Not a food recommendation, but would HIGHLY recommend this probiotic chew from Amazon. My dog thinks they are a treat and it solidified her poop in about 3 days.

Without any doubt I will recommend Solid Gold’s Wee Bit. I’ve been feeding it to all my dachshunds for the last 20 plus years and they all thrive on it. It’s the perfect size with the perfect ingredients.

There’s a dog food called just food for dogs. I fought my small mix breed dog from the day I brought her home. Sensitive stomach and pallet. This food is made in a human style kitchen. There are several choices on ingredients, it did the trick. Can even buy it frozen. I bought it at petco then Amazon

We use nutro ultra senior. Not sure if your baby is a senior, but this is the first food that doesn’t bother my baby’s stomachs. They probably have an adult formula.

We struggled with this for a couple of years. We have been feeding our Sam, Farmer’s Dog and have not had any issues in quite some time. On the more expensive side, but well worth it.

I make my girls just a simple chicken and rice. No seasonings at all, but I add water after it cooks and it forms a gravy. I bag it up and serve it heated up for a few days. They love it

A homemade diet with supplements. You get to choose what goes into your dog’s food making accommodations to what works for them. I’ve been preparing homemade for mine 4 years 7 months and learned how through well known online holistic vets/dog nutritionists with nothing but positive health improvements. For batches of food I alternate through variety meats, organs, heart, sometimes gizzards, leafy greens, fresh herbs, low glycemic veggies, sometimes butternut squash or canned pumpkin, cranberries or blueberries and calcium source of eggshell powder. Egg added to breakfast every other day, salmon/sardine cluster I make every 4 days as a meal and a cube of homemade bone broth 2-3 times weekly. Not hard to learn how to do it, but there are a few rules to follow to ensure proper nutrition. Meaning a diet of chicken, rice carrots and peas isn’t gonna cut it. Kibble feeders don’t understand that most of these sensitivities and tummy upset is usually due to a dry overly processed food that is not a natural way of feeding. Also if most knew exactly what is in kibble and what is allowed in kibble because it is not a human product would see why it can lead to so many complications, illnesses and disease. Vet and I discuss the diet in detail every year and she approves this diet.
