Dog Diarrhea: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

June 17, 2025

Diarrhea in dogs can have many causes. It may be due to dietary changes, infections, parasites, or underlying health issues, and the condition ranges from mild to life-threatening. Watch for symptoms such as loose stools, vomiting, lethargy, or blood in the feces, which may indicate severe conditions like parvovirus, tick fever or poisoning. While mild cases can often be managed at home with fasting, bland diets (such as rice and chicken), and probiotics. Severe or persistent diarrhea (especially in puppies) requires immediate veterinary care, including diagnostics, fluids, and medications like metronidazole. Breeds like Yorkies and German Shepherds are more prone to digestive issues. Prevent Diarrhea by gradual diet changes, regular deworming, and avoiding toxins. Always consult Petyaari Pet Clinic if symptoms worsen or last beyond 48 hours to ensure your dog’s swift recovery.

Silent Killers: Unmasking the Severe Threat of Tick-Borne Diseases to Dogs in India

Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) like Ehrlichiosis, Babesiosis, and Anaplasmosis are a silent epidemic affecting millions of dogs across India, with mortality rates reaching 40% during outbreaks. Spread primarily by the brown dog tick, these diseases thrive in India’s warm, humid climate and dense urban dog populations. Symptoms like fever, tiredness, anemia, pale gums and neurological problems are often noticed. Prevention is key. Use vet-recommended tick preventatives like collars, spot-ons, or chewables. Also, do daily tick checks and keep areas clean. If detected early, TBDs are treatable with antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline) or antiprotozoal drugs. At PetYaari Pet Clinic, we emphasise year-round vigilance, especially in high-risk cities like Mumbai, Delhi, and Hyderabad. Protect your dog, schedule regular vet check-ups and act fast at the first sign of illness. Together, we can combat this preventable threat.

Parvo Virus in Dogs: Symptoms, Treatment & Prevention | Petyaari Pet Clinic

Canine Parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious and life-threatening disease that primarily attacks unvaccinated puppies and dogs, causing severe vomiting, bloody diarrhoea, and dehydration. At Petyaari Pet Clinic, we emphasise that prevention through complete vaccination (starting at 6-8 weeks) and strict hygiene is crucial, as the virus can survive in environments for months. Early symptoms like lethargy and loss of appetite demand urgent veterinary care; delay reduces survival chances from 90% to below 20%. Treatment includes IV fluids, antibiotics, and advanced therapies like monoclonal antibodies, with costs ranging from ₹7,000 to ₹25,000. Recovery takes weeks, requiring careful nutritional support. Trust Petyaari for expert CPV care, from diagnostics to emergency treatment. Protect your pet: vaccinate, disinfect, and act fast at the first sign of illness.

Dog Vaccinations in India: Schedule and Costs

Vaccinating your dog is crucial for protecting them against deadly diseases such as rabies, parvovirus, and distemper, while also safeguarding public health, especially in India, which accounts for 60% of global rabies deaths. Puppies should begin vaccinations at 6-8 weeks with core vaccines (7-in-1 or 9-in-1 and rabies), followed by boosters at 12-14 weeks and annually. The 9-in-1 vaccine (₹700–₹1,000) covers additional strains such as leptospirosis, while rabies vaccines (₹350/dose) are legally mandatory. Non-core vaccines (e.g., kennel cough and canine coronavirus) are recommended based on lifestyle risks. The costs for full puppy vaccination range from ₹2,500 to ₹4,500. Always deworm before vaccinating and monitor for mild side effects. Stay compliant, track schedules, and consult a vet at Petyaari Pet Clinic. Vaccinate today to ensure a long, healthy life for your pet and the community.
