Wet food for a very sensitive tummy

[Greylegs]

After 15 dogless months, the new adoptee arrived yesterday. A lovely, sensitive boy, around 4 yo we think, staffie crossed with something much more leggy - possibly a whippet or even greyhound. Apparently has a very sensitive tummy and gets the squitties with any kind of wet food. He’s been fed on a dry food for sensitive dogs and seemsok on it, but I just hate dry food. Does anyone have any recommendations for a wet food which he might be able to o stomach. Old dog was on James Wellbelived pouches and was great with them, but something similar for this lad would be great. Many thanks ....

Chappie is usually recommended for sensitive tums - rather you than me though. TBH if the rescue found something he is ok with I would leave well alone

Dry far far better for their teeth -

my vet recommended chappie as well, but i wouldnt change the food just because you dont like dry food. you could always add a bit of water to it and feed straight away before it goes mushy as its better for their teeth to crunch something..

I fed tinned Chappie to my greyhound boy as it was the only food he could tolerate - it was fine, I’m not sure why people dislike it so much as it was no more offensive than a lot of other wet dog food IMO

Having said that, if your rescue is already settled on a diet I would very very much recommend sticking to that!

Chappie tins are good...but smelly

Forthglade for mine that couldn’t tolerate most kibbles.

My parents rescue dog has kibble with a couple of spoonfuls of chappie mixed in. That could be a good compromise between what you consider a good meal and what is best for the dog.

If your dog has had previous gut issues but is well and thriving on his current diet then I would be inclined to leave well alone.

If you want a good quality wet food then you could try Lukullus Gustico from Zooplus.

It is a fallacy that dry food is better for dental health, unless it is one specifically manufactured for that purpose.

Sorry, Splashgirl45. This comment was not in response to your post but the previous one, #3.
