Something my family learned with Misty (my old 65 lb dog), who had a sensitive stomach, and with raising guide dogs, is that whenever you transition a dog from one food to another, do it gradually, or it WILL get diarrhea. The dog just isn't used to the new food.

Then again, that's what I learned about big dogs. My family's vet told us that dry kibble would be best for Tristan, because smaller dogs can have teeth problems, and they're more prone to teeth problems if they are on a wet food diet.
