Dogs can not eat ginger directly, because ginger for dogs is a stimulating food, the dog's intestines and stomach are very fragile, directly to the dog to eat ginger will stimulate the intestines and stomach and other organs, and may cause vomiting, diarrhea, mental discomfort, and other adverse symptoms, serious may also cause gradual organ failure and other phenomena. Foods like green onions, ginger, garlic, onions, etc., dogs are not allowed to eat, which may cause the dog's body's red blood cells to suffer from the attack, resulting in anemia and blood in the urine.

Ginger is a common vegetable in our daily lives, and many dishes are missing its presence. Although ginger is rich in nutrients, it is not a popular vegetable, and its pungent taste discourages many people. Dogs don't like ginger as much as we do, but ginger is a good thing and has four other benefits for dogs.

I. Benefits of ginger for dogs

1. Relief of stomach pain/nausea
A dog's stomach pain or nausea can be caused by many things, including indigestion, food poisoning, or gastrointestinal disease, and sometimes even the weather can affect a dog's gut. But for most causes of nausea and stomach pain, ginger can play a role in relieving. Ginger can promote intestinal movement, thus soothing the dog's gastrointestinal discomfort.

2. Improve immunity
Dogs with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to worms or viruses. Ginger has anti-viral, anti-toxic, and anti-fungal properties that can act on the immune system. Also, ginger improves blood circulation and helps eliminate toxins. In addition, ginger helps to lower blood pressure. Therefore, for older dogs with a weakened immune system and often suffer from high blood pressure, it is beneficial to take some ginger products.

3. Anti-inflammatory
If your dog suffers from arthritis, ginger can also help your dog move more freely. Arthritis can be a disabling disease, and dogs who are unable to move for long periods due to pain may experience a loss of muscle strength. Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory that can relieve arthritis that older dogs may experience. Unlike other painkillers, ginger is a natural plant and therefore does not harm the dog's stomach. On the contrary, it has benefits for the dog's stomach. However, before using ginger to reduce inflammation, owners should know that ginger has an anti-inflammatory effect while thinning the blood, so it is not suitable for use before surgery. If there is any injury or bleeding in the dog after ingesting ginger, the owner needs to consult with the veterinarian.


4. Cancer prevention
Some studies have shown that ginger is effective in preventing cancer. According to a study by Demian Dressler, DVM, ginger slowed the growth of breast cancer in mice. Another study confirmed that ginger can kill lymphosarcoma cells in test tubes. Ginger, when given properly regularly, can boost your dog's immune system and help reduce the risk of cancer. Even if your dog unfortunately already has cancer, ginger can still act as an anti-inflammatory agent to improve blood circulation.

II. How to give your dog ginger

Untreated ginger can taste harsh and can be difficult for dogs to accept. Therefore we recommend treating the ginger before feeding it to your dog. Owners need to peel and crush the ginger before mixing it into the dog's food. Ginger should not be fed too much, and owners should pay attention to the dosage: for small dogs, a quarter of a teaspoon is more than enough. Medium-sized dogs should be given no more than one-half teaspoon a day. If the dog is larger, the owner can feed three-quarters of a teaspoon.

Some of the dog foods on the market today also contain ginger, so owners can consider this at their discretion based on individual needs. However, it is important to note that not all dogs are suitable for ginger, and owners should take their dogs to the doctor as soon as they notice any discomfort.
