Puppy diarrhea after booster & meat tenderizer: What should I do?
Updated On September 23rd, 2025
Pet's info: Dog | Poodle | Female | spayed | 2 months and 29 days old | 36 lbs
My 13 weeks standard poodle pup just had her first diarrhea. She got her second booster 5 days ago. I did just start spraying some meat tenderizer on her food. Maybe that’s the reason? What should I do now? No blood in her diarrhea, her energy level is good today, she had bitten her poop that’s why I used meat tenderizer.

Diarrhea is a signs referring to a intestinal problem. It could be due to dietary indiscretion (possibly meat tenderizer), parasitic infestation, bacterial diseases or viral diseases (unlikely as she is vaccinated). You could provide bland food (boiled breast chicken and rice) for a couple of days but, if she continues to have diarrhea, might get dehydrated. You could also add some probiotics and probiotics to her diet, you can fined them at your local pet store. If you can spot blood in the faces or if she get lethargic and not eating, or if she start vomiting, I would suggest to have her checked by your veterinarian as soon as possible. Remove the feces straight after she has done them to avoid ingestion, possibly the meat tenderizer might have change the "taste". Good luck and post again on the forum if you need further advices. I hope my answer was helpful.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This does not necessarily mean that. She may be sensitive to a particular type of meat but I would not say she is likely just sensitive to all kinds of meat. I would recommend you try a different type of meat and see if she tolerates that better. Best of luck!
