Which food do you think is the best for sensitive stomachs?

My 4 month old chi puppy has been having diarrhea since I switched her from Bil-Jac to Blue Buffalo (lamp puppy blend). The breeder gave me a small bag of Bil-Jac to take home when I bought her. I can't remember if her stool was always solid when she was on Bil-Jac, but it's definitely really runny now and becoming a problem.

Thanks for any advice.

Hi!

I'd first collect a stool sample (I just started taking in folded up potty pads!) and have your vet check of Giardia or Coccidia. I'd follow course of medicine if so and if not, I would give some pumpkin to help firm up her stools.

I had one who came to us with chronic colitis so it can be a struggle for certain. As it turned out, mine cannot have grains nor can she manage processed foods. Of any kind. I know, I tried and tried.

One I got her stools firmed with boiled plain chicken breast and pumpkin, Ziwipeak was the only food she could tolerate.

I was going to say boiled chicken breast and rice to firm her up. Frankie had a touch of pancreatitus a couple of years ago. Vet gave me some Science Diet ID crap but Frankie would not eat it. I fed him boiled chicken for a few days with rice. Both of mine now eat Ziwipeak which is an excellent food.

I know I have not been on the forum for long, but when I brought my latest chi home as a puppy a year ago, he had some issues with loose stool and diarrhea and this was with Royal Canin, my other chi was on a RAW diet. So after making sure there was no issues as far as parasites or illness and I got the loose stool under control I switched him over to a Raw diet as well and have had no issues since.

Thanks for your comments. I just went to a specialty dog store during my lunch hour and talked to the owner. He feeds his beagle Orijen and swears by it... so I bought a small bad and we'll see how it goes!

Orijen is an outstanding food. It is much higher in protein, likely, to what you have been feeding so I would introduce increasing amounts slowly mixed with the Blue. It is a rich food and some do have tummy issues with it. Just watch that the diarrhea does not continue many days. Our little ones can get dehydrated and lose nutrients quickly.
