Poop & dog food?
June 18, 2025

Finally, vacation! You're looking forward to relaxing days at the beach with your four-legged companion. To make your vacation a carefree one for both of you, we're sharing our experiences and practical tips with you.
What happens when dogs drink seawater?
Many dog owners are familiar with this: As soon as their dog gets to the beach, they curiously sample the salt water. Seawater contains about 35 grams of salt per liter —significantly more than your dog is used to.
Common observations after drinking seawater:
- Increased thirst
- Drink fresh water more frequently
- Softer stools or diarrhea
- Occasional discomfort
These reactions occur because the high salt intake draws water from the body and affects digestion.
Why dog owners rely on intestinal treatments
Many experienced dog owners swear by a preventative intestinal cleanse before vacation . The idea behind it is that a well-prepared dog is better able to cope with new situations.
Typical holiday challenges for dog bellies:
- Unfamiliar water (tap water, salt water)
- Travel stress and new surroundings
- Changed daily routine
- Other temperatures and humidity
An intestinal treatment can help promote the natural balance in the dog’s stomach.
entoVITAL Stop&Go:
Our natural supplementary feed
We developed entoVITAL Stop&Go specifically for such situations. As a food supplement, it can be a useful addition to your dog's diet—especially before and during vacation.

I haven't seen my dog eat like this in a long time! Thanks!
David A.
My dog Bailey, who is normally very picky about food, loves entoVITAL Dog Dental Sticks. Not only does he tolerate them well, he also enjoys them immensely. After each Dental Stick, he lies down contentedly for a nap. 🥰
Mario R.
Since my bull terrier switched to entoVITAL DOG, his coat is as strong and healthy as he is. The transformation is incredible – from irritated, red skin to a smooth, healthy coat that's almost as robust as his owner. A true lifesaver!
Hannah M.
The entoVITAL DOG lick paste is a real hit with my dog! Every time I take out the tube, he's immediately there and can hardly wait for his reward. His enthusiastic licking speaks volumes 😍
Rene W.
A great company with high-quality products and exceptional service. Due to my dog's food intolerance, I order the hypoallergenic dry food, as well as the lick paste and soft snack. My dog loves all of them and hasn't had any more gastrointestinal problems since. The processing and delivery of the products is incredibly fast.
Mia L.
My picky, sick kitten was recommended entoVITAL dry food, and she loves it! The customer service provided me with competent advice, and I was impressed by the prompt delivery. The lick paste is also a hit. This innovative, sustainable food is based on insect protein, without sugar or grains, and is made in Austria. Highly recommended!
Sunny B.
I rarely write reviews, but I'm always impressed by the great quality of the products and the SUPER-FAST delivery! I feed them the insect-based dry cat food that my vet recommended. The mice are super fit and healthy. And if I forget and the supply is running low, I don't have to worry, because it's delivered immediately! Thanks for the great work!
Jeanette K.
Since our Gina has a food intolerance, after much experimentation, we settled on HEROSAN. I first made inquiries by phone and then placed an order. What can I say? Since we started feeding her entoVITAL from HEROSAN, Gina has been healthy. Her coat is shiny, and she finally feels completely at ease again. Delivery is prompt and always correct. Thank you so much... Best regards, Gina and Jeanette.

In my veterinary practice, I regularly see dogs with food intolerances. The introduction of entoVITAL® as a food alternative with insect protein has proven to be an effective solution for reducing allergic reactions. I particularly appreciate the grain-free insect snacks, which are ideal for dogs with allergies.
