Dog owners, we've all been there – the dreaded "poonami" that strikes without warning, often in the middle of the night. That's exactly what prompted this candid conversation about canine digestive health after Lauren's co-host Linda spent a night up every 90 minutes with her tiny puppy Bobble.

This practical guide walks you through what to do when digestive disaster strikes. We share our emergency protocol using products like Rescue-K9 Rapid Support and demonstrate exactly how to administer it to reluctant dogs (hint: hold their chin up after placing the paste in their cheek pocket). You'll learn to distinguish between situations requiring veterinary care versus those you can handle at home, focusing on your dog's overall demeanor and energy as key indicators.

Beyond emergency care, we reveal our daily routines for building resilient gut health through consistent probiotic supplementation. Discover why "naughty but nice" dogs particularly benefit from gut support, how stress impacts digestive function, and the powerful role of fermented foods like kefir and apple cider vinegar with "mother." We even share our first-hand experiences with explosive clean-ups and how proper preparation prevents these situations from becoming full-blown crises.

Whether you're currently dealing with a digestive emergency or wanting to prevent future ones, this episode gives you actionable strategies backed by our years of experience. Use code "HAPPYTUMMY" for £10 off at the A-OK9 store and build your own pet first aid kit today. Remember – preparation is everything when it comes to maintaining your dog's digestive health!
