How to recognize a sensitive stomach in dogs?

A dog with a sensitive stomach often shows one or more of these symptoms:

• Frequent diarrhea or soft stools
• Excessive burping or flatulence
• Vomiting after eating
• Itching or skin problems
• Reduced appetite

Sometimes there is a food intolerance or a reaction to certain proteins or grains.

What is the best dog food for a sensitive stomach?

The best dog food for a sensitive stomach usually meets these characteristics:

1. One clear protein source
   Preferably choose food with a single protein source such as chicken, lamb, or salmon. This reduces the risk of intolerances.
2. Easily digestible ingredients
   Look for terms like "highly digestible" or "digestive support". These foods are specially developed for sensitive dogs.
3. Limited ingredient list
   The simpler the composition, the better. Avoid long lists of artificial additives.
4. Possibly grain-free
   Some dogs respond better to grain-free dog food, although this is not necessary for every dog.

Ingredients you should avoid

For dogs with a sensitive stomach, it's best to avoid:

• Artificial colors and flavors
• Cheap meat by-products
• Excessive wheat or corn
• Unknown "animal derivatives"

Quality dog food contains clear and recognizable ingredients.

Dry food or wet food for a sensitive stomach?

Both dry food and wet food can be suitable for a dog with a sensitive stomach.

• Dry food is practical and often easily digestible if you choose a quality brand.
• Wet food contains more moisture and can sometimes be gentler on the digestive system.

Many owners opt for a combination.

How do you switch to new dog food?

A sudden switch can cause extra stomach problems. Therefore, transition gradually:

• Day 1-2: 75% old food + 25% new
• Day 3-4: 50% old + 50% new
• Day 5-6: 25% old + 75% new
• Day 7: 100% new food

This gives the digestive system time to adapt.
