HOOK
[Close-up of a dog sniffing its bowl, then turning away] If your dog suddenly has an upset stomach, the problem might be in the bowl—not the vet visit you’re expecting.
KEY POINT 1
[Show bag of dog food, then a hand reading the label] First, don’t switch foods too fast. A sudden change can trigger vomiting or diarrhea. Most dogs do better when you mix the old and new food over 7 to 10 days.
KEY POINT 2
[B-roll of treats being poured into a handful] Second, treat calories add up. Too many snacks, table scraps, or chews can throw off your dog’s digestion and make it harder to tell what’s causing the problem.
KEY POINT 3
[Owner comparing kibble sizes and checking the feeding scoop] Third, measure meals instead of eyeballing them. Overfeeding can lead to loose stools, and some dogs are sensitive to richer formulas or sudden portion changes.
KEY POINT 4
[Veterinarian checking a dog, then cut to a water bowl] Fourth, if stomach issues keep happening, look at the full picture: water intake, recent meds, and any new foods. If your dog is vomiting repeatedly, seems tired, or won’t eat, call your vet.
