food
Submitted by tootiekiwi on January 4, 2014 - 9:21amI have a 4 1/2 month old male olde English bulldog. He seems to have a sensitive stomach. From day one he has had loose stools and very frequent, like anywhere from 5-7 times a day. I only feed him 1 1/4 cup in am and 1 1/4 cup in pm and about 1/4 cup in the afternoon. My vet had put him on royal canin gi high energy for his stomach but didn't really help she also did a round of probiotic which maybe helped firm them up some but not the frequency , so at pet smart they recommended natural balance synergy. that has helped firm them up but not the frequency. any suggestions. his coat is great, no itchy skin. he does great just a lot of poop.
thank you

No suggestions but I'm sure someone here will know
How much does he weigh? I don't know if this is an allergy or maybe something else? Have you tried a little youghurt in his diet? You'd just need a tablespoon or two a day.
I went through a ton of different foods.............
My oldest bulldog had a sensitive stomach and loose stools. I went through a lot of different foods trying to firm him up. He seemed to do best on a middle range protein food (like around 21 grams protein) instead of a higher protein food. I feed them grain free, as he had an allergy to corn and chicken. It's a crap shoot until you find something that works.
I finally found a food that worked well for the stools. It has nothing to do with a food for sensitive stomachs, but I used Premium Edge sensitive skin and coat, and his stools were the best on that food. Costco has a grain free food that both my dogs have also done well on.
good luck.............
Also, check her mouth and gums...
add a heaping tablespoon of plain canned pumpkin to each of his meals. This will help firm him up.
