Best Dog Food for Sensitive Stomachs 2026

Our Havanese loves her Farmers Dog Beef food. She’s healthy and very active eating it. She has small firm stools. She has done so much better on it than anything else we have used or made ourselves. The price though is a bit stiff. But for her it’s worth it. She is a 10 lb Havanese and her daily cost is $5.42. Almost twice what was stated in the review. Not sure where the price came from but sure doesn’t seem correct. It is gluten free and that does add cost to it.

Our Maltichon use to be the pickiest eater. Then about 4 yrs ago I discovered Farmers Dog. Puddin absolutely loves all the choices- but we haven’t tried pork yet. She is very healthy and very happy. That makes her dad & me very happy🐶😃 Thank you

Farmers Dog❤️🐶

My Beau Diddley was very happy with this food- at first. His digestive issues had subsidized but are returning. He’s been checked out by our vet. No issues. Now he picks at his food and often doesn’t finish it.

This food is very expensive and I can’t be throwing out food. I’m thinking of adding Zignature Salmon to his wet food. It’s a limited ingredient food grain and chicken free.

At this point I’m disappointed. Beau is showing he’s disappointed too.

The Farmers Dog keeps Tate’s tummy happy, his pottying regular, his coat thick and soft, his eyes bright, and his tail wagging.

I feed my Pomeranian Mix 1/2 dry kidney Royal Canin and 1/2 Chicken and Grain Farmer’s dog. Since starting Farmer’s dog, my dog’s bloodwork has improved. And he love the food!

Been feeding my dog the Farmer’s Dog for little over 3 years. Rotated between pork, beef and turkey (she didn’t like the chicken). She is a picky eater but she LOVES the 3 recipes above and eats those with gusto. Unfortunately, the price has increased. Apparently I can save a little if I switch to beef with grain. It’s very dry – have to put broth or a few drops of water on it. But she seems to like it.

Once Molly turned 3, she started having all sorts of problems with allergies, itching, skin growths, vomiting, loose stools, hair loss…you name it. After several trips to the vet and multiple courses of antibiotics and anti inflammatorirs, a neighbor gave me a coupon for Farmer’s Dog. It had worked wonders for her pups. We’d always given Molly top rated kibble, but once she started eating Farmer’s Dog, everything started changing. She was playing again and loved going for walks once again. She had so much energy; her entire personality changed for the better. She still has minor problems with seasonal allergies, but her skin is so much clearer and her coat is soft, and shiny. It’s been about 3 years now and we’ll never go back to kibble. Farmer’s Dog was a game changer for us.

My 17year old Vizsla, Sadie, was on a raw diet for a few years, most recently from freeze dried raw to frozen raw. She suddenly developed constant diarrhea and our vet thought it might be related to the raw diet. I tried making homemade dog food, but she still had digestive issues (diarrhea) even after meds. My other dog, a dachshund, never had problems. I had tried The Farmer’s Dog about 7 years ago with 2 other dachshunds (they are gone now) and Sadie. They all liked it. So I decided to try it again. Both dogs loved it and Sadie’s diarrhea stopped. She now has firm stools. We got another dachshund a couple months ago and immediately transitioned him to The Farmer’s Dog. All 3 dogs are happy, healthy, and love their food. Thank you!

I have been feeding my 13 y.o. chiweenie the Turkey option from The Farmer’s Dog and it’s all my girl eats. I love that it’s made from fresh, clean ingredients with no fillers or unnecessary ingredients. It’s simple, healthy, human-grade food.

My little dog is a rescue. Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix. I have had her for eight years now. She was a very picky eater even though I gradually switched to ultra-premium kibble (highly recommended by Dog Food Advisor). She frequently refused to eat and would sometimes throw-up kibbles. I tried Farmer’s Dog because it offers grain free real food. My dog has been eating Farmer’s Dog for over 6 months now. She still does a happy dance when it is time to eat. And she licks her bowl clean. No more stomach upsets. She has much more energy and her weight is stable. The customer care and service is outstanding.

The food uses solid, human‑grade ingredients and has a clean, non‑synthetic profile, which is great in theory. The texture and chunks of meat are appealing, and the overall quality is clearly there.

Where it falls short is the spearmint. The flavor is strong enough that many picky eaters won’t touch it, even if they normally like similar foods. Instead of making the food smell “fresh,” the mint ends up overpowering the natural meat scent that usually attracts selective dogs. For households with picky pups, this becomes a real barrier.

A good product with good intentions, but the spearmint makes it hit‑or‑miss — and definitely not ideal for picky eaters.

Love the ingredient profile of the food! Everyone’s very helpful at the company. I left out a star as some packages are extremely difficult to open & it is very expensive.

I switched my two boys over to Raised Right Gently Cooked and I’m so glad I did, they both love it and that’s after feeding them Raised Right for two years, usually they both would eventually get tired of the same food, but not this one and Raised Right lets you mix the proteins so I get a mix in my box of Beef, Turkey, Chicken and Pork and rotate it so there eating a different protein every day. Only fresh organ meat and depending on the protein there’s blueberries or cranberries it’s just fresh healthy food no synthetic vitamins added, no fillers just healthy food.

Raised Right has been served in our house for a couple of years now. I heard the founder tell the story of how it began – in their kitchen.How they source their ingredients. All their meals are prepared in human grade conditions. The meals actually smell good. My Cavaliers love it and are finally having a lot less digestive issues. This is a huge testament all by its self. Oh – and their customer service is top notch!

Raised Right fresh dog food is a flawless recipe my dog has been on since he was 10 months old. Prior to that he was on a rotation of 6 different dry kibble. He was sick all the time and the vet wanted to put him on a prescription diet for life! I couldn’t accept that fate for a young , perfectly healthy pup. Did my research and found this perfect food! He has been thriving ever since. He has perfectly firm poop and loves the variety of proteins Raised Right offers. We are so grateful for this food! We highly recommend this food. Although it is expensive.l we feel it is well worth the price.

This easily digestible dry food for small breeds is the only food that our dog has been able to easily digest. She likes it so well we call it dog candy.

I’ve had my Golden, Gus, since he was a puppy. He is the first to have a more sensitive stomach than my other Goldens. This dog food has helped keep him healthy with good digestion and quality stool. I add some Canned Wellness to his dry food with some warm water. I feel good about his diet.

Wellness has been my go-to dog food for over twenty years. After trying various “healthy and high quality” brands, this one worked best for my multi generations of dogs, with the current favorite being Digestive Health with grains. We have two senior Rat Terriers that we have had since puppies, and a younger rescued medical Beagle. One dog is super picky, and two are food vacuums. This food is happily accepted by all. They have shiny coats, plenty of energy, and look great. They also have consistently firm stools on this food. The added taurine is important to me, and I think the emphasis on a healthy gut is important to overall health and longevity. My vet asked me what I feed them, and she whole heartily approves.

How could they improve the food? Often there is dust in the bag from food that was not formed into kibble. The dogs still eat it, but honestly, it should not be there. The other thing I would like to see is a kibble designed to help clean the teeth when they eat it.

The high fiber content in Royal Canin Gastro kibble is just what Tate needs to keep his tummy happy and his pottying regular, plus he loves the food!

Love this food! My dog has a very sensitive system and has been on this food long term. She is healthy, super shiny coat, lots of energy and no more gastro problems.

6 years prior to having to use the Royal Canin Urinary SO due to issues with kidney stones, we were changing foods every 2 to 3 months. Or Ginger was very stubborn and picky with food. Kibble, wet, canned, fresh made no difference. After a few weeks she just would not eat until something different was on the menu. But, lucky for us, the Royal Canin (of which there is no other option like it) she has been eating for several years now with little refusal. Happy parents.

Our mixed breed rescue over his 12 years with us has shown many digestive challenges – after a while we figured out that he cannot ever tolerate any foods/treats that contain more than 10% fat. It is very difficult to find dog food that is low in fat but healthy. We tried many different brands and always landed back on Nulo Freestyle Trim: healthy , high quality ingredients and tasty, with no adverse effects. Highly recommend.

Around 15 years ago, I had a Cocker spaniel, at 10 yrs who had colon cancer removed, but was given 2-4 weeks to live. I researched about how to change the food I was feeding. Raw was quite a new idea, but my vet felt that since she had a foot of her intestines removed, perhaps that wasn’t the best option. Instinct was one of the first raw options of food to buy. They also had a capitalized version of their raw diet. I tried that for her and she loved it. With extra supplement of dehydrated beets and a sprinkle of turmeric on her food, she lived to the ripe old age of 17. The dog who I adopted after that was given the same diet and she just passed away at 17 years of age also. I attribute this to this awesome food, keeping them fit and lots of snuggles, of course! I love that it comes in different flavors that you can mix and match. I have now gone to the raw boost version of this food, and my dogs just love it. That’s really all that counts. 🙂
