Our vet suggested Innova years ago, and our dogs have been on it ever since. It doesn't contain any of those fillers like some of the others do (even Iams and Science Diet have them now). I believe this brand ranks in the top 3 for healthiest foods for your dog. You should be sure to run any kind you choose past your vet for approval tho, since he knows the issues your dog has and certain ones, even if good, may pose a problem.

I always say if you want the best go royal. Royal Canin Is in my opion the best dog food on the market today. It is the only dog food made speciffly for different breeds. They have boxer food chow food lab food any purebred out they they most likely have a type of food for it. If money is no issue go with that. I would not suggest pedigree or ol' Roy. both of those are the cheapo brand. Your dog won't be as healthy as she could be.

The best dog food that I can recommend is Nutro Natural Choice dog food - There is a sensitive stomach formula with lamb, rice and oatmeal.
Benefits:
1. Nutro doesn't you any by products - heads, feet, intestine or feathers.
2. No Corn because it's hard to digetst.
3. Contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin to lubricates joins to prevent dysplasia and arthritis
4. Contains antioxidents to support brain function, immune system, nervous system, and skeletal system.
5. They guarantee skin and coat
6. They guarantee the dog will love it
7. They guarantee digestibility - they will absorb more minerals and vitamins so smaller stools

I have a chow lab mix, she gets a sensitive stomach and has food allergy's which makes her itchy, My vet wanted to do tests that would have ran over $1000.00 easily. I buy mine Purina sensitive systems comes in a big purple bag. Also I will only feed her dog food that is Lamb or Salmon, this has stopped her stomach problems and itchy-ness for he past five years. Good Luck!

Check out Lucy the Wonder Dog's "Dog Food Report". Personally I feed Chicken Soup for the Dog lovers soul--but there are many good foods without fillers.

I might try Natural Balance Duck and Potato or Venison and Brown Rice with a doggy with a sensitive stomach. Sensitivities can be signs of an allergy, and these foods are good for food allergies. My dog is allergic to rice and the duck and potato has agreed with her wonderfully.

I have a lab that has a very sensitive stomach. First, I would advise you to avoid table scraps. Labs are subject to being overweight and table scraps are not good for their stomach. Secondly, I would buy small bags of different dog foods and observe how your dog responds physically and if she likes them.

For the first answer-hills science diet-uses coran as the first ingredient in many formulas, you call that a good food?
use nothing with corn in it, Authority and Nutro Ultra holistic natural foods are best.

Our breeder and vet both recommended Eukanuba or Iams. Both are made by the Iams company. Also Science Diet is good. Check with your vet for your dogs nutritional needs. Don't ask the people at Pet Smart or Pet-co, they always recommend the most expensive which is not always the best. Good luck.

NUTRO, we switched from Iams for our lab-mix. Consult your vet. (s)he should be able to give a recommendation.
They have a couple flavers (beef/lamb) and can get it at any Petsmart. We're using the large puppy formula (lamb) for our 6-mo. old.
