If your dog is constipated—straining to poop, producing small hard stools, or going days without a bowel movement—you've probably been told to add pumpkin or fiber to their food.
I recommended the same thing for 20 years. But here's what I eventually discovered: fiber helps move things along, but it doesn't fix why your dog became constipated in the first place.
That's why so many dogs get relief for a few days, then the constipation returns. You never addressed the root cause.
Why Dogs Really Get Constipated
Most people think constipation is simply a lack of fiber. But after treating over 3,500 cases, I've learned the real issue is much more specific: dysfunctional gut bacteria.
Your dog's intestines rely on trillions of beneficial bacteria to regulate bowel movements. These bacteria produce compounds that stimulate intestinal contractions—the wave-like motions that move stool through the colon.
When the bacterial balance is disrupted (by aging, medications, diet changes, dehydration), the intestines lose their ability to contract properly. Result? Constipation.
Fiber helps temporarily by adding bulk, but it doesn't restore the bacterial function that creates normal bowel movements.

Pumpkin is a good source of soluble fiber, which helps soften stool and add bulk. And yes, it works—initially.
Your dog has a bowel movement. You think the problem is solved. But within a week or two, they're constipated again.
Why? Because pumpkin doesn't restore the gut bacteria that regulate intestinal contractions. It helps move the existing stool, but it doesn't fix the underlying dysfunction.
⚠️ The Laxative Trap
Many owners turn to laxatives when fiber stops working. But chemical laxatives can make constipation worse long-term by creating dependency—the intestines "forget" how to move on their own.
I've treated dogs who became chronically constipated after months of laxative use. Their intestines couldn't function without chemical stimulation anymore.
The "Bacon Method" Discovery
Four years ago, I treated a senior lab named Duke who'd been chronically constipated for 14 months. We'd tried everything: pumpkin, psyllium fiber, stool softeners, even prescription laxatives. Nothing worked consistently.
Duke's owner read about a specific combination of gut bacteria that help regulate bowel movements. It was bacon-flavored, so Duke actually liked taking it.
Within 36 hours, Duke had a normal bowel movement. Within a week, he was going daily—something that hadn't happened in over a year.
I was stunned. When I researched the formula, I realized it contained bacterial strains that produce butyrate—a compound that stimulates intestinal contractions.
"My 10-year-old retriever was constipated every few days. We'd give pumpkin, she'd go once, then nothing for 3-4 days. After trying Dr. Morrison's recommendation, she started going every day like clockwork. It's been 6 months and the constipation hasn't returned."
What Makes This Remedy Different
The key is using bacterial strains that actually produce the compounds needed for healthy bowel function:
🔬 How It Works
- Butyrate-Producing Bacteria: Stimulate intestinal contractions naturally
- Prebiotic Fiber: Feeds beneficial bacteria, keeps them thriving
- Digestive Enzymes: Help break down food more completely
- Hydration Support: Compounds that help retain moisture in stool

And because it's bacon-flavored, dogs think it's a treat. No more fighting to get medicine down.
What to Expect (Day-by-Day)
Based on hundreds of constipated dogs I've treated with this approach:
Day 1: Dog may still be constipated, but seems more comfortable. Less straining.
Day 2: Usually the first normal bowel movement. Stool is softer, passes easier.
Days 3-5: Bowel movements become regular (once or twice daily). Straining stops.
Week 2+: Normal bowel function is fully restored. No more chronic constipation.
The difference from fiber alone? The results last. You're not just masking symptoms—you're restoring normal gut function.
"My senior dog hadn't had a normal bowel movement in 5 days. She was so uncomfortable. I tried Dr. Morrison's method, and by the next afternoon, she finally went—and it was a normal, healthy stool. She's been regular ever since. I wish I'd known about this years ago."
When to Use This vs. When to See a Vet
This approach works for common, non-emergency constipation: infrequent bowel movements, hard dry stools, mild straining, chronic recurring constipation.
See a vet immediately if your dog:
- Hasn't pooped in 3+ days despite trying remedies
- Is vomiting along with constipation
- Shows signs of abdominal pain or distension
- Is extremely lethargic or won't eat
- Is straining intensely with nothing passing (could be obstruction)
For typical constipation—the kind that affects senior dogs, dogs on certain medications, or dogs with recurring issues—this bacterial approach typically works faster and more permanently than fiber alone.

Because I spent 20 years telling owners to "add pumpkin" and watching the same dogs come back constipated month after month. Their owners spent $60-100 per vet visit for advice that only worked temporarily.
The pumpkin approach isn't wrong—fiber does help. But it's incomplete. You need to restore the gut bacteria that regulate bowel movements, not just add bulk to stool.
This isn't experimental. The science of gut bacteria and intestinal motility is well-established. I'm just applying it correctly.
The video shows the complete protocol: which bacterial strains to use, how much based on your dog's weight, and what to expect day-by-day.
