Feed A Bland Diet
Once your dog is able to handle water without vomiting and is showing increasingly regular behaviour and bowel movements, you can begin feeding it solid food again.
It’s definitely recommended that you start slow with basic, easy-to-digest meals such as the classic plain boiled chicken and rice.
Just like with the water, start off by only offering small amounts of food (one tablespoon at a time). After an hour has passed and no vomiting occurred, you can progressively give it more.
To help your dog pass the mass of Dentastix more quickly over the next few days, you can give it canned, unsalted pumpkin paste, low-fat Greek yogurt or other fiber-rich foods to spur its digestion. Pumpkin in particular can be helpful to solidify its poop and stop it from having diarrhea.
Keep feeding your dog this bland diet for as long as you need to, until the Dentastix have all been expelled and your pup is completely back to its normal self again.
