Food for sensitive tummies

I have a 2 year old Coton, female. I'm in a bit of a quandry about food brands.

To start with, she was on Lily's Kitchen (wet) which she loved and hoovered up, but I think it was a bit rich for her, as she was prone to a runny bottom.

I then moved to Symply Chicken and Turkey wet foods, on a recommendation. Brilliant for her tummy, but she's not mad about it. I mean she'll eat it, but not super keen.

So as a trial I started mixing in some McAdams Chicken with Garden Veg/Turkey with Veg into the Symply. She went nuts for it - she could be in the front room and if I opened the packet in the kitchen she'd be in :-)

However she's again showing some signs of soft/squidy poos. Could be unrelated but I'm putting her back just on the Symply. I've put the bowl down just now; she sniffed at it and went back to sleep.

I know she'll eat some later if hungry. My dilemma is that I feel really bad if she can't have her favourite foods due to being sensitive.

Any thoughts on other brands that are worth giving a go? I might give the McAdams another go, just putting in a really small amount. But welcome any advice from others who've had this issue.

Thank you!

Millies wolfheart is one of the best. They have a great customer service / advice. My pup does great on it ( and she has a tendency for loose poos). Chicken and rice are not great for sensitive tums. Mashed sweet potatoes are good for soft poos. I would not let her graze. Take it up after a short time.

If you can afford it, Arden Grange Sensitive white fish and potato is good. They do wet and dry. I buy it online from Zooplus as they always seem to be the cheapest. It's the only food we've tried that doesn't upset ddog's tummy.
