I don't know if it's something more serious - your vet seems to have ruled that out so I'm going to answer assuming it's just the change in food.

OK Loki had terrible tummy issues until he was about 10 months old. Just one new kind of treat, a change in food (we did the same thing, wanted to change his food but just kept having problems) ANYWAY, it seemed to be a puppy thing and once we got him stabilized and he got a little older he was fine.

What worked was feeding him rice. Chicken & rice is good, but if you are trying to introduce and stabilize the kibble just add plain cooked rice to the kibble or even give it separately before or after a meal. This helped so much and Loki's favorite food is still rice. You can get brown rice at the store but I think we just used minute rice because it was easy to prepare every day. It's not for nutrition it's just to bind them up. I know everyone is all about the grain free right now and I don't disagree, but my dogs have digestive problems whenever we try grain free. And since I don't enjoy waking up to them puking on my bed and they don't have any rice allergies, we feed Innova. I think LA is a pretty good food? I've never fed it but it's probably fine unless your dog is allergic to something in it. I think the vet can test for allergies if you are concerned about that. Otherwise you have to do an elimination diet which would just mess with their diet more right now and that's probably not such a good idea.

Good luck!
