Dogs may be in need of a “bland diet” for a variety of reasons – recovering from surgery, having a bad case of diarrhea, suffering from a bacterial infection, vomiting because they’ve eaten something outside or in the garbage that didn’t agree.

If it’s after hours and you see large amounts of bright-red, bloody diarrhea, especially if the diarrhea is accompanied by vomiting and/or lethargy (your dog is just lying around, clearly not feeling good), don’t wait until morning to contact a vet. Bright-red and bloody diarrhea may occur with an extremely serious condition called hemorrhagic gastroenteritis (HGE). Without treatment, dogs experiencing HGE can become extremely sick and even die.

#1: Know the signs of pancreatitis
Gastroenteritis is a general term for irritation of the stomach and guts causes symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach pain, dehydration and a high temperature.
