Banjo is notorious for having digestive issues.
She can be pretty picky about what she eats, especially when it comes to treats, but that doesn’t stop her from occasionally wolfing down something that’s going to cause a weeklong bout of diarrhea. And, as luck would have it, that’s exactly how we spent our last week. Not fun.
A year ago, during a visit to Banjo’s veterinarian, I was advised to feed her sweet potatoes (instead of rice) when she has an upset stomach. The advice paid off, and it’s something I’ve relied on.
Pure USDA-organic pumpkin puree, no fillers or additives. Adds gentle soluble fiber to firm up loose stool and settle a mildly upset stomach. A simple vet-favorite topper.
