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 eats foreign objects by mistake, such as plastic, wood chips, etc., causing intestinal obstruction, constipation will occur.
3. If the dog is too obese and the abdominal wall fat accumulates, resulting in poor contraction ability of the abdominal muscles, constipation will occur.
4. If the dog swallows too much of its own hair, resulting in the accumulation of hair in the body, it will affect defecation.
5. If the dog lacks exercise for a long time, the digestive function is weakened, which will cause constipation.
