Laxatives. Laxatives or stool softeners should only be prescribed by the vet. Never give a dog human laxatives, which will be far too strong for them and risk creating complications. Dog constipation can affect many dogs, but can be managed by appropriate treatment.

  • The human laxatives are not safe for dogs. You can see if a teaspoon of plain petroleum jelly will work. Or you can try some cat laxative such as PetroMalt or Laxatone (used for hairballs in cats).
