Hi Holly-

I dont understand this statement: “I finally asked my vet and they recommended science diet sensitive stomach (which they sell, surprise surprise).”

It is fairly standard for a pet store, vet, or online pet food retailer to recommend a food they sell. I work for an independant family owned pet store and I recommend foods we carry all the time. I’m not going to send a customer somewhere else to purchase their food and give business to another store and I’m sure if the customer is in my store it means they want to purchase a food from my store.

You could try 100 different foods, but without an actual diagnosis as to why your dog is having gas and soft stool it’s just a guessing game. Personally I prefer either Pro Plan Sensitive Skin & Stomach or NutriSource (not grain free) for bowel issues.
