I'm sorry but I don't have access to your previous question. The results of the tests you posted are essentially normal with some mild thinking of the stomach lining. Since I don't know his clinical signs it is difficult for me to make recommendations. Did the vet that performed the testing not give you any recommendations? Is he having gastrointestinal signs like vomiting and diarrhea? If so, I would recommend Royal Canin gastrointestinal diet as it is easy to digest. I hope you are able to get this diet in Iran. It is best to ask your vet this question as they know what diets you have access to.

My dog has a sensitive stomach and won't eat. What food should I try?

You can try several other brands of food that are good for dogs with food sensitivity, such as Fromm, Merrick limited ingredient, or Victor to name a few. There are also prescription brands that are designed for pets with sensitive stomach, such as Royal Canin hydrolyzed protein or Royal Canin Gastrointestinal that you can discuss with your vet if interested. I hope that are able to get something that agrees with Louis's stomach and also is appealing to him soon. Best wishes and take care!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Flash. If you are interested in an over-the-counter diet for gastrointestinal issues, I would recommend trying Purina ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach. I have had a clients who have had good results on this food. As with any diet change, you will want to transition gradually over 7-10 days. This will help to limit any GI upset. Good luck!

My dog has a sensitive stomach & is picky. What food is best?

You can try the duck or fish to see if Sadie likes that better, but do the food switch slowly over the course of two weeks to prevent further GI upset. Royal Canin has a sensitivity controlled food (Royal Canin Sensitivity Control) that may work for her as well. I hope this helps!

My dog vomits after eating. What food is best for a sensitive stomach?

I'm sorry to hear that Sophie is intolerant to the foods you are trying. This may be a sign of a chronic underlying problem with her stomach like IBD, food allergies, or pancreatitis. You can try feeding a formulation of a bland diet like Hill's I/d or Royal Canin Gastrointestinal. You can also try a hypoallergenic diet or a novel protein diet. If the vomiting persists, she should be examined by a veterinarian to determine what the underlying problem may be.

Senior dog with digestive issues: What food to avoid grain-free risks?

Yes, you are correct that there is concern that no grain foods may potentially linked to heart disease, and the FDA is now investigating that. Personally, I recommend feeding Gypsy Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. I feed my own dogs Iams and they love it. I hope this helps!

Can all my dogs eat Royal Canin GI food if only one needs it?

Hi there and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While Royal Canin gastrointestinal diet is a prescription diet meant for dogs with gastrointestinal problems or sensitivities, dogs that do not have any gastrointestinal issues can also receive this diet. However, I would be sure to check with your veterinarian to ensure it is okay for your other two dogs to receive this food. Dogs that have certain medical conditions such as liver or kidney disease should not receive any diet or food that is not approved first by their veterinarian. I hope this helps!
