What do you do for a dog that has constapation?

Dried food is good for a dog but they must be given extra water. My bother-in-law is a gamekeeper he feeds his dogs only dried food with at least a cup of hot water to moisten. You say you feed him nuts. This will bind him no matter how much water he takes. Even unsalted are they a healthy option for a dog? Please note that many foods, medicines and shampoo etc. are fine for us humans but could be lethal for our pets. It would be better for any pet to be fed one type of food - dried or moist perhaps the latter could be a treat. Please omit the nut treats and see for yourself if this is the cause of his constipation. Good luck Yia

Put a teaspoon or two of mineral oil in his food. You can find it in the laxative section of your store. That should do it. If needed you can give him more. Make sure your ready to let him out cuz he's gonna need to go out! If he doesn't go he maybe blocked with garbage or a toy if he chews on stuff, then go to your vet. you can not use olive, canola or vegetable oil because the body absorbs those and will not act as a laxative.

maybe drizzle a little olive or canola oil on food, tined food is always a good way to go for loose stools

i would take him to the vet..to be sure there is nothing else wrong...
