How do I know if my dog has a sensitive stomach?
A dog with a sensitive stomach will have a lot of gas. A dog with wind could be caused as the food it is consuming is too high in protein or carbohydrates. Wind in a dog could also be a sign that a particular ingredient in the dogs food does not agree with the dogs stomach and is causing bowel irritation. Some dogs have a noisy tummy which means it is struggling to expel gas.
Another clear sign that a dog may have a sensitive tummy is that the dog may be vomiting.

A dog may have a temporarily upset stomach if their food is changed dramatically, it is important to slowly change your dog’s diet if the dogs’ diet needs to be changed. This is done by adding the new food to the current dog food over a few days: for example day 1 would be 75% original food to 25% new food, day 2 would consist of 50% original dog food to 50% new dog food, day 3 25% original dog food to 75% new food, day 4 can then be 100% new dog food. Slowly changing a dog’s diet will prevent upset stomachs, vomiting and diarrhoea in dogs.
