5 Natural Remedies for an Upset Stomach

1. Herbs

Other herbs that help with indigestion and nausea include peppermint, dill, and one of my personal favorites, ginger. I recommend using fresh ground ginger or the dry herb, in the following amounts mixed into a delectable meatball:
Medium-size dogs
¼ teaspoon
Large dogs
½ teaspoon
Giant breeds
¾ to 1 teaspoon
Give the ginger one to three times a day as needed. If you’re using it to help with motion sickness, be sure to give it to your pet at least an hour prior to travel. Alternatively, you can add ¼ cup ginger tea per 20 pounds to food daily as needed.

2. Kefir

You can offer the kefir once an hour over the course of three hours after your pet stops vomiting. Give 1 to 2 teaspoons to cats and small dogs, 1 to 2 tablespoons for medium-sized dogs, and 2 to 4 tablespoons for large dogs.

Going forward, you can add 1 to 3 teaspoons of this super probiotic to your pet’s food once or twice a day for overall improved GI defenses.

3. Flower Essences

Many pet parents have good luck treating their pet’s nervous nausea with Bach Flower essences such as Scleranthus, Rock Rose, or Rescue Remedy.

4. Essential Oils

If your dog’s or cat’s nausea is triggered by rides in the car, try diffusing the essential oil of lavender in your vehicle by adding a drop to her collar or place a cotton ball with a few drops on it close to her.

5. Homeopathic Remedies

By far the most popular homeopathic remedy for nausea caused by motion sickness is Cocculus (Indian cockles). It can be given to your pet right before you put him in the car. Other remedies, depending on your pet’s particular symptoms, include Aconitum, Argentum and Ipecac.

When giving homeopathic remedies, try not to touch the pellets with your fingers. Instead, shake three of the large pellets or a half capful of the smaller granular pellets into the cap, and try to pop them into your pet’s mouth.

These natural and healing remedies will make all the difference for your pup. He won't spend his day feeling sick to his stomach! What a relief!

So the next time your pup isn't feeling your best you don't always have to run to the vet. Of course, it's important to consult with your vet if you feel your pup is really ill, but sometimes treating him naturally can help him recover fairly quickly.
