My parents have changed my dogs food whilst I've been on holiday!

My elderly rescue dog has a very sensitive stomach, it took us a while for us to figure out she coped better on grain free food.

We've just had a weeks holiday and my parents have had my dog, whilst we've been away they decided to give her a different food! Even tho I took plenty of her grain free food they said she wasn't bothered about it so they've been giving her bakers soft food and she loves it. Not grain free and she's not had any issues.

So I'm annoyed they've just changed her food without even asking, but also now I'm left wondering if the new food will be ok or will it just take a few days to start giving her stomach issues like before?!
Also I know I'm the past when I've changed her food she's had tummy issues, now do I stick with what my parents want her to eat 😩 or shall I risk the tummy upset changing it back.?!

Bakers is absolutely crap for dogs so regardless of whether it makes your dog poorly or not, I definitely wouldn't continue to feed that.

Your dog, your choice but I’d feed the dog what he had previously. And I’d find alternative care if you need to leave the dog again. Your parents totally disregarded your wishes regarding the dog food

If they've just bought the traditional dog food/tripe, it's gluten free.

Bakers is full of crap, it’s basically McDonalds for dogs, I’d just put her back on the food you’ve been feeding her, I wouldn’t keep feeding her that.
