Puppy chew suggestions for sensitive stomach

5 replies

Jeni1206 · 10/02/2023 10:00

Hi all,
My 5 month old pup has had a funny tummy for 2 days now. He is ok in himself and still eating and drinking.

There have been no changes to his food at all, so we are wondering if it his down to his chews. He is very bitey and therefore normally always has one on the go and uses one to settle before sleep too. He has Whimzees, and his current favourite is dried camel skin bones. We are wondering if it could be these causing the problem as he is now more able to get through them quicker than when he was younger, perhaps it is too much for his stomach.

Of course it could be unrelated (and perhaps just something he ate while out on a walk, he is only on lead so we normally spot this but could have missed something). But I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of chews, and which are the easiest on young tummies? He has no interest at all in plastic you type ones. It would be a shame for him to not have anything to chew on but I'm wary of these ones he has at the moment in case they are causing the problem.
Any advice would be amazing.

Have you tried the Yak chews

Yes - unfortunately met with complete disinterest! But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Ostrich is very popular here and that’s supposed to be ok for sensitive stomachs .

I might not be related some dogs just don't have great tummies like humans, I would give him chicken and rice for dinner for a few days or perhaps add a probiotic yogurt to his dinner. One of mine is problematic in the same way. Keifer or Raw goats milk usually help to sort out the imbalance in the stomach.

Cows hooves are very good they last ages, word of warning though the smell awful for a couple of days.

Thanks for replies.

Ok so maybe cow hooves or ostrich might be worth a try. (Sure any smell won't be as bad as the state of my lounge where he slept last night!)

He is only on dry puppy food at the moment for his meals.
