I would also be giving pro biotic plain yogurt to help his stomach balance back out. If your dog is having diarrhea- plain canned pumpkin (not the spiced kind that you put in pie- just plain pumpkin) will take care of that.

I would do this for maybe 5-7 days and then slowly start adding his food back in.

But that's just me

My vet recommends the chicken and rice diet as well. I know their are dogs that have to eat I/D but my guys don't like it and this way I get to pamper them with a little home cooking when they are not feeling well.
