In this live, I’m joined by my bestie and hot-shot dog behaviour consultant Lauren Tapp from Catalyst Canines to talk about the relationship between gut health and behaviour in sensitive dogs.
We explore why GI health is about much more than obvious symptoms like vomiting and diarrhoea, and how subtle or ongoing gut issues can show up through changes in a dog’s behaviour, appetite, sleep, sensitivity and overall wellbeing.
We also talk about how guardians can start noticing patterns without becoming overwhelmed, and why improving gut health is rarely about finding one food, supplement or intervention that fixes everything.
Topics Covered:
The connection between GI health, stress, emotions and behaviour
Subtle and behavioural signs that may indicate GI discomfort
Why common symptoms like intermittent loose stool, vomiting and picky eating shouldn’t automatically be considered normal
How to observe and track your dog’s symptoms so you can identify patterns and communicate more effectively with your veterinary team
Why we recommend slowing down rather than changing your dog’s food, supplements and routine all at once
How stress, sleep, fulfilment, feeding environments and eating rituals can interact with gut health
The relationship between food, training and behaviour, particularly for dogs who already have a difficult or conflicted relationship with eating
Why complex GI cases often require us to look at the whole dog rather than searching for one simple solution
This conversation is intended as an accessible starting point for guardians of sensitive dogs who want to better understand how their dog’s physical health and behaviour may be connected.
