That Rachael Ray’s dog food is good for a sick stomach, but it’s expensive.

We use Purina Pro Plan sensitive skin and stomach turkey and oatmeal flavor. It seems to work well for my boy, and it isn’t too expensive in my opinion.

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.

BIL JAC is the best; it doesn’t swell up, it dissolves, and you can change to another food, and it doesn’t affect the change. Try a small bag first. I strongly recommend. My Remy loved it. Hopefully shes still eating it in Doggie Heaven. She left me 6 months ago, and I miss her so much

Make your own. I use leg quarters sweet potatoes carrots and rice add 1 can of salmon or mackerel. Good for stomach, less farting, and no runny stool. Also good for skin issues as well.

I went through a year of stomach issues with my Bulldog until I fed him Taste of the Wild Sierra Mountain. He never had another issue. He lived to be 12 1/2 and never went to the vet for anything but shots. I currently have an 11-year-old English Bulldog and an almost 15-year-old golden retriever that have never had any health issues at all, and they eat the same thing.

We use 4 Health from Tractor Supply. Both our Bulldogs ate it, and there were no issues. Plus, it’s a good, real meat dog food

Try making your own. We did for ours, and all his allergies have cleared up. Brown rice, fresh sweet potato, broccoli, carrots, and spinach. For the protein, lean white chicken breast is boiled.

Mine had a REALLY sensitive stomach. I used to make brown rice, matchstick carrots, spinach, and browned ground Turkey. Used to put the spinach and carrots in a food processor to make them a little easier to digest, then cook them with the Turkey. Works very well and is very healthy!!
