Gave my dog diarrhea

My beagle has a very sensitive stomach and he is on hills prescription digestive care. I have been trying to find a cheaper alternative but every time I try to find

My beagle has a very sensitive stomach and he is on hills prescription digestive care. I have been trying to find a cheaper alternative but every time I try to find a food he might can do he gets diarrhea when I raise the amount of new food to half a cup. I transition his food very slowly over a 4 week time frame and I can't find a food that doesn't make him sick. Be careful with this food if your dog is on a prescription diet like mine because they might not be able to do it.

Maybe he's tired of salmon kibble?

Our 2-yr-old has been very finicky the past few months. We've tried multiple brands and flavors. He will eat this only if it's topped with scrambled eggs or canned

Our 2-yr-old has been very finicky the past few months. We've tried multiple brands and flavors. He will eat this only if it's topped with scrambled eggs or canned salmon. This brand sounded more appetizing than his previous salmon kibble, but I think he likes the old one a tad more (which is to say, not much).

Dry skin

We switched to this food after the limited ingredient salmon and brown rice was discontinued. Unfortunately, this food is giving her dry skin. We will have to try

Suits my dog

I was advised by my vet to try this food as my Labrador had built up an intolerance to her previous food. So far so good. She really likes it and it seems to suit

It's yummy!

Only reason it gets 4 stars is that it leaves my dog poop too soft to have a clean pickup with the doggy bag.

The picky doodle really likes this

My other two will eat anything, but tl my one doodle is so picky. She really likes this a lot and I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but she had been really itchy

My other two will eat anything, but tl my one doodle is so picky. She really likes this a lot and I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but she had been really itchy lately and since I started feeding this, the itching is down 90%. I'll stick with it as long as she will eat this. She's actually excited for meal time!!
