Thanks to everyone who’s responded.

Susan, thanks for the in depth recommendations, really appreciate you taking the time to talk through all this.

Can you please explain to me why 4Health is the recommended way to go here? Is it because of the low fiber or what specifically makes it the best alternative? I ask more than anything because their sensitive stomach food is not cheap, and unfortunately there is no Tractor Supply store near me, so I wouldn’t be able to return it if it doesn’t sit well with him. I’m definitely willing to try, but I wonder if there are any other foods I could get locally that may be cheaper? Or is 4Health the only one that would fit my needs?

So interesting also with what you say about the rice being ok in the kibble but not just boiled…that’s good to know!

Lastly, it sounds like you are suggesting that my dog may have IBD. Do you think it’s worth going to the vet to confirm this and get a clear diagnosis, or should I just try to follow your guidelines and find a food that works for him?

Anon101 Unfortunately, as you probably saw from my post, it seems like my dog does really well with potatoes, but not with rice, so I think the Pro Plan is not an option.
