data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"1312\">Gastritis is defined as <strong>inflammation of the stomach wall<\/strong>. A dog\u2019s stomach is protected by a complex mucous barrier that shields it from gastric acids needed for digestion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"1312\">When this protection is damaged &#8211; or acid production becomes excessive &#8211; the lining becomes irritated and inflamed, and may even develop erosions or ulcers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1894\">This <strong>digestive issue<\/strong> is not a single disease, but rather a symptom resulting from different aggressions: ingestion of unsuitable substances, infections, stress or underlying conditions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1314\" data-end=\"1894\">Because a dog\u2019s stomach is particularly sensitive to sudden changes, untreated gastritis can progress to <strong>gastric ulcers<\/strong> or nutritional deficiencies due to poor absorption. Early identification is key so that a care protocol &#8211; and above all a strict dietary adjustment &#8211; can be implemented to soothe the digestive system.<\/p>\n              <\/div>\n\n            \n                  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"v3-content-mix-media__media img-container img-container--cover mobile-aspect--16-9\">\n                  <img width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DC0243_HD.jpg\" class=\"v3-content-mix-media__image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DC0243_HD.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DC0243_HD-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DC0243_HD-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DC0243_HD-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DC0243_HD-600x900.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/DC0243_HD-900x1350.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>              <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"card__list__block bg__white\" id=\"banner-block_19c0ae2d51dbdf48872136d87995ed85\">\n    <div class=\"container-fluid expanded\">\n        <div class=\"titles__wrapper titles__center\">\n                            <h3 class=\"title__bold__background title__green\"><b>Types of gastritis<\/b><\/h3>\n                    <\/div>\n\n        <p class=\"card__list__intro\">\n                    <\/p>\n\n                    <ul class=\"text__card__list\">\n                                                                            \n                    \n                    <li class=\"text_card__list-item\">\n                                                <div class=\"inner\">\n                                                        <h4>Acute gastritis<\/h4>\n                            <p>Sudden and intense onset, often after eating spoiled food, toxins or foreign objects.

The ideal diet should be low in fat (fat slows gastric emptying and increases acid contact time with inflamed lining).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Proteins<\/strong> should be high biological value and easy to break down (e.g., chicken or white fish). Carbohydrates should be highly digestible (e.g., well-cooked rice or potato).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wet food<\/strong> is preferred over dry kibble: it\u2019s gentler on irritated walls and supports optimal hydration. Adjusting texture and composition helps the stomach heal while ensuring your dog gets enough energy to recover.<\/p>\n              <\/div>\n\n            \n                  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"v3-content-mix-media__media img-container img-container--cover mobile-aspect--3-4\">\n                  <img width=\"1200\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956.jpg\" class=\"v3-content-mix-media__image\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956-600x750.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956-900x1125.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.dogchef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/81DD40D0-1F80-4CBF-9F84-D94959B49956-1024x1280.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/>              <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<!-- DEBUG content_position: NULL | has_media: true -->\n<section class=\"v3-content-mix-media bg-white\" id=\"v3-content-mix-media-block_8c20d726154dfccc1d3a9c866b9a4014\">\n  <div class=\"v3-content-mix-media__container container-fluid expanded\">\n    <div class=\"v3-content-mix-media__content\">\n              <h2 class=\"v3-content-mix-media__title title__green--v3 title__bold__background\"><strong>The Dog Chef approach:<\/strong> a solution for dogs with gastritis\n<\/h2>\n      \n              <div class=\"v3-content-mix-media__body\">\n          \n                          <div class=\"v3-content-mix-media__text v3-description v3-description--base v3-content-formatted\">\n                <p>Dog Chef offers a practical response to the <strong>nutritional challenges<\/strong> of gastritis.
