Yeah. It’s called a filler. So the little shite doesn’t sit next to me begging for my piece of chicken.

Dogs don't need rice or wheat in their food. If you look at the ingredients, wheat is one of the major ingredients but dogs don't need that fricking shite.


Yep. But ya know what? He likes it. So I’ll mix it in his food every now and then.

Chicken breast and raw egg is good. If need be, give your dog some liver, but not a big piece and raw is best.

Deer liver is a specialty to him he goes ape shite when we’re gutting deer cuz he knows he’s in for a treat.

Hill's Science Diet has a Rx recipe and a non-Rx recipe.

First, go to your vet. Our dog recently started throwing up for no reason. Turns out she has pancreatitis, and it's gonna be a chronic condition for the rest of her life.

She gets Hill's Science Diet Sensitive Stomach dry (non-Rx) with a can of wet food (Alpo makes it - 3 percent fat). On those days when he stomach acts up, we sub out the Alpo can for the Hill's wet food for sensitive stomachs (Rx). That stuff is expensive but it calms her stomach.

She also gets a Tagamet daily to help with acid/gas.

Been using Taste of the Wild (sierra mountain flavor) for my golden for several years, she's always had a sensitive stomach and this agrees with her. It has roasted lamb in it.

Veggie mix is better if you are going full BARF, some fruits as well.

Science Diet Sensitive Stomach. Best on the market that I've been able to find. Definitely not the easiest on the wallet.

I have a lab mix with a sensitive stomach. I took her to two vets and both recommended Purina pro plan - salmon. She has a chicken sensitivity. I feed her treats with no chicken or chicken by product and no table food. She has not had a stomach issue since. On the rare occasion that she gets an upset stomach (usually when my toddler gives her a bite of table food) I give her one pepcid. The issues that she was having were gas/ loud stomach sounds, soft stools, sometimes blood in her stool

Hill’s Science Diet Sensitive Skin & Stomach is the most popular. Has a collie on the new bags.

They’re changing their packaging and some of the bag sizes.

The Purina Pro Plan sensitive food is also good. They have lamb and rice plus a salmon and rice.

I get the a grain free low card food and top it with boiled chicken. She won't eat it without the chicken.

Any recs on a good and cost effective food for a lab with a sensitive stomach.


My lab eats fricking everything, so my recommendation is not about that. We've really liked Victor brand since we brought him home. Never had an issue. His poop is never runny and never all gross and yellowish. Never seems to have any kind of gas, etc.

Our dog loves Ollie. It’s not for poors, which is why we are going to switch to making his (raw) food soon.

It’s personalized for your dog and shipped weekly.

Hes getting huge and currently eating a car note a month in Ollie.

His favorite treat is the marked down steaks at Albertsons-especially when they are a little brown and smushy.

Purina Pro Plan salmon and rice is what was recommended to me. I've used Pro Plan 30/20 for years. I run labs in field trial competition
