For older dogs, puppies, or dogs with health problems, a detox is usually not advisable. A detox can require a lot of energy and may actually worsen issues for dogs with a high load of waste products in their bodies.

Not for Old Age, Illness, or Surgery

Since a detox releases a lot of waste products, it can pose some risks for dogs with poorer health, recently dewormed dogs, older dogs, or young dogs. You should also not give a detox to dogs who have recently undergone surgery.

Important Points for a Detox

A detox can have temporary negative effects, including:

  • Temporarily reduced absorption of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals;
  • Energy loss and fatigue, especially if there are already health issues;
  • Nausea and vomiting if a large amount of waste products is released all at once;
  • Existing conditions may worsen.

Always consult with your veterinarian if in doubt, or call us for advice if you are unsure whether a detox is appropriate for your dog.
