My two dogs are pretty much the only good thing in my life that keeps me on this planet. Thank you so much for a your help. I love my dogs and they deserve the best.
Great ideas . My dog had constipation with rock hard stools, probably due to lack of drinking. After a few attempts I finally succeeded with a large bowl of water with beef stock in and broke up a sardine. She wanted to eat the sardine pieces that she saw going in but could not get them until she drunk a lot of the water. It worked. I will remember the coconut oil too as I always have that in stock xx

I completely understand. The older I get the harder, this life gets. And my little doggy certainly helps to lift my spirits. It’s just sad what’s been done by the overgrown governments to make our lives just so much harder and so much less enjoyable. 😔
I am so grateful to have found you. I always turn to your videos for answers and never has your advice ever been wrong. Both,y pups have greatly improved since you are their go to choice for care.
My picky pup won't touch pumpkin or ground flaxseeds but loves coconut oil. I thought mixing them together might work but no go with all three. However I just mixed the flax with coconut oil she devoured it. Hope she continues to like it. 😊
Love your videos, and your sense of humor when things don’t go exactly as planned with your furbabies. 😂 That makes your videos more engaging and more organic, anyway! Wonder if we’ll be treated to your musical stylings in the next video? Thank you, Dr. Jones.
Dr. Jones - about 2 years ago I asked about constipation remedies for cats and you kindly wrote about flax seed. It has worked well for my cat,and since then he hasn't had an episode of bloody BMs. At the time, he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and developed bloody BMs. He had his lifestyle changed from outdoors to indoors thus being less active. You had mentioned also the importance of activity for cats. The flax seed still works wonderfully -- thank you very much.
Saga Poetic and how did you give it to your cat? And how much and how often? Lastly how long till he produced a bowl movement? Thank you so much for any insight on how you successfully treated your baby with flax seeds.
@@justjess986 I'm so glad I found Dr. Jones' website, and his flaxseed advice has been a God-send. It saved my cat's life. Before I found Dr. Jones' site, I had to rush my cat to the vet because he was weak from dehydraton and bloody stools/diarrhea. The first vet wanted to run all sorts of tests and wasnt sure the problem; the second vet I went to identified the correct problem but recommended Hill's diet and it wasnt helping and the problem continued. Im knocking on wood, but since I started giving him the flax seed and watch out for his habits per Dr Jones' advice -- my cat hasnt had a bloody episode. I love my cat of course but the expense was a huge issue as Ive gone back to school for nursing and my cat's problem wasn't resolving. I add a half a teaspoon of ground flax seed to his food a day when he has constipation. I mix it in with his wet and dry food to make sure he will eat it because at first he was being finicky. Now he eats it but I make sure to mix it well with his food. He is a 16 pound cat and bigger than a westie terrier. He will have a bm that day or the next day. Im on a student budget so this is why I give him this amount; but you might be able to give it to yours twice a day. I try to play with him 1-2 times a day but unfortunately I dont do this daily with my schedule. The other thing, I try to buy food made in the US or Canada because that is regulated. The food made in China is not regulated (or the other pet products). I avoid food that says 'meat by product' because I read it could come from diseased animal kill or road kill and no telling how long that meat had been out as it is. I give him wet and dry food mixed together and I add a couple of spoons of water to the food too, so he gets more liquid for hydration and easing constipation. I had read that cats get easily dehydrated with illness and can die from this, so the spoonfuls of water to his food each time he gets his dish has added benefits I live in the US so for dry foods I have gotten: Whole Pet from Whole Foods (its their budget line), Fromms, Market Fresh - these are a few dollars more than commercial dry brands. For wet food, I use the Whole Pets shredded chicken (Whole Foods' 365 budget line), Dave's, Fromm's pate, Nula. Im crossing my fingers, but so far my cat hasnt had issues with these foods. I read that Sheba used to be a great budget food and it is a commercial one, but Mars bought it and offshored production I think to Thailand. So, Im not sure if it is a safe bet. I try to mainly give him Market Fresh dry food and Whole Pets chicken wet food. I use the other foods if my main staples are out or once in a while as a treat for my little guy. I read somewhere to avoid tuna, especially for male cats - there might be a link with kidney problems for them. I later read that there are different causes for ulcerative colitis in cats and that constipation was one possible reason. In addition to the bloody stools, my cat alternated with constipation and diarrhea (the diarrhea may stem from the constipation too). For him, I pay close attention to his litterbox habits and what goes in there. Also, when I got my cat - I was his 3rd owner and he had been outdoors mostly - he had parasites and I had to get him antibiotics. I keep him indoors all the time - the parasites can wreak havoc on their systems and so easy to get from their outdoor kills. I hope this helps and your cat gets better. It is stressful to go through.
Do u use golden flaxseed or is it ok to use regular( dark brown) ? I tried to get my dog to take it like ur’s but he turned up his nose. Can I made it in a cookie form with 1 egg and very small amount of honey? I don’t know why my dog loves anything in a cookie or biscuit form. Thank u for all ur help with our animals, I really appreciate u!!

Doc, my vet told me a can of cream style corn for my Staffie's constipation. I also have used pumpkin and coconut oil. Much rather add these types of things to diet to keep the plumbing working than a pill. Thanks for all your help.
God led me here yesterday. I had already made an appt. to euthanize my 17-year-old male dog. It was NOT an easy decision, I simply thought his system was just shutting down due to age. A lot of other circumstances led me to make that decision (losing bladder control, etc.). I've come to the conclusion he must have had a virus in addition. However, we will simply change the vet appt. from the original reason, to having him checked over. Thank you!! God uses you to really help people. God bless you!! I get to keep my baby a while longer. Yes, he will go to Heaven someday. But not now.
I’m so happy that you didn’t have to make a hard decision for your fur baby . I had to do that to 2 of my fur babies not long ago and I still cry every day over losing them they were just my children . I loved them just as much as I do my children and my grandchildren they are a member of our family too . I hope your baby gets better very soon and you can enjoy him for many more years to come. God bless you and yours always . 💕🙏🏻💕
Praise God! 🙌 I am so happy for you and your doggo.❤️ I'm currently dealing with so much pain in my heart after our family dog got severely sick the last few days. He was vomitting. A vet came to my dads house to check him out and did some blood tests and found out he has heartworms and anemia. They put him on a iv and he was doing much better the next day. But then the vet told us that since he is not able to defecate and is too weak for surgery, he recommended to put him down. My heart is breaking 💔 it hurts me that he is that he's not able to defecate , he tries and tries and only little watery poop drops come out. 🥺 I'm just leaning on God to heal our dog Marley, praying for some extra time with him, and that he is able to poop without pain in Jesus name 🙏
Always helpful and I appreciate it, specially since money is tight and some products are so questionable. At home remedies that I can understand and apply, with vital instruction-thank you so much for all those you help
Thank you!! I'm a rawfeeder and recently changed the brand of food. My dog is now often constipated and even cries out sometimes when defecating!! (have to check the bone ratio!) I have all the remedies you mention on hand, (obviously😊) Thanks.
Thank you. My baby is constipated, never before. You are the only Vet on internet to give good advice. I didn’t have pumpkin but I had sweet potatoes. I have flax seeds & coconut oil. I added a teaspoon of mineral oil. He’s a 60 LB male Pit Bull & miserable. We’re in Alaska -13 F. You are the best.
I have a pit that hasn't pooped in 2+ days. Just gave him 1 tsp of Miralax in a small amount of hamburger meat. Gave him canned pumpkin yesterday, still nothing. Also hasn't pooped after the Miralax either. One more day, vet time.
this stuff works great, I have found that this stuff mixed with canned pet food over time works. also add as much warm water as possible to it, just as long as they will lap it up. at first you could very possibly need a few cc of pet-emma to jump start the stools temporarily every time you notice a major blockage for how ever many major blockages untill natural bathroom cycle occurs. you can also thin out the pet ema with warm water if you think its to potent. just use the bare minimum pet ema to get stool movement. this has worked for my pet👍
Thanks. It is good for us to see that the kitchen is truly the heart and hearth of the home. Caring and curing are linear and incremental. No need to apologize for the timing. As caretakers we (your audience) have been patiently tending our own families of animals and people. We often regret what we didn't know to do. That's the linear aspect of time. But we can learn better options and make a comforting difference next time.
My cat is shy about eating in front of our dog too--probably worried he will snatch the food out of her mouth. Also that company makes a 'Pumpkin pie mix' that you don't want to get because it has other ingredients like allspice and nutmeg and sugar. Just get the label that says 'organic pumpkin' which only has pumpkin as the ingredient. I found that cooked butternut squash is a laxative for dogs too. Thanks for the informative video, Dr. Jones.
Sent this to my husband and he mixed all 3 together and gave them to her. Hope we didn’t overdue it. My 9-10 lb chihuahua was always going 3 x a day reg size stools but in the last 3 days she has only gone once a day and just a small amount. I’m worried because she eats bugs and anything else she can find. Stuffed dog toys don’t stand a chance around here. I remove the squeakers because she tries to get them out. She loves the squeak but she would try to swallow it I’m sure. Only thing I found that lasts are those small orange balls that have holes so they can breath while holding it in their mouths. First I got her the chuck it blue and orange ball but she had the squeaker out in minutes. Thank heaven for those chuck it small orange air fetch it balls. Hopefully she is not overloaded with stool softener. We are puppy pad people so she can get there faster.
Your furbaby sound exactly like my Chihuahua Yorkie mix. I've been thinking of ordering a repurposed fire hose toy since they are supposed to be extremely difficult to shred.
Dr.Jones to the rescue again! Sons dog is constipated & I was trying to think what could I give her & I remembered you! I’m going to try this now. Thank you for these wonderful natural ingredients. Hope your having a great weekend & staying safe.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about relieving constipation fast try Trentvorty Herbal Protection Theorem (just google it )? It is a smashing one off product for curing constipation naturally without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got great success with it.
hello DR Jones , thank you for reminding me that what I am using is what you use too, and to show us how much to give as you are a prof.... (I am an energy healer/teacher / Intuitive born on a farm in EU and can feel what needs to be done but it always helps to share / exchange knowledge with the world) ..... Its a delight to see you care and Love your animals! all the best , Love and Golden Cosmic Source Light to enlighten you all.... A.
Your video " Healing your pets at home naturally " is excellent & I would highly recommend it . Love your style & that you're sharing your knowledge & experience. You make learning fun. Stay warm it's around 20° here in Indiana.
This was great, been searching for "digestive constipation home remedies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Qaneah Neynna Takeover - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Oh boy Tula got all three remedies in one video! She is going to be........let's just say.......very "productive" today........lol I put organic canned pumpkin into ice cube trays and freeze them, makes a great frozen treat!!
Holy cow, this is exactly what I needed to know... was going to call the vet about my dog... usually there is no problem... but as of yesterday it started... i'm grabbing the coconut oil now, and will open up the canned pumpkin.... which I was wondering why I had it in the cupboard just sitting... go figure the odds of that. Thank you so very much.
my pup is constipated after her surgery yesterday, where she couldn’t eat or drink before, and she didn’t want to eat or poop after! praying that hopefully the pumpkin works for her!
My mom has a small poodle that has always hated when you touched her stomach and in the past 6 months she has been having surprise bowel movements. We noticed when we were giving them snacks and she was jumping when all of a sudden she squatted then yelped and a piece started to come out then she tried to run off and hide. We giver her pumpkin with no changes in the texture.
Dr.... Im very surprised you missed the fact that your cat wasn't eating the pumpkin because he was just concerned about tula's interest in the pumpkin that was a social issue and I'd imagine it's just cuz you were watching the camera and thinking about making the video so I apologize if I'm pointing out the obvious and I don't intend to embarrass you, because I love what you do and I'm very proud of you for taking the stand you did I worked on the veterinary industry for 4 years and I know darn well you're doing the right thing. So anyhow I just was actually making this comment to defend the use of pumpkin to make sure that nobody misinterprets that slight to the 🧡 pumpkin
Aloha Dr. Jones, you are a hoot🤣! Thank you for this excellent and informative video. You are so kind. Murray was sort of spying on you at one point, he’s soooo cat😻 🐾✌🏼👏🏼.
Thank you Dr. Jones, going to try the coconut oil today. My Yorkie hasn't gone for a day. He does like Pumpkin, tried that yesterday. Hope this works 🙏
Hi Dr. Jones, was able to get Gizmo to consume Pumpkin Puree by warming it up and mixing a little honey in it. I coaxed him by putting some on my finger, then some in my palm( in larger amount). He ate it all. I did this for 3 days as he slowly started to empty out all the poop. In addition to giving him fresh chicken broth only for his food. Fortunately, he is trained for indoors/&outdoors so he can "go" whenever he has to day night. FYI, I've also started to give him 3 drops of fluid extract Black Walnut and Wormwood because I found a rather long white Worm in his second bowel movement. I saw this video, on RUclips, by Dan Scott on "How to naturally treat a Dog with worms". I give him 3 drops per day for 2 weeks, then nothing for 1 week, then 3 drops for one more week. After seeing a few more small worms, I'm happy to say i haven't seen anymore. But, I'm following the regiment to ensure that he is completely Worm free. As always, your advice is welcomed. Thank you😊. PS: I have another dog(Havanese) whom I am also giving the Worm detox to clean him out too.
Thank you so much Dr. Jones, my boy hasn't gone in 3 days . He has this bacteria in his GI Tract,clostridium, I've been giving him boiled chicken and chicken broth. Today, Im supposed to recieve an antibiotic called tylosin( ordered it from Chewy 3 days ago! Ugh. I hope it will help him In the mean time, I've already given him some Coconut Oil,and some Pumpkin Puree. Will give more twice today. 1 soft chew from Naturvet called Stool Ease for the last 3 days( including today). Waiting to celebrate a HUGE BOWEL MOVEMENT 😂
Hi Dr, my cat has been battling to go the last 2 days. The 2 days before that she was vomited up 2x quite large and compact hairballs. I have been treating her with pumpkin and coconut oil the last 2 days. I just boiled the pumpkin until soft and crushed it until it was smooth. My cat is a fussy eater so won't ear any of them alone. She has been on a raw diet for the last year and a half so I have been cutting the chicken, chicken hearts & chicken gizzards very fine and adding the smooth pumpkin with the blood. I have also mixed a small amount of coconut oil with just blood so she gets some of that oil. I have also tried rubbing some coconut oil on he front legs as when I put on her paws they get full of soil when she to try relieve herself. So can we do punkin and coconut oil on the same day and is what I'm doing correct? How long does it take to normally sort out constipation? Thank you 🙂
Flax seed doesn't have solid evidence of bioavailability in dogs and it contains a form of cyanide not to mention its high in fiber which could contribute to constipation and upset stomach. Pumpkin is great but if your dog really needs to poop I would skip the pumpkin or only does a small amount. Coconut oil however is the optimal choice. I gave my dog some fatty chicken on top of his normal food with the skin mixed a small amount of pumpkin and decent dose of olive oil. I did this after priming his empty stomach with some olive oil. And it didn't take long for his poop to come out and though slimmer than normal looked overall like a healthy consistency after the really hard backed up poo came out 1st. So do what you want ...OR check and question what information you consume like I do and try your best to do what's best not just for your dog but yourself and family! Long story short oil's like Coconut and olive are best for constipation in my experience .Good luck to you all and I hope yalls dogs live long and prosper ❤!
My dogs get a spoon of ground flax everyday with their raw diet. Fruit and vegs, and bone broth are added and they seem to be in top notch health. Raw ground meat from the local butcher at $1 pound. Can't beat it. We free feed kibble, too. Be sure to add Dr Jones supplement! 2 of my dogs have allergic reactions to coconut oil, so that's out of the question for them, but w their diet they have no problem of constipation. Keep knockin' on wood!
Hi Dr. Jones we have a 15 yr old Pekingese "Lion Puppy" and he's developed some constipation the past year or so and I wanted to ask why the Coconut Oil is in solid form and is it okay to give as oil oil? I've been giving him 2 tea spoons of Pumpkin and two tea spoons of Olive Oil it's definitely helped but I want to try the coconut oil just wanted to make sure if it's safe as oil? I soak Peppers chicken in the olive oil when I give it to him. Thank you so much for helping. 💜🐾
I literally just gave my dog pumpkin with a very lean turkey nothing else because his stool was loose. Then my cat opened the door to where I keep my treats and he ate a bunch of air dried turkey neck treats and idk what else now he's constipated and your telling me to give more of what I originally gave him for loose stool which clearly seemed to harden his stool. I'm sure the treats made it much worse but my dogs barely pooped in the last day and a half so I need to get him cleaned out.
When the sistuation is so serious just give him miralax,dulcolax. However, for everyday use, make linseed flex seed you boil the grains briefly over low heat, then when they cool down, use a syringe to take only the jelly, without the seeds.
Unrelated question, but seems like best place to ask: I have adopted rescue dogs my whole life. However, I have always dreamt of a French bulldog. I'm scared to try and find one because I'm not sure what the best way to avoid sketchy breeders, puppy mills, etc. Our dog is getting old and I'd like to get him a calm companion. I am disabled, so definitely need a dog that doesn't want a ton of running and such. Any advice?
Both of my one mouth puppies haven't pooped 4 days . And before the 4 days was 5 days . When they do poop it's not hard is very soft . Can I use this method ?
Do you have to worry about the amount of fat - my kitty seems to have chronic constipation so I think I need something long term. Does psyllium husk work?
I've been giving Skit's my older cat your ultimate feline since 2018 plus fluids for renal failure, I had the maintenance guy and 6 teen's bring up a refrigerator Monday Angel who has been constipated for years,I give her Doctors best hairball, digestive aid & fish oil capsule she hid for hours and I noticed she wasn't eating & she loves water and drinks it for 5min. But I saw she wasn't drinking but licking her lips as if she wanted it but was nauseous so this was Thur when I saw this I took her in immediately the x-ray showed only 1 lung first he said it's possible it's a hernia her white count was high then he comes out with the other Doctors think it's agressive cancer brought on by stress! A 600$ ultrasound would confirm a hernia & 2,000 surgery if she was stable, I'm a disabled Senior and I would have to take out another loan! Could a lung collapse from straining to poop? She's in extreme distress and not getting enough oxygen. I don't understand cuz she was running around the house up the cat tree and back in the front room? I'm looking for an idea since a collapsed lung doesn't inflate by itself and I don't trust any animal hospital that gets commission on services plus he ran a 153$ thyroid test which was separate from the CBC and not necessary since he already saw the x-ray! I'm now giving her capsules that I make with the ultimate feline formula and syringe feeding pate food he prescribed zeniquen and I switched it to orbax I think zeniquen is too strong for her I told him what I was going to do and he was upset, any suggestions would help with my decision as I don't want her to suffer 🙏🙏
I dont understand AT ALL how more fiber is the best option for constipation? Everyone knows high fiber can cause constipation though it can clean them out in the long run seems like a sub par option that could take awhile to work?
Hello, doctor! I just got a 7 week old puppy (Pomeranian/yorkie/frenchie mix)from a woman on Craigslist. I had an almost 2 hour drive back home and so far my tiny tiny puppy hasn't pooped since I've brought her home. She has only gone pee once so far. How much of either of those do I give her?
Can I give coconut oil daily for a long period of time or maybe once a week to solve hairball issues? Can I do this with the seed and pumpkin or should I just choose one per day or a few times per week? My cat Felix just had a vet x-ray and he was so stuffed up. He has a hard time going..every once and awhile.hes so much better now but I want to keep him healing and we'll and keep Mia we'll also💕jenn
Our dog had bloody stools and then diarrhea for a few days and after a colitis diagnosis she’s suddenly stopped going for two days. The odd thing is, she’s ravenous. She acts like she’s starving and wants to eat constantly. We feed her twice a day and that’s all. This dog always had perfect stools and went regularly three times a day and since this bout with colitis she won’t even try to go. Now that her stomach is settling down I’m wondering if it’s normal not to have any movement at all? This is so scary and strange.
Oh that cat lol... cool. My cats always want what the dogs are having and vice versa, guess I'm lucky.. I knew about the coconut oil and flax seed (I consume it almost everyday myself as well), and I also believe it leaves them with a shiny coat. Didn't know about the pumpkin though. Thanks once again Doc. Cheers :)
My two dogs are pretty much the only good thing in my life that keeps me on this planet. Thank you so much for a your help. I love my dogs and they deserve the best.
I completely understand, without my dog and cat I have no reason.

I had to do that to 2 of my fur babies not long ago and I still cry every day over losing them they were just my children . I loved them just as much as I do my children and my grandchildren they are a member of our family too . I hope your baby gets better very soon and you can enjoy him for many more years to come. God bless you and yours always . 💕🙏🏻💕
Praise God! 🙌 I am so happy for you and your doggo.❤️ I'm currently dealing with so much pain in my heart after our family dog got severely sick the last few days. He was vomitting. A vet came to my dads house to check him out and did some blood tests and found out he has heartworms and anemia. They put him on a iv and he was doing much better the next day. But then the vet told us that since he is not able to defecate and is too weak for surgery, he recommended to put him down. My heart is breaking 💔 it hurts me that he is that he's not able to defecate , he tries and tries and only little watery poop drops come out. 🥺 I'm just leaning on God to heal our dog Marley, praying for some extra time with him, and that he is able to poop without pain in Jesus name 🙏
@Rita-yw2tn i completely agree. They are our family ❤it hurts so much to lose a dog they truly are humans bestfriend 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔
Always helpful and I appreciate it, specially since money is tight and some products are so questionable. At home remedies that I can understand and apply, with vital instruction-thank you so much for all those you help
You're welcome!
I think Brushing your buddies once a day also helps keep the hair down. Especially a cat. Thank You for your Help and your time.
Thank you!! I'm a rawfeeder and recently changed the brand of food. My dog is now often constipated and even cries out sometimes when defecating!! (have to check the bone ratio!) I have all the remedies you mention on hand, (obviously😊) Thanks.
Thank you. My baby is constipated, never before. You are the only Vet on internet to give good advice. I didn’t have pumpkin but I had sweet potatoes. I have flax seeds & coconut oil. I added a teaspoon of mineral oil. He’s a 60 LB male Pit Bull & miserable. We’re in Alaska -13 F. You are the best.
Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!

I have a pit that hasn't pooped in 2+ days. Just gave him 1 tsp of Miralax in a small amount of hamburger meat. Gave him canned pumpkin yesterday, still nothing. Also hasn't pooped after the Miralax either. One more day, vet time.
Im so sorry to hear that 💔 did you have to take him to the vet? I hope hes doing better now 🙏@@niks8521
Always so thankful for your videos, I’ll be trying the flax
great video Dr. Jones. Your fur babies are adorable. Hope it warms up in your part of the world!!
Thanks for watching, Maria! They are great co-hosts!
I love this gentlemen. Makes me have faith in men.
It's good to see a cat video where they actually act like my cats and sometimes it take many attempts and different things to work!
It takes many times to get it:)
Thank you Dr Jones! I can always count on you when my dog is having issues!
this stuff works great, I have found that this stuff mixed with canned pet food over time works. also add as much warm water as possible to it, just as long as they will lap it up. at first you could very possibly need a few cc of pet-emma to jump start the stools temporarily every time you notice a major blockage for how ever many major blockages untill natural bathroom cycle occurs. you can also thin out the pet ema with warm water if you think its to potent. just use the bare minimum pet ema to get stool movement. this has worked for my pet👍
Thanks. It is good for us to see that the kitchen is truly the heart and hearth of the home. Caring and curing are linear and incremental. No need to apologize for the timing. As caretakers we (your audience) have been patiently tending our own families of animals and people. We often regret what we didn't know to do. That's the linear aspect of time. But we can learn better options and make a comforting difference next time.
My cat is shy about eating in front of our dog too--probably worried he will snatch the food out of her mouth. Also that company makes a 'Pumpkin pie mix' that you don't want to get because it has other ingredients like allspice and nutmeg and sugar. Just get the label that says 'organic pumpkin' which only has pumpkin as the ingredient. I found that cooked butternut squash is a laxative for dogs too. Thanks for the informative video, Dr. Jones.
Sent this to my husband and he mixed all 3 together and gave them to her. Hope we didn’t overdue it. My 9-10 lb chihuahua was always going 3 x a day reg size stools but in the last 3 days she has only gone once a day and just a small amount. I’m worried because she eats bugs and anything else she can find. Stuffed dog toys don’t stand a chance around here. I remove the squeakers because she tries to get them out. She loves the squeak but she would try to swallow it I’m sure. Only thing I found that lasts are those small orange balls that have holes so they can breath while holding it in their mouths. First I got her the chuck it blue and orange ball but she had the squeaker out in minutes. Thank heaven for those chuck it small orange air fetch it balls.
Hopefully she is not overloaded with stool softener. We are puppy pad people so she can get there faster.
Your furbaby sound exactly like my Chihuahua Yorkie mix. I've been thinking of ordering a repurposed fire hose toy since they are supposed to be extremely difficult to shred.
Thank you! I have all of these on hand at my house. I have a cat and a dog. I always appreciate ideas that keep life simple for me and my animals. 💕
You're welcome! ❤️
Aloha Dr. Jones, Tula and Murry. Thank you for all that you do💜🐾.
I love Tula!!!! She's Super cute!!!!! Thanks Dr Jones!!! 👍
Dr.Jones to the rescue again!
Sons dog is constipated & I was trying to think what could I give her & I remembered you! I’m going to try this now. Thank you for these wonderful natural ingredients.
Hope your having a great weekend & staying safe.
Let me know how it goes!
Dogs are so trusting. ❤
Your beautiful pets are great co-hosts.
Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to learn about relieving constipation fast try Trentvorty Herbal Protection Theorem (just google it )?
It is a smashing one off product for curing constipation naturally without the headache. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got great success with it.
hello DR Jones , thank you for reminding me that what I am using is what you use too, and to show us how much to give as you are a prof.... (I am an energy healer/teacher / Intuitive born on a farm in EU and can feel what needs to be done but it always helps to share / exchange knowledge with the world) .....

Thanks, Patricia!
This was great, been searching for "digestive constipation home remedies" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Qaneah Neynna Takeover - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
Thank you, I have problems getting things into my very picky cat. Never thought of the obvious, putting it on her paws.
Oh boy Tula got all three remedies in one video! She is going to be........let's just say.......very "productive" today........lol
I put organic canned pumpkin into ice cube trays and freeze them, makes a great frozen treat!!
The Last Unicorn 🤣😱
Holy cow, this is exactly what I needed to know... was going to call the vet about my dog... usually there is no problem... but as of yesterday it started... i'm grabbing the coconut oil now, and will open up the canned pumpkin.... which I was wondering why I had it in the cupboard just sitting... go figure the odds of that. Thank you so very much.
ty
Thank you for the nice information.
Thank you Dr. For a Great video, as always!!
My vets name is dr jones❤ All dr jones are sweethearts! Thank you for helping us afford animal care alot easier
Thanks for the support
my pup is constipated after her surgery yesterday, where she couldn’t eat or drink before, and she didn’t want to eat or poop after! praying that hopefully the pumpkin works for her!
Talk to your vet. Castor Oil is another great option
Is the pup better
Thank You Dr Jones for making this great video. Bright Blessings!!!
Same to you!
My mom has a small poodle that has always hated when you touched her stomach and in the past 6 months she has been having surprise bowel movements. We noticed when we were giving them snacks and she was jumping when all of a sudden she squatted then yelped and a piece started to come out then she tried to run off and hide. We giver her pumpkin with no changes in the texture.
Dr.... Im very surprised you missed the fact that your cat wasn't eating the pumpkin because he was just concerned about tula's interest in the pumpkin that was a social issue and I'd imagine it's just cuz you were watching the camera and thinking about making the video so I apologize if I'm pointing out the obvious and I don't intend to embarrass you, because I love what you do and I'm very proud of you for taking the stand you did I worked on the veterinary industry for 4 years and I know darn well you're doing the right thing. So anyhow I just was actually making this comment to defend the use of pumpkin to make sure that nobody misinterprets that slight to the 🧡 pumpkin
Aloha Dr. Jones, you are a hoot🤣! Thank you for this excellent and informative video. You are so kind. Murray was sort of spying on you at one point, he’s soooo cat😻 🐾✌🏼👏🏼.
Adorable in all ways! Thanks for the advice!
So thankful I found your videos! My puppy goat LOVES PUMPKIN and it works!
Thank you for this video. Your fantastic!
Welcome
They are so cute!
:-)
Great remedies! Thank you!👍🏼🙂🐕
Thanks for watching!
Oh good my cat is having issues. I am going to try pumpkin on the foot. She's picky so she won't eat it on purpose. My dog loves it though
Thank you Dr. Jones, going to try the coconut oil today. My Yorkie hasn't gone for a day. He does like Pumpkin, tried that yesterday. Hope this works 🙏
Welcome. Let me know how it goes!
Hi Dr. Jones, was able to get Gizmo to consume Pumpkin Puree by warming it up and mixing a little honey in it. I coaxed him by putting some on my finger, then some in my palm( in larger amount). He ate it all. I did this for 3 days as he slowly started to empty out all the poop. In addition to giving him fresh chicken broth only for his food. Fortunately, he is trained for indoors/&outdoors so he can "go" whenever he has to day night.
FYI, I've also started to give him 3 drops of fluid extract
Black Walnut and Wormwood because I found a rather long white Worm in his second bowel movement. I saw this video, on RUclips, by Dan Scott on "How to naturally
treat a Dog with worms". I give him 3 drops per day for 2 weeks, then nothing for 1 week, then 3 drops for one more week. After seeing a few more small worms, I'm happy to say i haven't seen anymore. But, I'm following the regiment to ensure that he is completely Worm free.
As always, your advice is welcomed. Thank you😊.
PS: I have another dog(Havanese) whom I am also giving the Worm detox to clean him out too.
You good man, Thank you.
Tennessee, USA
Thank you so much Dr. Jones, my boy hasn't gone in 3 days . He has this bacteria in his GI Tract,clostridium, I've been giving him boiled chicken and chicken broth. Today, Im supposed to recieve an antibiotic called tylosin( ordered it from Chewy 3 days ago! Ugh. I hope it will help him
In the mean time, I've already given him some Coconut Oil,and some Pumpkin Puree. Will give more twice today. 1 soft chew from Naturvet called Stool Ease for the last 3 days( including today). Waiting to celebrate a HUGE BOWEL MOVEMENT 😂
And how is going?
@@malgorzatakowalska4061 , Lucky is doing great. The antibiotic helped him. He's eating and going to the bathroom just fine. Thank you for asking 🌻
Hi Dr, my cat has been battling to go the last 2 days. The 2 days before that she was vomited up 2x quite large and compact hairballs. I have been treating her with pumpkin and coconut oil the last 2 days. I just boiled the pumpkin until soft and crushed it until it was smooth. My cat is a fussy eater so won't ear any of them alone. She has been on a raw diet for the last year and a half so I have been cutting the chicken, chicken hearts & chicken gizzards very fine and adding the smooth pumpkin with the blood. I have also mixed a small amount of coconut oil with just blood so she gets some of that oil. I have also tried rubbing some coconut oil on he front legs as when I put on her paws they get full of soil when she to try relieve herself. So can we do punkin and coconut oil on the same day and is what I'm doing correct? How long does it take to normally sort out constipation? Thank you 🙂
Adorable pets! Im trying these!
Flax seed doesn't have solid evidence of bioavailability in dogs and it contains a form of cyanide not to mention its high in fiber which could contribute to constipation and upset stomach. Pumpkin is great but if your dog really needs to poop I would skip the pumpkin or only does a small amount. Coconut oil however is the optimal choice. I gave my dog some fatty chicken on top of his normal food with the skin mixed a small amount of pumpkin and decent dose of olive oil. I did this after priming his empty stomach with some olive oil. And it didn't take long for his poop to come out and though slimmer than normal looked overall like a healthy consistency after the really hard backed up poo came out 1st. So do what you want ...OR check and question what information you consume like I do and try your best to do what's best not just for your dog but yourself and family!
Long story short oil's like Coconut and olive are best for constipation in my experience .Good luck to you all and I hope yalls dogs live long and prosper ❤!
My dogs get a spoon of ground flax everyday with their raw diet. Fruit and vegs, and bone broth are added and they seem to be in top notch health. Raw ground meat from the local butcher at $1 pound. Can't beat it. We free feed kibble, too. Be sure to add Dr Jones supplement! 2 of my dogs have allergic reactions to coconut oil, so that's out of the question for them, but w their diet they have no problem of constipation. Keep knockin' on wood!
Very helpful, thank you
You're welcome.
I cook pumpkin with chicken for my cats they adore it
Hi Dr. Jones we have a 15 yr old Pekingese "Lion Puppy" and he's developed some constipation the past year or so and I wanted to ask why the Coconut Oil is in solid form and is it okay to give as oil oil? I've been giving him 2 tea spoons of Pumpkin and two tea spoons of Olive Oil it's definitely helped but I want to try the coconut oil just wanted to make sure if it's safe as oil? I soak Peppers chicken in the olive oil when I give it to him. Thank you so much for helping. 💜🐾
Thanks Doc
I literally just gave my dog pumpkin with a very lean turkey nothing else because his stool was loose. Then my cat opened the door to where I keep my treats and he ate a bunch of air dried turkey neck treats and idk what else now he's constipated and your telling me to give more of what I originally gave him for loose stool which clearly seemed to harden his stool. I'm sure the treats made it much worse but my dogs barely pooped in the last day and a half so I need to get him cleaned out.
When the sistuation is so serious just give him miralax,dulcolax.
However, for everyday use, make linseed flex seed you boil the grains briefly over low heat, then when they cool down, use a syringe to take only the jelly, without the seeds.
Thank you Dr Hero Jones !
You're welcome! 😊
Those all great remedies, but is there also pressure points for gas bloating in dogs? To help pups with collics?
Thank you for all you do 💘
You are so welcome
Thank you doc., you are the best!
Thank you sir
So should they not eat? Just take these remedies twice a day?
My pup gets pumpkin every day. She loves it but it doesn’t work as a laxative for her.
Same for mine. Doesn’t work.
Thank you doc. I'm giving my chihuahua some coconut now. She's been miserable with constipation again. Hopefully it so the trick.
I hope it helps.
Unrelated question, but seems like best place to ask: I have adopted rescue dogs my whole life. However, I have always dreamt of a French bulldog. I'm scared to try and find one because I'm not sure what the best way to avoid sketchy breeders, puppy mills, etc.
Our dog is getting old and I'd like to get him a calm companion. I am disabled, so definitely need a dog that doesn't want a ton of running and such. Any advice?
Thank you!
You’re welcome! Hope it helped.

Good info
Both of my one mouth puppies haven't pooped 4 days . And before the 4 days was 5 days . When they do poop it's not hard is very soft . Can I use this method ?
Do you have to worry about the amount of fat - my kitty seems to have chronic constipation so I think I need something long term. Does psyllium husk work?
Thanks Dr😘 for your wonderfull RECEIPES for BEAUTIFULL dogs 👏😁
I've been giving Skit's my older cat your ultimate feline since 2018 plus fluids for renal failure, I had the maintenance guy and 6 teen's bring up a refrigerator Monday Angel who has been constipated for years,I give her Doctors best hairball, digestive aid & fish oil capsule she hid for hours and I noticed she wasn't eating & she loves water and drinks it for 5min. But I saw she wasn't drinking but licking her lips as if she wanted it but was nauseous so this was Thur when I saw this I took her in immediately the x-ray showed only 1 lung first he said it's possible it's a hernia her white count was high then he comes out with the other Doctors think it's agressive cancer brought on by stress! A 600$ ultrasound would confirm a hernia & 2,000 surgery if she was stable, I'm a disabled Senior and I would have to take out another loan! Could a lung collapse from straining to poop? She's in extreme distress and not getting enough oxygen. I don't understand cuz she was running around the house up the cat tree and back in the front room? I'm looking for an idea since a collapsed lung doesn't inflate by itself and I don't trust any animal hospital that gets commission on services plus he ran a 153$ thyroid test which was separate from the CBC and not necessary since he already saw the x-ray! I'm now giving her capsules that I make with the ultimate feline formula and syringe feeding pate food he prescribed zeniquen and I switched it to orbax I think zeniquen is too strong for her I told him what I was going to do and he was upset, any suggestions would help with my decision as I don't want her to suffer 🙏🙏
Is mineral oil safe for dogs? If so how much for a 13lb Shih Tzu?
I dont understand AT ALL how more fiber is the best option for constipation? Everyone knows high fiber can cause constipation though it can clean them out in the long run seems like a sub par option that could take awhile to work?
All three work for horses too!
Will this help a dog with an abdominal tumor if that could be the cause of constipation?
Thank you thank you!!
You’re welcome!
Hey thanks doc 👍
You’re welcome! Please feel free to share the video. 🙏🏼
When you put pumpkin on the cat’s paw I was sure he would flick it off onto the ceiling or something. That would be a very cat thing to do.
Can't we give regular pumpkin instead of the canned one ?
Thank you for the cute and funny video!😂😍
Thanks for watching!
How long does it usually take for coconut oil to work?
Why not bacon grease mixed with other of your listed items to hide taste of pumpkin etc
My dog is a female rottweiler her stool is grey black soft but she is picking on her food what home remedy to give her to start eating
Canned kernel corn is a no-no for small dogs. Mine couldn't poop for five days!
Do u choose one or two of these a day 🙂 do I give em pumpkin and flaxseed the same day at these amounts.. thankful for all that u do
Generally one or the other
Hello, doctor! I just got a 7 week old puppy (Pomeranian/yorkie/frenchie mix)from a woman on Craigslist. I had an almost 2 hour drive back home and so far my tiny tiny puppy hasn't pooped since I've brought her home. She has only gone pee once so far. How much of either of those do I give her?
What about slipper elm bark
Doctor my cat is constipated since 2 days but she’s eating well, shes straining alot and nothing is coming out
can you give this to your dog on a regular basis in order to keep them going?
Yes
Can I give coconut oil daily for a long period of time or maybe once a week to solve hairball issues? Can I do this with the seed and pumpkin or should I just choose one per day or a few times per week? My cat Felix just had a vet x-ray and he was so stuffed up. He has a hard time going..every once and awhile.hes so much better now but I want to keep him healing and we'll and keep Mia we'll also💕jenn
Yes

Our dog had bloody stools and then diarrhea for a few days and after a colitis diagnosis she’s suddenly stopped going for two days. The odd thing is, she’s ravenous. She acts like she’s starving and wants to eat constantly. We feed her twice a day and that’s all. This dog always had perfect stools and went regularly three times a day and since this bout with colitis she won’t even try to go. Now that her stomach is settling down I’m wondering if it’s normal not to have any movement at all? This is so scary and strange.
Dr I need to do Anima I know my disabled dog now is constipated and she has cancer
Guyssss try non flavor oatmeal... The traditional oatmeal helped my cattt ..this is legit... Add some water too if ever your cat doesn't drink water.
ty
Can dog takes stool softener for human🤷🏻♀️? Thanks doctor 👍🏼
Hoping the coconut oil works. Dog swallowed a knuckle off of a beef rib...I think. Been showing signs of constipation for 18 hours.
Oh that cat lol... cool. My cats always want what the dogs are having and vice versa, guess I'm lucky..
I knew about the coconut oil and flax seed (I consume it almost everyday myself as well), and I also believe it leaves them with a shiny coat. Didn't know about the pumpkin though.
Thanks once again Doc. Cheers :)
