Dog soup – or soup for dogs? What on earth for?! If you’re asking yourself the same question or even chuckling at the term “dog soup,” I have a few surprises for you. Because soup for dogs comes with a whole range of benefits and offers a great alternative for healthy as well as sick dogs – all year round.

Soup for Dogs: Benefits and Uses at a Glance

Dog soup can quickly warm your dog from the inside during winter, while helping to cool them down in summer. It’s ideal for gastrointestinal problems or tooth pain. And it’s even suitable if your dog needs to lose weight – or gain weight.

Dog soup:

• is available ready-made in stores
• can easily be prepared at home
• is ideal for dental problems
• can help with gastrointestinal illnesses
• supports weight loss
• helps prevent snow gastritis or reduces its severity
• helps with weight gain
• cools down in summer
• warms up in winter
• can help with loss of appetite and support recovery

On top of that, it’s incredibly easy to prepare – even if you don’t cook very often.

Buying Dog Soup

You can find dog soup, dog smoothies, and dog drinks in pet stores. Buying soup for dogs is quick and easy. There’s no effort involved, it adds variety to your dog’s meals, and it’s a great option when you’re on the go or on vacation.

Unfortunately, there’s one downside: the selection of ready-made dog soups is small. And not every product is suitable for every dog or every need.

Making Soup for Dogs Yourself

A warm stew in winter, a cool cucumber soup in summer, Moro’s carrot soup for digestive issues, and not to forget a light vegetable soup for dogs that need to lose weight. When you prepare soup for your dog yourself, you have a wide range of options and can tailor the recipes individually to your four-legged friend and their current needs.

Dog Soup in Summer

Refreshing dog soups in summer help cool your dog down and prevent dehydration. They have the added benefit of providing nutrients even when your dog has little appetite and are easy to digest.

Dogs that drink too little water in particular benefit from being offered soup during high temperatures.

Dog Soup in Winter

If your dog has eaten snow, a warm dog soup can prevent the worst. It can help your dog warm up more quickly after a long walk and cover their increased calorie needs.

Dog Soup for Weight Loss

Is your dog overweight and needs to lose weight? Unfortunately, many owners still believe that the solution is to drastically reduce the amount of food.

Much better: your dog can – and should – be allowed to eat until they’re full.

But wait, eating until full and losing weight? YES! It works – very well, in fact. Your dog simply needs to consume fewer calories, not smaller amounts of food.

Foods that are high in water and fiber fill the stomach while containing fewer calories. Dog soup with plenty of vegetables meets these requirements perfectly and helps the pounds melt away.

Dog Soup for Dental Problems

Small breeds, mixed breeds, and senior dogs in particular often suffer from painful dental problems. The only real solution is treatment by a veterinarian. Before and immediately after dental procedures, however, dog soup is a great help and prevents your dog from becoming weakened by loss of appetite and nutrient deficiency.

Dogs without teeth also benefit when soup for dogs appears more often on the menu.

Dog Soup for Gastrointestinal Problems

Probably the most famous dog soup is “Moro’s soup” or “Moro’s carrot soup,” which is used for gastrointestinal infections. But it is by no means the only soup for dogs that can truly help with digestive issues.

When prepared correctly, dog soup is easier to digest and therefore puts less strain on the stomach and intestines than solid food. At the same time, cooking increases the bioavailability of nutrients. Even smaller amounts of food can then ensure adequate nutrition and prevent your dog from becoming undernourished and weakened.
