I keep a jar of organic, food grade, powdered coconut charcoal, in my doggie first aid box at all times. I have not one, but two extremely naughty beagles. They are hyper active, un-trainable and for lack of a better word, WALKING TRASHCANS! They will eat anything that remotely resembles food. I don't work, just so I can keep an eye on them all day. But they are quite resourceful when it comes to finding trouble.
They are both hounds and are always curious and ready to explore the world. Unfortunately, they use their mouths to do all this exploration. They eat things, they should not! At best it is something hard to digest, which leads to GAS and at worst, it's something toxic! In either situation, you need a simple cure.
GAS in dogs needs immediate attention. Not only does it stink to high heavens, it can kill your dog, if it develops into something called as GDV or simply referred to as BLOAT! The horizontal position of their tummies, when combined with gas, can sometimes causes the stomach to rotate. This needs immediate surgery, if the dog needs to survive. Since you don't stay in a hospital, with a vet just waiting to fix your dog, you need to prevent this from happening, at all.
This is where the charcoal comes in! The minute you notice you dogs tummy get hard, or he is letting out smelly ones, just take a teaspoon or two, of activated charcoal, mix it with curd and feed it to him. My dogs lap this up, like a treat! If you have a fussy eater, you can choose to get charcoal tablets, instead. Charcoal, ADSORBS! The minute it hits his tummy it starts working by, trapping gas producing, toxins and chemicals in its millions of tiny pore. It detoxifies his body and safely excites it out, naturally.
This simple thing can save his life! This same principle, also works, if your dog eats something toxic, like dark chocolate or a poisonous plant. In this case, make him vomit first before giving him activated charcoal.
Moral of the story:
THE MINUTE YOU NOTICE YOUR DOG GETTING GASSY, FEED HIM ACTIVATED CHARCOAL.
IF HE EATS SOMETHING TOXIC, INDUCE VOMITING & THEN FEED HIM ACTIVATED CHARCOAL.
In either scenario, if you don't see him improving soon or you suspect he still needs medical attention, take him to a vet. This is only a helpful home remedy, that helps with mild cases and cannot substitute medical advice!
SO ADORABLE! <3 I'm a huge dog lover myself....

Beagles are hounds which naturally hunts for food (which I think they are used to aid in hunting) so being curious with their mouth is no surprise for me at all.
I am really glad that you have that with you and your Beagles are not picky with food.
For me charcoal pills are for the humans, until today, I got to know from you that they help dogs too.
(My mom use, paracetamol when something happens to my family dog if anything bad happens to her especially food poisoning. She's still alive till today, thank God)
upvoted and resteemed for good information.

Excellent article! I had a boxer who was a walking trash can due to the eating problem your beagles have. She once even tried to eat a battery!
Thank you for this informative post :)
My older beagle has the most sensitive tummy on the planet and loves to eat crap- ciggerettes to sanitary napkins, she has had 'em all! The amount of times, I have run to the vet for Gastritis will probably get my name in the Guinness Book! Lol! But yes this has been a life saver, literally. And no trips for tummy issues for over a year now!
My cousin's beagles have been into the hospital several times for the stomach pumping exercise.
One ate whole chocolate cake from inside the closed fridge.
One day when we were in the pet food shop one of my dogs came out of the back room with blue particles between his teeth. Started investigating and discovered it was rat poison tablets.
A few moments of doubt and anxiety, and took him to the vet, (the pet food shop owners now wife, is my vet) and she injected him with an emetic and he threw up not one or two but seven whole tablets of the stuff.
The bag says extra delicious!
Have you ever seen Louis CK talking about trying to make his dog vomit?
he says it was by squirting hydrogen peroxide down the dogs mouth.
but it's hilarious.
I could find it for you if you want.
thanks for the advice, I should keep something handy for these moments of doubt, with so many here I am used to the vomiting thing.
Hardly bat an eyelid anymore if they aren't on the bed at the time.
Rat poison! That's awful! I don't use any insecticides and pesticides, in my garden, because I'm worried that they will get sick!
And about inducing vomit, I had to do that recently, with my little one. Hydrogen peroxide to make her throw up a whole pack of cigarettes, followed by activated charcoal. It was disgusting, but I avoided another trip to the vet!
They anyway recognize my older one, Tiara, because of the bazillions visits over the last 8 years! I'm just hoping Pixie, will be less famous in this regard!
yes, you would not find me buying any poisons of any description
I have never done it myself, make a dog throw up, they seem to be able to do it themselves when I'm around
