I’ve had great luck with Canine Caviar but will be feeding steamed rice, pumpkin and boiled chicken for a while until things settle down.

Nutro is what all lines get. They don’t eat much. Less tiptoe and the rain will melt it away. Although it’s not cheap, you don’t need to buy much.

My first Rottie had a very sensitive stomach – back then we fed the Purina One with lamb and rice – it did it very well. There are many other good brands out there that cater to this, so you probably have quite a few to choose from. Most are very expensive tho’. I feed my small dog Royal Canin canned and low fat canned food. She does a great job on it but it’s very expensive.

My Rottie also has a sensitive stomach. Tried everything, she’s in Rachel ray chix and veggies, seems to be the only one who agrees with her. Sometimes I’ll add some pumpkin. And when she gets upset from eating something outside, of course it’s rice and rice for a few meals. But def Rachel ray chix and vegetables! Good luck

Hills Winston’s prescription diet supplemented with gas x before each meal and a dose of pre and probiotics in his food, suffered from bloating twice and this worked for two years, very expensive when he eats four cans a day but it keeps him from getting the vet,,

I cook rice, carrots and chicken. He doesn’t eat his solid food without it. Alternatively, pumpkin puree works just as well. Not the pumpkin filling though. Must be pureed.

Canned Rachel ray for digestive issues is good but the really great thing in my opinion is The Farmhouse Dog. You order online and let them know if your breed has any performance issues like stomach upset, itching, necessary weight loss etc you can try it for around $50-60. It’s sent frozen and it’s proportionate to your variety. We started our year old on it and he loved it. We’ve seen an improvement in his coat weight and itch. Unfortunately it is expensive for a Rottweiler due to their size. We are paying 120 a week. We hope to keep him temporarily. When I reach old age, I will do anything to help them have a great life. Rottweilers are known for stomach problems like regurgitation etc.. prilosic can be helpful but check with your vet. Good luck.

Hills Science or Buffalo Blue. My vet suggested I boil lean ground beef and chicken, adding brown rice and sweet potatoes. He prescribes supplements. After my guy passed it. I will make half the prescribed food and half the cooked food. He did well. And we gave frozen chickpeas as a snack.

Acana beef and pumpkin works for my sensitive girl. We found out that she can’t eat chicken but can eat fresh boiled chicken. She also has beef stew with zuchini and 90% lean burger added to crunchies. We soaked it in warm water until it was tender before she ate the meat. If she happens to have loose stools, Diggn hardens with chewiness, make a pumpkin apple pectin powder that will help immediately

Fromm. It’s the only thing we feed our dogs and there’s no table food or grocery store junk food. All natural dishes. Our Rottie would be sick of anything else. Unless you want to make your own food, but you have to know what you are doing to give them what your body needs.
