While ginger is safe for dogs to consume in small doses, it is not recommended for those with certain health conditions. Ginger is known to alleviate motion sickness, nausea, gastric issues, and bloat.
Ginger is a natural remedy for various health issues in dogs, including chronic indigestion, gastrointestinal problems, and arthritis-related pain. It also has anti-cancer properties, reduces inflammation, and lowers the risk of infection. Ginger root can even reduce heartworm microfilaria.
Excessive consumption of ginger can cause gastrointestinal irritation, nausea, or heartburn. It is not recommended for diabetic dogs or those with heart conditions, gallbladder diseases, or bleeding disorders. Some dogs may also have an allergic reaction to ginger.
To feed ginger to your dog, chop the raw root and mix it into their food. The amount should be 1/4 to 3/4 teaspoon, depending on their size. You can also add ginger slices to chicken stock and mix it into your dog’s food.
