No dog owner likes to see their pup struggling with diarrhea. It’s unpleasant, concerning, and often leaves you wondering what caused it—especially if it seems tied to something your dog ate. When it becomes a pattern, it’s natural to start questioning their diet.
The truth is, diarrhea in dogs is fairly common and can be triggered by several things, including:
Mild cases often pass on their own. But when diarrhea becomes persistent or severe, it’s time to call the vet—and take a closer look at what your dog is eating.
Like people, dogs tend to do best with bland, easily digested foods when their stomachs are upset. That’s why most vets recommend a gentle, simplified diet during recovery.
Foods commonly used to support sensitive stomachs include:
It makes sense that a food designed for sensitive stomachs would include similar ingredients—and be made using a process that doesn’t lead to bloating or digestive stress. That’s exactly the thinking behind Nextrition cold-pressed dog food.
Nextrition was developed specifically for dogs with sensitive stomachs in mind. Each recipe is carefully crafted to support digestion and reduce the risk of upset, without sacrificing nutrition or flavor.
We use ingredients like gently cooked meats, nutrient-dense vegetables, and easy-to-digest grains, all chosen for their role in supporting gut health. Then, instead of using high heat (which can damage nutrients and flavor), we cook at low temperatures before cold-pressing everything into soft, bite-sized pieces.
The result? A food that breaks down easily in the stomach, delivers more nutritional value per bite, and doesn’t swell like traditional kibble.
For a dog with chronic or sensitive digestion, the last thing you want is a heavy food that’s hard to break down. Nextrition’s cold-pressed process avoids the bloating and digestive burden often caused by conventional kibble—making it a strong choice for dogs dealing with diarrhea or frequent stomach upset.
It’s also packed with naturally retained vitamins and minerals, which helps keep your dog’s energy up while their gut settles.
If your dog is experiencing ongoing diarrhea or digestive discomfort, it’s always a good idea to check in with your vet. But once you’ve ruled out more serious causes, switching to a more easily digested food can make a world of difference.
We believe Nextrition is one of the best options out there for dogs with sensitive stomachs—and many vets agree. It’s nutritionally complete, gentle on digestion, and made with real ingredients your dog will love.
A happy gut is a healthy dog. And that starts with the right food.
Dog food delivery has come a long way. These days, convenience isn’t just for people—it’s for pups, too. With a Nextrition subscription, you can have high-quality, cold-pressed dog food delivered to your door on your schedule. But what if your dog struggles with excess gas or digestive issues? Is subscription still a good idea?
Absolutely—if you’re feeding the right food.
At Nextrition, we’ve designed our recipes to be gentle on sensitive stomachs from the start. Our cold-pressed process keeps nutrients intact while avoiding the bloating and gas that often come from conventional kibble.
Unlike heavily processed foods, our formulas:
We also carefully select ingredients that support a healthy microbiome. A balanced gut helps your dog digest food more efficiently—and when digestion works properly, gas isn’t usually a problem.
Traditional kibble is cooked at high heat, which damages the nutritional integrity of ingredients. It’s then mixed with additives and preservatives to restore flavor and shelf life—things your dog doesn’t need and may not tolerate well.
It also tends to expand in the stomach, which can increase pressure and trigger gas or even vomiting. If your dog routinely deals with bloating or gas after meals, that swelling could be part of the issue.
Cold-pressed dog food behaves differently. It doesn’t swell and starts breaking down faster, which means less stress on the gut and fewer uncomfortable symptoms.
We know high-quality cold-pressed food isn’t always easy to find in stores. That’s why we’ve made it simple to get Nextrition delivered straight to your door—with or without a subscription.

Let’s be honest—nobody loves being around a gassy dog. But while it’s unpleasant for you, it’s probably just as uncomfortable for your pup. The good news? Excess gas usually has a root cause. If you can figure out what’s behind the stink, you can help your dog feel better.
There are many potential reasons a dog might have flatulence issues, but most of them fall into four categories. Here’s what to look out for:
While some dogs have an iron gut, a dog’s digestive system doesn’t do well when introduced to new foods too quickly. Slowly transitioning a dog's diet is crucial to avoid digestive issues like diarrhea, vomiting, and excessive gas. A sudden switch of their diet or feeding too many treats at once can disrupt their digestive system, leading to uncomfortable symptoms like bloating or foul-smelling gas.
Ensuring that treats only make up 10% of their daily calories or gradually changing their food over 7 to 10 days allows their gut to adjust. This helps your dog’s gut microbiome to adapt to the new food, reducing the risk of gastrointestinal issues. A dog with an extra sensitive gut may need to transition slower than the typical 7-10 days.
One of the most common causes of gas in dogs comes from ingredients in their food. Some ingredients are harder to digest than others, and they can ferment in the gut—causing all kinds of issues, including flatulence. Every dog is different and some can more easily digest some common culprits while struggling with others.
Here are a few dietary culprits to be aware of:
And while high-fiber foods have their place, too much fiber from ingredients like beans or peas can also lead to more gas than you’d like.
It’s not always the food itself—sometimes it’s how your dog eats. Dogs that eat too fast tend to swallow excess air, which leads to gas buildup. If your dog pants heavily while eating (especially after exercise) or seems to inhale meals rather than chew, that could be part of the problem.
Using a slow feeder or breaking meals into smaller portions can make a big difference.
Sometimes, gas is just a symptom of something deeper. Dogs with chronic digestive problems might be dealing with food allergies, inflammatory bowel disease, or even intestinal parasites. If your dog is overweight or not very active, they are at a higher risk for chronic gas, regardless of their diet. If your dog’s gas is persistent and accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, or weight loss, it could be a good idea to visit your vet.
Start by keeping a food journal. Track what your dog eats, how quickly they eat, and when gas tends to be the worst. That can help you identify patterns and give your vet helpful info if it comes to that.
You might also consider switching to a food that’s designed for sensitive stomachs. A well-balanced, easily digestible food can make a big difference.
That’s why we created Nextrition. Our cold-pressed recipes are crafted with natural ingredients and no unnecessary fillers or byproducts—just whole foods that support healthy digestion and improve gut health. If your dog struggles with gas or digestive discomfort, we think you’ll find our recipes a welcome change.
If your dog is throwing up kibble, it’s understandable to feel concerned. Vomiting is never something to ignore, especially if it becomes a pattern. Sometimes, it’s linked to a larger health issue—other times, it’s simply a reaction to food that isn’t sitting well. In many cases, it could be a sign of food-related bloating, which might be eased by switching to something easier to digest.
Let’s explore what could be going on—and when it might be time to try a new food.
Gastric dilation (commonly referred to as bloating) occurs when a dog’s stomach fills with gas and expands. This can be uncomfortable at best, and dangerous at worst—so knowing the warning signs is key.
Look out for:
Some dogs may vomit during the early stages of bloating, especially if they’ve recently eaten kibble as it will usually float and expand in the stomach before it starts breaking down properly. If you notice several of these symptoms together, it’s time to call your vet right away.
Not all bloating is related to a medical emergency. Sometimes, it’s simply a reaction to the food your dog is eating.
Dry kibble is a common culprit. Many kibble recipes include fillers, artificial flavors, and added preservatives that can be hard for some dogs to digest. On top of that, kibble will swell in the stomach not long after it comes in contact with moisture. For dogs with sensitive stomachs, this can lead to discomfort, gas, and eventually vomiting.
At Nextrition, we make premium cold-pressed dog food with dogs like yours in mind. Our food is made from natural ingredients, pressed at low temperatures to preserve nutrients, and formed into nutrient-dense nuggets that won’t expand in the stomach. It breaks down easily, supports digestion, and is a better fit for dogs prone to bloating or food sensitivities.
No fillers. No swelling. Just real food that’s easier on your dog’s system.
If your dog throws up occasionally, food may not be the only factor. Other possibilities include:
In any case, it’s a good idea to talk to your veterinarian, especially if the vomiting happens often or is paired with other symptoms.
If your dog frequently throws up kibble, it could be their way of telling you the food isn’t agreeing with them. Making a change to something more digestible—like Nextrition cold-pressed food—could be the first step in helping her feel better.
And if you’re ever unsure, your vet is always a great place to start.
We get it—cold-pressed dog food sounds a little different. And anytime something new comes along, it’s natural to feel skeptical. It doesn’t come in a can, and it doesn’t look like traditional kibble, so is it really dog food?
Absolutely. In fact, we’d argue it’s more real than the average bag of kibble or can of wet food. At Nextrition, we cold-press our recipes to preserve natural nutrition and flavor, using simple, natural ingredients that dogs love and thrive on. Our recipes use over 3 lbs. of real meat in every 4.5 lbs. of food.
Let’s clear up one common misconception: cold-pressed isn’t an ingredient—it’s a process. And it’s quite different from how traditional kibble is made.
Most kibble is cooked at high temperatures, which destroys a lot of the nutrients in the ingredients. To make up for that, manufacturers spray on liquified by-products for flavor and add in extra vitamins and preservatives. The end product might be shelf-stable, but it’s far from we consider natural.
Cold-pressed dog food is just that. At Nextrition, we gently press our natural ingredients at low temperatures into bite-sized pieces. The result? Food that keeps more of its natural vitamins, minerals, and taste—without needing added fillers or sprayed on flavor.
While high heat processing is relatively inexpensive and can make lots of “dog food” super quick, it also strips away much of what makes food nourishing.
With cold pressing, we retain more of what your dog actually needs—from the nutrients that support healthy digestion and immunity to the natural aromas that keep tails wagging at mealtime. No preservatives. No liquified by-product flavor boosters. Just real, honest ingredients.
A diet more minimally processed than cold-pressed food is a raw diet. If you’re feeding your dog fresh-cut meats, fish, and raw produce—great. But we also know that’s not realistic for every household.
That’s where Nextrition fits in. We offer the nutritional integrity of a raw diet with the convenience of dry food. It’s shelf-stable, easy to store, and simple to serve—without sacrificing quality or nutrition.
We understand. The best way to find out if cold-pressed dog food is right for your pup is to try it. Purchase a trial pack, watch your dog’s reaction, and see the difference for yourself.
Yes, cold-pressed dog food is real natural food. And once your dog gives it a try, we think you’ll agree—it might just be better than what you thought dog food could be.
If you’re like most dog owners, giving your dog a treat is one of the highlights of your day. It’s a simple way to show love—and let’s be honest, those tail wags and happy eyes make it hard to resist. But while treats are a fun part of your dog’s routine, they’re meant to complement your dog’s daily nutrition, not replace it.
That’s why we created Nextrition Tummy Treats—gut-friendly dog treats made with natural ingredients and designed to support healthy digestion. If your dog has a sensitive stomach, these treats are a gentle and rewarding choice.
Not all treats are created equal. Some are packed with artificial additives, fillers, or ingredients that don’t offer much nutritional benefit. The best treats serve a purpose—whether it’s supporting digestion, delivering extra nutrients, or rewarding positive behavior.
Look for treats that contain:
At Nextrition, we designed Tummy Treats with sensitive dogs in mind—using whole foods like pumpkin, rice, honey, and bone broth. They’re tasty, but more importantly, they’re supportive of gut health.
Treats are best when they’re used with a plan. Random snacking might be fun in the moment, but over time, it can lead to too many calories or throw off a balanced diet. Here are a few smart ways to work treats into your dog’s routine:
A healthy diet is about balance. Treats should account for no more than 10% of your dog’s total daily calories. The rest should come from complete, nutrient-rich meals—whether you feed Nextrition cold-pressed food or another high-quality option.
So yes, give your dog a treat. Celebrate the good moments. Use them to reinforce healthy habits. But also choose treats that give something back. Something that supports digestion, adds nutrition, and helps your dog feel their best every day.
If your dog has a sensitive stomach or just loves a treat with real flavor, try
Nextrition Tummy Treats. Healthy, gentle, and made with love.
Kibble has been a staple in dog nutrition for decades. It’s affordable, convenient, and widely available, making it a popular choice among pet owners. However, many dogs struggle to digest kibble, often leading to issues like vomiting whole pieces, bloating, and stomach discomfort.
If you’ve ever noticed your dog throwing up undigested kibble an hour or so after mealtime, the reason could be linked to how kibble is made and its impact on digestion. Let’s break down the key reasons why kibble can be hard on a dog’s stomach.
Unlike cold-pressed dog food, which is gently processed to retain nutrients, kibble is extruded using high heat and pressure. This process:
When digestion is impaired, food doesn’t break down properly in the stomach, leading to vomiting, bloating, and digestive discomfort.
Many kibble brands contain low-quality ingredients to cut costs. These often include:
By contrast, Nextrition cold-pressed dog food uses natural, high-quality ingredients that support better digestion and nutrient absorption.
Kibble is a hard, dry food with a puffed texture, meaning that it will float in water and in your dog’s stomach. This presents challenges because:
Cold-pressed dog food is more dense so it will sink to the bottom of the stomach, a more comfortable position, and quickly breakdown so the digestive system isn’t overworked.
Some dogs have food sensitivities or intolerances that make kibble even harder to digest.
These dogs may experience:
Because cold-pressed dog food is made with natural ingredients, lower heat processing, and no artificial ingredients, it’s often better tolerated by dogs with sensitive stomachs.
If your dog frequently vomits undigested kibble, experiences bloating, or struggles with digestion, it might be time to consider a better alternative.
Nextrition cold-pressed dog food is:
Switching to
cold-pressed food could be the solution your dog needs for a happier, healthier digestive system. If kibble is giving your dog trouble, it might be time to make the switch!
Most dogs love to eat, and some will devour anything in front of them. While treats can be a great supplement to a healthy diet, dog owners should know that even the type of treats they choose can impact their dog's gut health. That’s why we emphasize gut-healthy treats.
Like any other food, treats can have a positive or negative effect on digestion. A dog’s gut health is determined by the balance of microorganisms in their digestive system. Just like with humans, maintaining this balance is key to proper digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall well-being.
A dog's gut is filled with beneficial bacteria that help break down food and extract nutrients. However, it doesn’t take much to throw this balance off. Even minor dietary changes can disrupt digestion and lead to issues like bloating, diarrhea, or constipation.
That’s why experts recommend gradually transitioning from one dog food to another. Making sudden changes can shock the digestive system. The same principle applies to treats—what seems like a small snack can significantly impact gut health, for better or worse.
Not all dog treats are created equal. Many commercial treats contain ingredients that can negatively affect digestion. Here’s what to watch out for:
If you want to support your dog's digestion, the best approach is choosing treats made with natural ingredients and minimal processing. Avoid treats that contain unnecessary fillers, byproducts, or artificial additives.
Dog treats that promote gut health are formulated with digestive-friendly ingredients that help maintain a balanced microbiome. When your dog’s gut is in balance, their overall health improves, leading to better digestion, a stronger immune system, and increased energy levels.
By being mindful of what you feed your dog—including treats—you can help them stay healthy and happy. After all, treats should nourish your pet, not just satisfy their cravings.
Our
chicken and
beef tummy treats are made with beneficial ingredients like sweet potato, rice and bone broth to promote a healthy gut.
A dog experiencing excess gas can be an unpleasant companion to be around. Between flatulence, bloating, and discomfort, excess gas can make both you and your dog miserable. But did you know that it could be a sign of poor gut health?
Like humans, dogs thrive when their digestive system maintains a healthy balance of gut microbes. When that balance is off, digestion suffers, and one of the most common symptoms is excessive gas—often leading to bloating, discomfort, and frequent flatulence.
Excess gas isn't always the direct result of poor gut health. Other factors could be at play, such as:
If your dog's gas is persistent or paired with other symptoms, it's best to consult a veterinarian to rule out underlying health issues.
If your dog's excess gas is linked to poor gut health, you may notice additional symptoms, such as:
If your dog's only symptom is flatulence, a simple diet change might be the solution. However, if multiple symptoms occur together, a trip to the vet is a good idea.
If diet is the culprit, switching to cold-pressed dog food by Nextrition could be an easy and effective fix. Here's why:
If your dog regularly experiences excess gas, take note of any other symptoms and evaluate their diet. If bloating, flatulence, or digestive discomfort is an issue, switching to a gut-healthy, cold-pressed food could help.
If you're looking for a natural, easily digestible, and gut-friendly option, Nextrition is a great choice. Why not give it a try? Your dog's stomach—and your nose—will thank you.
As more pet parents become aware of food allergies in dogs, we often hear this question: "Do you have chicken-free dog food?" The answer is yes! At Nextrition, we understand that not all dogs tolerate chicken well, which is why we offer nutritionally complete, chicken-free recipes that are just as delicious and nourishing.
Finding the right food for a dog with chicken allergies can be frustrating, especially with so many kibble options containing chicken or chicken byproducts. That’s why we’ve formulated three protein-rich, chicken-free recipes—beef, lamb, and salmon—so your pup can enjoy mealtime without discomfort.
While chicken is a great protein source for many dogs, some develop allergies or sensitivities to it over time. Signs of a chicken allergy may include:
If your dog experiences any of these symptoms, switching to a single-protein, chicken-free diet may help. Your veterinarian can also recommend an elimination diet to confirm if chicken is the culprit.
At Nextrition, we take food sensitivities seriously. That’s why we make cold-pressed, chicken-free dog food with real, high-quality proteins like beef, lamb, and salmon. Unlike traditional kibble, which is cooked at high temperatures that strip away nutrients, our low-heat process preserves flavor, nutrients, and digestibility.
Each of our recipes is:
And because our food breaks down easily in the stomach without swelling, it’s gentle on digestion—helping to reduce bloating and discomfort.
If your dog has been struggling with allergies, discomfort, or digestive upset, a chicken-free diet might be the solution. With Nextrition’s cold-pressed dog food, you don’t have to sacrifice nutrition, taste, or quality—just healthier, happier mealtimes for your pup.
