My puppy has diarrhea. Is Petco anti-diarrhea safe for travel?

Question

My puppy had been farting/gas/flatulence stinky and so I’m changing his food. I’m transitioning from Merrick beef sweet potatoes and peas to Orijen regional red which has a variety of red meats and peas and beans. I was giving him carrots and stopped. Gave him a jerky now he got diarrhea. I gor an anti diarrhea from Petco which has Pectin0.8% and Kaolin 8%. I have given this to him before but I wanted to be sure it’s fine. I’m traveling with him tomorrow morning. Pet's info: Dog | Cavalier King Charles Spaniel | Male | unneutered | 7 months and 2 days old | 15 lbs

Hello, and thank you for your question. I don't see a problem with administering a single dose of kaolin and pectin to Luca. In addition, I would offer him a bland, easily digestible diet in small, frequent portions, such as boiled ground beef and plain white rice. For his weight, 2 tbsp every 2-3 hours should work. If his diarrhea worsens or if he starts to have vomiting, reduced appetite or lethargy, he may need to see a vet before your travel tomorrow. I hope this helps, and that Luca feels better soon!
