Did you know a lot of dogs adopted from shelters bounce back to kennels faster than you’d hope? It’s not their wagging tails or goofy grins—it’s the diarrhea drama. Picture a scruffy Podenco stepping into your home, all wide-eyed and hopeful, only to leave a runny mess on day two. New food, a new crib, and a whirlwind of change can turn their guts into a rollercoaster—think sloppy stools from switching kibble, stress-fueled rumbles in that little Chihuahua tummy, or a nervous Pug painting the floor after a week. Shelters see it too often: adopters return these pups when the mess gets overwhelming, breaking hearts on both ends.
That’s why we’re huge fans of giving every dog a shot at a happy home. At K9 Laboratories, we love supporting those shaky starts with our Gut Health collection. Whether it’s a rescue Whippet adjusting to a steady meal or a Podenco calming their belly after a big life flip, we’re here to help those tummies settle. A balanced gut means less chaos—fewer midnight cleanups, happier pups, and a forever home that sticks. Every dog deserves that fairy-tale ending, and we’re cheering them on, one wag at a time!
