Dogs have diarrhea when you suddenly change their diet. When changing to a new food, you have to go slowly and only add a tablespoon or so of new food with the old food. Even a healthy dog experiences diarrhea with a food switch, boiled chicken and rice are mild on the stomach, but can still cause diarrhea. Don't allow yourself to run out of his food, always keep some back and if you want to make a food switch. go slowly. Many prescription foods are available at Petsmart and Petco, and your dog may not even need a prescription food. Rice and chicken are good for short term; they are not balanced for a long-term diet.
