Canine intestinal blockage can result from a variety of things.

For instance, dog intestinal blockage may result if your dog has recently swallowed a teddy bear.  Or a snow shovel.  Or a plastic bag filled with balloons.

Or, more likely, dog intestinal blockage may result from your dog being out of prime health.  Without the ability to speak English, your dog’s only way of communicating to you that they’re not feeling well may be by not pooping as much as usual.

If your dog has an intestinal blockage, its important to help them out.  Aside from treating the acute symptoms (getting rid of the temporary constipation), it is important to figure out how to improve the overall health of your dog.  An intestinal blockage may simply be a symptom of a seemingly unrelated health deficiency.

Once your dog’s intestines are free flowing, your dog should be much happier!
