20 best foods for one vine with a sensitive belly
Boiled boneless skinless chicken breast…..light salted chicken broth. Simmer for 30 minutes. Cut each brisket into 3-4 pieces, drain the broth until it runs out….1 piece/meal. For stomach disorders, this is very stable. Binkie has never eaten dog food and his vet says he is a very healthy 13 year old boy!

Veterinarians can prescribe anything suitable but we have found Hills’ ID low fat prescription diet to be very good and really great for the sensitive tummy area. It comes in canned and kibble forms. We always get regular stew-free formula when doing the KD diet later in life. It’s not too rich. We always go with the vet’s recommendations. At one point, she was also on the Purina Pro Plan hydrolyzed diet. That is also good. Hope good things come to you.

Rice. Maybe some chicken if no allergies. Also Pumpkin puree is very gentle

My Spaniard has a very sensitive stomach and the only food that works for her is Eukunuba Sensitive Digestion. It’s chicken and rice plus all the nutrients she needs.

My Bichon/poodle has stomach issues, after doing some research I found an easy recipe to make in the crockpot and catered to him and my little Maltese girls. They love it!! Ground chicken, rice, peas, sweet potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, green beans. One cup lasts for a week, we freeze it into 1 cup and heat it gently. We add a little dry food and vitamin supplements every day.

I grilled chicken breast and shredded it, I gave my baby a scientific diet with sensitive stomachs and mixed with about 1 tablespoon of chicken juice…. and NO treatment at all… she doesn’t know what’s different… and she doesn’t beg…. canned pumpkin is also recommended but she doesn’t like it… so we just eat chicken and a healthy diet.. her #4 lbs

Our little Maltese had a sensitive stomach when it was young, and the Veterinarian recommended Royal Canin for Small Breeds, and it solved its problem, it still eats the same food, Small breed, but now an adult breed.

We use Hill’s Science for sensitive skin and stomachs. Our girl won’t eat pumpkins. Chicken rice is good but doesn’t last long. Veterinarians can also prescribe a bland diet for Hill’s… made a big difference for us. Hope your fur baby feels better!

When Tammy’s stomach upset, I cooked some rice and slowly cooked the diced chicken in the pot. When cooled put some rice, chicken & some chicken broth in her bowl, she loved it and served it deliciously.

Suggestion only. Both of our poodles have sensitive bellies and fart more than we care about. Finally went to another vet. She ordered both the Royal Canin Veterinary Diet – Best Prescription Dog Food… and never had any problems. We will take a box of moist canned food and a large bag of dry food. Good luck..
