Or new rescue dog seems to have quite a sensitive tummy- as in his poo is nearly always very loose, unless he has had chicken and rice for a few days.... he has been on Fish for dogs previously but it does not seem to agree with him.

Any recommendations- (yes I am fully aware that raw would probably be best- but need him to be on kibble for the time being)

Also are there any foods out there that whilst maintaining weight (he really does not need to lose and more) calm them- I am wondering if his reaction to EVERYTHING may be diet related (too much protein?).


Thankies in advance to you knowledgeable doggy lot! :D
 
Will has rice and chicken and kibble! He has the pets at home nutrition science thing. For me it was if he keeps it down that's what he got as he was sicky a lot. Just don't feed white rice its bleached.
 
I fed our dog on Hills i/d diet when he had collitis and he was fine on that. Some dog foods have a lot of fat and that seems to upset them
 
i feed james wellbeloved turkey and rice kibble to my lurcher who has a very sensitive tummy, i also only feed hypoallergenic treats, either jwb or wagg sensitive and this seems to suit her...:D
 
We have used Wagg or Harringtons. It is a balanced kibble and so if the dog can eat it he/she should need nothing else.

Hope they get better soon.
 
I feed Tyson JWB - white fish kibble. He's allergic to chicken and well, most stuff really. He has a very sensetive tummy. Has been on JWB for a few months now with no problems other than he is still quite skinny. Its £50 a bag though, but seems worth it.
 
I feed my puppy Arden Grange kibble and also supplement with probiotics (Protexin). He was quite ill before Christmas with a nasty GI bug and it took him a while to recover but he does well on the AG food and the probiotics have made a big difference.

Avoid anything with wheat, maize, oats or barley as a bulk if you are getting that reaction and he doesn't get on with the fish.

All my rescues have gone straight to raw, but I did have a friend once with a GSD like that it took a while to sway him to raw but when he did it was a different dog no more runny poo or sicking up, he was told it was a reaction to protein and she was on a low protein special diet. It is often the protein that is blamed above the bulk, but you have to know the source of the protein if it is plant protein then there is your answer.

Read a pack of prize choice tripe the other day and the feeding of meat products to ruminants is banned so why isn't feeding grain to dogs
