Plus, that's really bland and good to get rid of loose stools before you try another dog food. If he does better on just the chicken, look for a "grain-free" dry dog food (such as Orijen for example) and try that for at least a week or two (he may need to adjust to it again). I'd start there and see what happens. | Thanks, good advice.
