Digestive Issues

 I had a customer call the store like half an hour before we closed asking if we had any solutions to help out their dog.

As they're dog has been suffering from diarrhea and they wanted to know if there was anything they could give the dog to help fix that. 

Which yah. You can give a dog canned pumpkin and that can help with the problem. And we do sell that here in the store.

But the customer was like "Can I just give them people food?"

... I had to ask them to repeat the question.

"Can I just give my dog people food?"

*exhales*

Like...No? 

Giving a dog human food could make the problem worse depending on what you're feeding it. It could also cause other issues because human food isn't meant to be given to dogs. There's a lot of stuff within our food that dogs can't digest and such.

And like yes. You could give human food if you cook your chicken and your rice in such a way to make it 'safe' for the dog.

But like it might not solve the diarrhea problem. It's better to try the canned pumpkin and maybe switch to a different dog food. Or else wait out a week and see if the issue resolves itself because if the dog was suddenly switched from one type of food to another then yah....you're gonna have digestive issues. 

But also like....why wait until nearly 9pm at night to call and ask us this question? *shakes head*
