Hi, I have a dog with sensitive stomach, 40lb, 8 years old. He’s had the issues since I got him at 2 years old but he’s greatly improved with some trial and error.
I don’t think he’s vomited in 2 years which is incredible compared to the first year I had him!
We feed Carna4 chicken for kibble, it’s baked rather than extruded, made in Canada. In the am we give Stella & Chewys raw dehydrated patties with a little kibble, in the evening we give health extension canned turkey with kibble. Although lately the canned has changed formula, not so great.
But anyway I would suggest using some freeze dried raw with the kibble, it’s rehydrated with a little water.
We feed cooked ground turkey anytime he has loose stools, and lay off the kibble. That seems to have solve some of his issues.
Some days we feed primal raw frozen nuggets, or Evermore frozen lightly cooked, delivery service dog food.
It’s funny because it’s well known that you shouldn’t just throw a new food at a dog, because that alone could make the dog sick. But there are some high quality foods that we feed once or twice a week and there’s no adjustment period.
We limit water and high energy play for 30 minutes after eating, I started realizing my dog wasn’t digesting his food well, based on vomit and diarrhea I’d see when he was sick. So I try to let his stomach do it’s work without the added stress of play or excessive water. ( my dogs an ocd water drinker!)
