Causes of constipation in dogs:
1. If you feed your dog some dry and hard food for a long time, it will easily lead to constipation in your dog.
2. If the dog accidentally eats foreign objects, such as plastic, wood chips, etc., causing intestinal obstruction, constipation will occur.
3. If the dog is too obese and accumulates fat on the abdominal wall, resulting in poor abdominal muscle contraction ability, constipation will occur.
4. If the dog swallows too much of its own hair, causing accumulation of hair in the body, it will affect defecation.
5. If the dog lacks exercise for a long time, resulting in weakened digestive function, it will cause constipation.
6. If the dog does not like to drink water, drinking too little water will cause the feces to be too dry, resulting in constipation.
7. If your dog has a tumor on its abdomen, anal injury, or pelvic disease, it will also cause constipation. You should take your dog to the pet hospital for treatment in time.
