suggestions of canned food, for dogs with sensitive stomachs

 Sounds like he might benefit from probiotics and/or something like prozyme

As for canned food I have recently started using Evo canned venison for evening meals and my dog seems to do well on it

  Geno is really cute. Jessie has had chronic pancreatitis for four years and has a hair trigger stomach; we have to be very careful with her diet, especially the amount of fat. Geno probably doesn't have pancreatitis but what we've learned may help. Do you check the guaranteed analysis on the cans for fat content? Chicken is normally low fat but not when it's been processed and made into tenders, and pizza crust is high in fat, so sensitivity to fat may be at least part of Geno's problem. Fiber can also also be important; Jessie does best with low fiber but some sensitive dogs do better with more fiber, depending on the cause for their digestive problem. If the Canyon Creek foods and Science Diet Turkey work for him, you may want to find other canned foods with similar fat and fiber. Dogs with sensitive stomachs can react to the protein or carb source too. The reason he eats a particular food well for awhile and then stops may be because he's learned that you will cater to him and give him something else. It could also be because something upset his system. For example, Jessie is stressed by going to the vet and she will have a very picky appetite after a vet visit. The stress upsets her stomach and she blames her food. So, you may want to think back to when he suddenly stopped eating a food he liked and see if there was something that caused stress for him. It could be anything that he doesn't like or a change in routine, such as a change in your work schedule. Good luck with finding the problem; hope this helped.

Nancy, You've got to stand up and take responsibility for your dog's diet.  That is your job.  It's not your dog's place to decide what he will or won't eat.  If you have had young children, I'm sure they didn't decide their diet.  If they had it would have been only cake, candy, and ice cream.  Put his food down (the food you decide he should have) and leave it for 10 minutes.  If he hasn't begun eating after 10 minutes take it up and put it away until next meal time.  Not for a few minutes.  Not for a few hours.  Until next meal time with no snacks or treats between meals.  Put the same food back out again next meal time and repeat the process until he eats.  Once that happens you probably won't have that problem again.  If you do, you know what to do again.  Don't take the attitude that you are starving your dog.  You aren't.  You are offering him food each meal time.  He is the one deciding whether or not to eat.  Don't beg, cajole, or otherwize entice him to eat.  Just put the food down and step away.

My next suggestion is to consider a prey model raw diet for your dog.  I see posts on every dog discussion board on the internet about dogs who are fed commercial diets having "sensitive stomachs".  I have seen tens of thousands of posts about raw fed dogs without any having "sensitive stomachs".  Dogs fed a proper prey model raw diet don't have sensitive stomachs.  They can eat most anything whether or not its actually editable.  In 11 years of feeding multiple dogs this diet, I have seen 2 cases of diarrhea and maybe 3 or 4 cases of vomiting.  That is hardly sensitive stomach.  I have fed meat, bones, and organs from many different animals.  Most of the food is human quality but some was terribly rnacid.  The rancid stuff had no ill effect.  No diarrhea.  No vomiting.  My dogs have eaten road kill squirrels that have been dead for a week or so and a road kill deer that was dead for several months laying unseen in some bushes next to a ditch.  Once my Abby found the deer, she ate on it for a week until it was gone.  The point I'm trying to make with this story is that dogs fed a prey model raw diet don't have sensitive stomachs.  You don't have to gradually change meats.  Mine rarely eat the same thing 3 meals in a row.

Anyway, If you want to know more about properly feeding a prey model raw diet, check out http://www.skylarzack.com/rawfeeding.htm  You can ask any questions you like after you read it.  My suspicion is if you contiue to feed commercial food you will have this problem throughout the dog's life.  Switch to raw and the problem will disappear.  I have seen this happen hundreds of times.
