs should not be confused with general nervous behaviour. They may also indicate other health challenges that need medical consultation.
