Can anyone give me a few names of good dry foods for dogs with a sensitive stomach?

One of my dogs seems to have lose stools a few times a week so the vet has suggested changing his food to a sensitive one before I start shelling out for expensive tests and such (Does insurance cover these?).

He's currently on Arden Grange puppy food. I have spoken to the fantastically helpfull nutrutional adviser at Arden Grange who recommends their seisitive range, but to be honest at almost £50 a bag, I can't really afford it. I am lothed to change him from AG, but I obviously need to do whats best for my dog.

So if someone could give me a few names of dry foods with decent sensitive ranges I'd be greatly appreciative.

P.S. He's already been on JWB and switched to AG because I couldn't stand the wind any longer. So obviously don't want him back on JWB.

would love to help but ive never experienced sensitive stomachs, id dismiss the claims about dry food and detriment to dogs heath - just to say

edit:
this has been recommended in antoher thread
Burgess Supadog Lamb & Rice for sensitive stomachs.

its maize, wheat and gluten free, has a decent amount of lamb in and is 20% protein which is just on average

I used the puppy food from Fish4Dogs and it was fantastic, it gave Jasper an incredible coat, plenty of vitality and compared to many other 'natural' foods by better known makers, its not actually that expensive (£30-£35 for 12kg). When you also take into account that you need to feed less of a higher quality food it becomes even cheaper, works out to less than a £1 per day for me.

He has had a brief spell on JWB Junior but that did not seem to agree with him so he is going back onto the fish, but the adult version this time. The best thing about this stuff is that it doesn't take me 10 minutes to read through the ingredients list, and the two most important things make up 80% of the food. In both the salmon and cod versions the ingredients are - Fresh Fish 30.5%, Potato 30.5%, Herring Meal 21.4%, Salmon Oil 7.6%, Beet Fibre 6.4%, Brewers Yeast 2.1%, Minerals 0.8%, Vitamins 0.7%.

Now that seems to be about the simplest and most straightforward commercial food I have been able to find.

Unless anyone knows any different?

Most manufacturers do a sensitive diet. I'd say look at some of the smaller manufacturers - Skinners, Chudley, CSJ, Whites there's loads of them.

There are a few good 'sensitive' diets, but I did notice that Whites Premium have a new one out (Light and Sensitive) which is based on Salmon and Rice and looks to fit the bill. (check it out on www.pet-pantry.co.uk)

The main thing if you have an episode of digestive upset is not to suddenly switch foods. It's best to just feed a little chicken and cooked rice (or fish) for a few days to give the system a rest, and then gradually introduce the pet food back into the diet.

Zeus has really smell wind, would I need to get him sensitive stomach dry food?

What is he fed on now? How long has he been fed on it? How long has his stomach been upset?

Well I used to feed him on Bakers, but I switched over to Beta Adult and that's been about a month or month and a half he's been on that.

His poo's are fine I think :s but he just has a fair bit of wind and really smells, so would that classify him to having a sensitive stomach?

Thanks, that's what I have been doing. Thankfully we've only had to do this the once. And whatever food I decide to go with I'll gradually change him over.

Thanks for all the recommendations everyone. I'll check them out.

After a month he should be well settled on his new diet and if he has had no problems up to now it's probably not his feed that's causing the wind. If his poo is ok and this flatulence has come on suddenly it's more likely to be something else he has eaten rataher than a sensitive tummy. Has he had anything else to eat recently, chews, different treats or anything like that? He may also of picked up something whilst out and about. Cut out everything but his main food for a few days and see if it clears, keep back a handful of each meal to use in place of treats and make sure he has fresh water changed regularly.
