HEROSAN – Beach holiday with your dog? Seawater and travel stress can put strain on the stomach. entoVITAL Stop&Go naturally supports your dog while on the go.

What Happens When Dogs Drink Seawater?

Many dog owners know the situation: as soon as the dog is at the beach, they curiously try the salty seawater. Seawater contains around 35 grams of salt per litre — much more than your dog is used to.

Common observations after drinking seawater include:

  • increased thirst
  • drinking more fresh water than usual
  • softer stool or diarrhoea
  • occasional discomfort

These reactions can happen because the high salt content draws water from the body and may affect digestion.

Why Dog Owners Use Gut Support Before Travelling

Many experienced dog owners choose to support their dog’s digestion before going on holiday. The idea behind it: a well-prepared dog may cope better with new situations.

Typical holiday challenges for sensitive dog stomachs include:

  • unfamiliar water, such as tap water or seawater
  • travel stress and new surroundings
  • changes in daily routine
  • different temperatures and humidity

A gut support routine can help promote the natural balance in your dog’s digestive system.

7 Practical Tips for a Beach Holiday with Your Dog

Here is how to make your beach holiday more relaxed:

  1. Always bring fresh water
    Make sure your dog is less tempted to drink seawater in the first place.

  2. Stick to the usual diet
    Holidays are not the best time for food experiments — familiar food is usually the safest choice.

  3. Pack a travel kit
    entoVITAL Stop&Go belongs in a well-prepared dog travel kit, together with Dragon’s Blood.

  4. Travel calmly
    Plan enough breaks during longer car journeys.

  5. Give your dog time to settle in
    Let your dog explore the new surroundings calmly.

  6. Look for shade
    Make sure your dog has enough cool places to rest.

  7. Stay attentive
    Watch how your dog reacts to the new impressions and environment.

When Should You See a Vet?

A visit to the vet is recommended if you notice any of the following signs:

  • diarrhoea lasting longer than one day
  • refusal to eat or drink
  • severe or repeated vomiting
  • unusual weakness or lethargy

Important: entoVITAL Stop&Go is a feed supplement and can complement a balanced diet, but it cannot replace it. If problems persist, please contact your veterinary practice.
