Just an FYI: Special diets aren't always just for upset tummys. A/D, as mentioned by member Sammy Mommie, is a condensed food packed with nutrition for dogs and cats that aren't eating their regular diet (either they can't or they've lost their appetite), or recuperating from illness or surgery. It provides the body with what it needs for healing to progress.
I give my dogs and cats Chicken Baby Food as a treat, as some don't care for it when they first try it. After a few offerings, it is very well accepted, and I can give meds with it or feed it as a bland diet in a pinch for anyone not feeling well or off their feed. If mine refuse chicken baby food, I know they are really sick and make plans to see the vet. This also makes it easier on them if they need to be hospitalized, as I let the vet know they will take their meds with BF so they don't have to use a pill popper on them.
