Gas, Scooting, and Grass-Eating? It’s Time to Fix Your Dog’s Gut Health

Ever wonder why your dog suddenly becomes a lawnmower or scoots their bum across the floor like it's an Olympic sport? These might seem like quirky behaviors, but they’re actually signs your dog’s digestive system might be struggling.

Just like us, your dog’s gut is responsible for way more than just digestion. It’s linked to mood, immunity, energy, and even skin health. When it’s off — you’ll see it (and smell it).

Here’s how to tell if your dog’s gut needs a reset and how Paw+ Belly Boost, our vet-formulated probiotic supplement, can help.

🐶 Common Signs of Poor Gut Health in Dogs

If your dog is showing any of these, their gut microbiome might be out of whack:

  • Smelly, excessive gas

  • Frequent grass eating (not just nibbling — chowing down)

  • Scooting or bum dragging

  • Gurgling stomach sounds

  • Loose or inconsistent poop

  • Bloating or discomfort after meals

  • Reduced appetite or picky eating

These aren't just quirks. They’re distress signals.

Why Gut Imbalance Happens (Even in “Healthy” Dogs)

You might be feeding your dog quality food — homemade or store-bought — but today’s diets can still lack the natural probiotics and enzymes dogs once got from a varied, wild diet. Add in antibiotics, vaccines, stress, aging, or poor-quality treats, and their gut flora can easily fall out of balance.

And when that happens, digestion slows down, nutrients aren’t absorbed well, and inflammation creeps in.

How Probiotics Help Reset the Gut

Probiotics are beneficial bacteria that support digestion, reduce inflammation, and crowd out the bad bacteria that cause bloating and discomfort.

But not all probiotics are created equal. Some pass through the system without ever colonizing. Others contain fillers or low-potency strains.

What Makes Belly Boost Different

Paw+ Belly Boost isn’t just a probiotic — it’s a targeted gut health blend designed for Indian dogs.

✅ 5+ Billion CFUs per scoop of dog-friendly, shelf-stable strains
✅ Prebiotics to feed the good bacteria
✅ Digestive enzymes to help break down food
✅ Herbs like fennel and ginger for natural gas relief
✅ Highly palatable powder — mix with curd, broth, or food

It’s gentle, effective, and doesn’t disrupt your dog’s mealtime routine.
