diarrhea in dogs | Olewo USA

Carrots are an excellent source of natural nutrition and offer amazing health benefits for dogs such as:

1. Quick cure from dog diarrhea


2. Healthy digestion in dogs


3. Natural deworming


4. Healthy skin and coat


5. Immune system health    

Many pet owners however don’t realize that dogs are NOT able to properly digest raw carrots, and therefore the valuable nutrients cannot be absorbed when given in the raw form.  Olewo Dehydrated Carrots are easy to digest and in the proper form allowing for absorption of the beneficial nutrients in the dog’s digestive system to get the full benefits from this nutrient-rich vegetable. Dogs actually need some vegetables in their diet because they contain many important health-promoting nutrients from a natural source. Many of those nutrients are the ones that are often lacking in commercial dog foods, and natural source vitamins are much more effective than synthetic vitamins.

HOW TO PREPARE AND FEED OLEWO DEHYDRATED CARROTS:

DIRECTIONS: Rehydrate the recommended daily amount of Olewo Dehydrated Carrots according to bodyweight of the dog (refer to feeding chart on bag) in some warm water. The amount of water used for rehydration can be adjusted to your liking depending on the desired consistency of the final reconstituted mixture.

DIRECTIONS:  The addition of a small amount of oil (refer to feeding chart on bag) is recommended to help convert more of the beta-carotene to the beneficial vitamin A, but is optional.  Good oils to use are salmon oil, flax seed oil, organic coconut oil; but most oils you have in your kitchen will do, even olive oil. Oil should not be added for puppies because puppy food already has a higher fat content; when feeding performance dog foods, which are also higher in fat; or for seniors because they simply don’t need the added oil.

DIRECTIONS: Steep for 10 minutes in warm water until the carrot pellets are completely rehydrated.  Then add to the dog’s regular food such as dry kibble, canned dog food, raw dog food, or home cooked meals.

The German Shepherd Dog is hailed as the world’s leading police, guard and military dog, however, this dependable breed is more than its 9-to-5 job. Consistently one of the United States most popular breeds according to AKC® Registration Statistics, the German Shepherd Dog is also a loving family companion, herder and show competitor.

The German Shepherd Dog originated in 1899 at Karlsruhe, Germany due to the efforts of Captain Max von Stephanitz and others. Derived from the old breeds of herding and farm dogs, the first German Shepherd Dog exhibited in America was in 1907. The fame associated with Rin-Tin-Tin and Strongheart, two members of the breed whose movies played on variations of the boy and his dog theme, shot the popularity of the breed sky-high.

The breed is approachable, direct and fearless, with a strong, muscular body. The GSD may be most colors, but most commonly is black and tan.  Slightly long in comparison to its height, the German Shepherd Dog is ideally 23″-25″ (57.5 – 62.5 cm) high. These proportions coupled with the position of the fore and hindquarters producing a far-reaching and enduring gait.  Attentive, alert and resilient, the breed is steady of nerve, loyal, self-assured, courageous, and tractable and should never be over-aggressive or shy.  For exhibition the coat should be straight, hard, and as close lying as possible, with a thick undercoat.

THE MANY ROLES OF THE GERMAN SHEPHERD

The German Shepherd is easy to train because he is intelligent and has highly developed senses.  Specialized trainers can prepare the individual dog to take on one of many roles: defender, drug dog, guard, life-saver, sentry, tracker, army or police dog, dog to lead the blind, or to rescue victims of earthquake and avalanche.

The training of the German Shepherd begins when he is only ten weeks old.  At this stage, he takes part in walks and games, during which he learns to respond to his name when commanded by his trainer, to accept the collar and leash, and finally to walk leashed or free.

At the age of eight months, a trainer teaches the GSD how to guard, jump, search, track, refuse bait, and retrieve.  His ‘vocabulary” is extended to include an understanding of such commands as ‘go’, ‘stay’, ‘get up’, and ‘lie down’.

The last, difficult training stages are for German Shepherds being educated as defenders or guards.  They are taught to deal with intimidating situations such as threatened beatings, and to become used to the sounds of gun-fire.  Each dog goes through attack-training. During carefully simulated encounters, the dog is ordered to attack an intruder, which may be a dummy or a properly protected instructor.  Once attack-training is completed, the defending or guard dog is assigned to its own handler and attacks only on his command. The training of an army or police dog is based on these principles.  Duties may include patrolling, tracking, detecting mines, and protecting military bases.

German Shepherds were first trained as avalanche dogs in 1970.  Their highly developed sense of smell and their tough, weather-resistant coats make these dogs the most effective and rapid rescuers of victims of these natural disasters.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION

The German Shepherd needs daily brushing and only one or two baths a year.  He may suffer from chronic eczema, keratitis (inflammation of the cornea), and hip dysplasia (malformation of the hip joint), a hereditary affliction which becomes apparent about the age of four month.  To avoid buying a sickly dog, always go to a reputable breeder.

To make sure your GSD can enjoy optimal health, be vibrant and thrive, all-natural dog supplements should be added to his diet for added natural nutrition.  A carrot dog food supplement is an excellent source of natural nutrition and offers amazing health benefits for dogs such as a quick cure from dog diarrhea, healthy digestion, natural deworming, healthy skin and coat, and immune system health. A red beet dog food supplement is also recommended because red beets are a nutritional powerhouse, a great natural detoxifier to prevent dog allergies, and have anti-inflammatory compounds that can help lower the risk of inflammatory-driven diseases.  Red beets are the most powerful antioxidant and can help protect against disease and certain cancers.

Since your German Shepherd does not need a bath very often, an all-natural skin and coat care spray is ideal for general care in-between baths. Choose a quality spray, preferably one that naturally kills bacteria, fungi and viruses to prevent skin problems in dogs and helps bring relief to the occasional itchy dog.

Sample Request for Olewo Carrots

Are you looking at your dog’s stool?

We have asked this question many times while we had a local pet store.  Some customers were examining their dog’s stool, and others responded “Heck no, why would I want to look at my dog’s poop?”  It really is important to know what your dog’s stool normally looks like to determine if there is a problem when there is a concern.

Keep your dog hydrated!

A big concern during episodes of diarrhea is dehydration.  Make sure your dog has plenty of water to keep him or her hydrated!  If necessary, use a syringe to force your dog to ingest some water.  During this time of discomfort, it may be hard to get your dog interested in drinking or eating at all.  Even in this situation, Olewo Carrots come to the rescue.  Since Olewo Carrots need to be rehydrated with water, your dog will automatically ingest some much needed liquid.  Dogs love the taste of Olewo Carrots and they will most likely eat it, even if they are not interested in eating anything else.  In this situation, the rehydrated Olewo Carrots can be given by itself, and not mixed in with other food.

In most cases it is okay to try and remedy diarrhea at home before seeking medical attention, especially with the common causes of diarrhea listed below.

DIET

Diet is one of the most common causes for diarrhea.  With puppies, any change in diet can cause diarrhea because their digestive system is so young and has difficulty digesting new foods.  Adult dogs can get diarrhea because the dog food they are fed may not be ideal, it may be too high in fat or protein, may have irritating additives, or the dog may be allergic to one or some of the dog food ingredients.  Switching to a new dog food can also cause diarrhea if the transition happened to fast.  The dog may have also eaten something that wasn’t meant for consumption or may have eaten something that was unhealthy, like many treats that are on the market.

STRESS

Stress is the other common cause for diarrhea.  We often don’t think about it, but dogs can experience a tremendous amount of stress when left alone for long periods of time, when left in a confined area, when traveling, when going to the vet, groomer, or boarding facility. Dogs can even feel the tension when being around stressed people, and get nervous. Many adopted dogs may have experienced abuse and may never loose the nervousness, even if they end up in a loving home, which is the case with one of our own dogs.

DOG BREEDS PRONE TO DIGESTIVE ISSUES

Some dog breeds such as Australian Shepherds, Boxers, German Shepherds, Great Danes, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, Terriers and others are simply prone to digestive issues and often have soft stools.

SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION

If the diarrhea does not improve, seek medical attention!  When dogs have liquid diarrhea, they may have a viral or intestinal infection.  If the condition persists, seek medical attention because of the high risk of dehydration in this situation. Any time there is blood in the stool or diarrhea, your dog could be experiencing a serious health problem.  Seek medical attention immediately!

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN TREATMENT

Olewo Dehydrated Carrots should be added to your dog’s regular meals daily to prevent diarrhea and other digestive issues.  The beta-carotene in dogs continuously repairs the intestinal lining and maintain good digestive health.  Prevention is always better than treatment!

Please note that Olewo Carrots is the ORIGINAL carrot product for dogs, and the only carrot product on the market that allows dogs to absorb and benefit from the many health-promoting nutrients found in carrots.  The same results cannot be achieved by feeding raw carrots, cooked carrots, or any other carrot product.
