Both of my Australians have sensitive stomachs, I have prescribed them I/D of Diet Science, they will take it for the rest of their lives with no problems. They lived for 17 and 16 years. I know it’s expensive but you have to do what’s right for babies.

My Cooper has a stomach bug. I started buying Health Extensions duck seeds for free and it helped a lot. He can’t really eat anything other than that or live.

Depends on what they are sensitive to. Every puppy is different. I would start by getting very limited ingredients and trying different types of protein. Chicken and pork are common meats that can cause discomfort

We have a 9-year-old Australian boy undergoing gastric bypass surgery. We feed kibble as a source of nutrition. Any one of their varieties works great. We also add pumpkin, chicken or rice.

Used to feed grain-free bison and venison flavors but the vet told me to switch to bison and venison antique grain flavors. I have noticed that she seems to itch more now. She also can’t eat chicken so we were limited in what to feed her.

Canned pumpkin is recommended by veterinarians for sensitive stomachs and intestines. My lab suffers from IBD, pumpkin and a grain-free diet were the first suggestions from his vet. He eats about 1 oz per meal, but we weigh 75-80 pounds, so your Toy Aussie will probably be fine with much less. Hint: it can get pretty raw even in the fridge after a few days, so I frozen it in an ice cube tray and kept the bag in the freezer. About 30 seconds in the microwave is enough to melt the cube.

No matter what dry dog ​​food you buy, even if it costs $100 a bag, it’s still processed food. I limit dry kibble, as best I can. Grain Free can help with digestion, but can hurt heart function, so go for whole grains, like oatmeal or brown rice. I also give my dog ​​a few drops of flaxseed oil daily.
