What is the best dog food for dogs with sensitive stomachs?
Both of my dogs tend to vomit, vets say there is nothing wrong with them, but I have heard changing their dog food to one for sensitive stomachs may help. Do you have any advice?
Neither of my dogs eat fast or too much. Both are very healthy weight wise. Female Husky 50 pounds and Male Pekingese is 14 pounds.
They were eating a holistic dog food but they stopped around the time of the pet food recall. They just wouldn’t eat it anymore. So we switched them to Iams.

Iams is horrible.
The best food for sensitive stomachs is California Natural. IT is for sensitive stomachs that is the purpose of the food.

How can I get my dogs more interested in their food?
I have 3 chihuahua mixes but they aren’t interested in their food at all. I’ve tried many dog food brands like evo and blue buffalo but they aren’t interested in it. I’ve been slowly transitioning but it won’t work. I’ve tried wet dog food, not working. I’ve tried the meat kind of wet dogs food not working. I’ve got nothing else to try.
My dogs are eating but they just eat a little and walks away. And sometimes another dog gets more than another. And another is thin. I can’t think of anything else.

How thin is the thin one? Do its ribs show? Many dogs will wolf down more than is good for them and look for more. Others refuse to eat more than than they need. Evaluate the dog as illustrated in this link, http://www.longliveyourdog.com/twoplus/RateYourDog.aspx You may want the vet to confirm your judgment. Adjust the dogs food and exercise as needed to reach its ideal body condition. Some German Shepherds and other breeds may refuse to eat enough to completely hid their ribs. As long as you are feeding a concentrated, meat based chow, the best thing is to accept it.
The worst thing you can do is to bribe a dog with rich foods into eating more than it needs. Instead, Put down the dish with what the dog should eat, and give it 15 minutes to eat. Then take it up. Do not give it anything to eat until its next scheduled meal. In a few days, it should be eating what it needs. Continue to check its ribs and adjust the food as needed. This is not easy. I had a Shepherd go 3 days on a few nibbles. I was a wreck, but she was fine. It is almost unknown for a healthy dog not to eat what it needs. Unfortunately, in too many cases, it is less than the package says, and less than the owner thinks the dog should have. Many dogs are quite good at holding out for tastier chow. Like kids, sometimes it calls for tough love.

How to kill birds that eat my dogs food and drink my dogs water?
I know that birds carry things that could hurt my dog. I feel sorry for my dog that has to eat/drink after these birds. The bird droppings are everywhere including in my dogs food and water. I have tried the fake Owls and streamers and nothing works.
