Quick Summary

Feeding dogs a night-time snack prevents hunger pukes caused by an empty stomach. This foaming, bilious vomiting occurs when a dog goes too long without food. Empty stomach bile irritation is particularly common in dogs transitioning from kibble to a raw food diet. The lack of carbohydrate fillers in raw diets means food digests much faster. Providing a small pre-bedtime treat keeps the digestive system active overnight. Suitable night-time snacks include high-protein options like sprats, tripe chunks, duck necks, or chicken wings. This simple feeding adjustment ensures a settled stomach and supports overnight digestive comfort.

High-fibre raw diets help produce firm, bulky stools that naturally clear the glands, preventing uncomfortable impaction or infection. Symptoms of blocked glands include scooting, excessive licking, or a pungent odour. Adding bone or natural supplements like pumpkin can improve stool consistency and support long-term digestive health.

Feeding rabbit ears to dogs improves their digestive health, natural parasite control, and dental hygiene. The undigestible fur on the ears acts as a physical sweep through the digestive tract, clearing away food residue build-up. This brushing action also helps remove intestinal worms and eggs naturally, reducing the need for chemical worming treatments. Additionally, the abrasive texture of the fur gently rubs away surface plaque from the teeth and gums. Regular feeding of these natural treats maintains clean intestines and supports overall canine wellness.
