When should I be concerned about my dog’s diarrhea?
When should I be concerned about my dog’s diarrhea?
If your dog’s diarrhea doesn’t resolve quickly (within a day or two), it may be caused by an underlying condition that needs professional medical treatment. When in doubt, it’s always a good idea to reach out to your vet or schedule an online vet appointment. Even if the cause seems minor, such as ingesting old food from outside, getting a professional opinion is always worthwhile.
What do you give a dog for diarrhea?
What do you give a dog for diarrhea?
It’s smart to talk to a vet before giving your dog anything for diarrhea. Your dog may become dehydrated from diarrhea, so plenty of water should be available to them. A bland diet can be offered while you’re waiting for your vet visit.
How long does dog diarrhea last?
How long does dog diarrhea last?
The duration of dog diarrhea depends on the cause. If your dog has an allergy or intolerance to a protein in their food and you keep feeding them that food, then the dog diarrhea may never go away. However, if your dog simply has an upset stomach due to a stressful event (such as a thunderstorm) this may resolve within hours or days.
If your dog’s diarrhea persists for multiple days, it may be a sign of something more serious. At that point, scheduling a visit with one of our online vets is a good idea.

What is a visit with Dutch like?
What is a visit with Dutch like?
When booking a video call with a vet, you'll be asked a few questions about your pet’s health issue. Depending on the issue, you may also be asked to fill out a longer questionnaire about their symptoms and share photographs of them so our veterinarians can better understand what’s going on. You’ll then pick an appointment time that works best for you.
During your video call, one of our licensed veterinarians will talk to you about the symptoms your pet is experiencing, ask you questions, review your pet’s medical history if you’ve provided it, and answer any questions you have. The vet will ask to see your pet and their environment. And they may ask you to perform some simple checks on them if needed.
After your video call, the vet will send you a message with a custom treatment plan to help your pet feel better, including a link to buy any recommended prescription or over-the-counter medications. Place your order and we’ll ship it free.
How do I know if you can treat my pet?
How do I know if you can treat my pet?
Our vets can provide care and prescriptions for more than 150 issues — and over 90% of cases can be treated virtually.
The vet can diagnose your pet based on your description of their symptoms, their medical history, seeing them during your video call, and, if needed, through uploaded photos and videos. They may ask you to do a few simple checks during the call. We also offer a number of at-home lab test kits for dogs and cats.
The health and safety of pets is our top priority. In the rare case that a vet determines a pet needs to go to a local clinic, they’ll provide a referral and offer advice on how to care for them until they can be seen.
Some things that require in-person care include emergencies, wounds that need stitches, and issues that require blood work, imaging (X-rays or ultrasounds), or surgery.
Our vets are always available for second opinions and follow-up care after in-person vet visits — so you don’t have to navigate health issues alone.
