Best dog food for a collie with acid reflux and sensitive stomach?

Question

Our three year old collie has acid reflux and I cannot find a food that she can eat that doesn't cause her discomfort. Any suggestions? Pet's info: Dog | Collie | Female | spayed | 2 years and 6 months old

Thank you for your post! This may be a diet sensitivity problem. How many foods have you tried and how long have you done a food trial for? There are prescription low fat diets such as Hills I/D and Royal Canin GI low fat that can help with sensitive stomachs. You can give pepcid AC but since I do not have a weight, I would contact your veterinarian who has Trudy's recent weight to give you a dose. If you switch to a new food, I would try a novel protein such as salmon or venison and give this 4-5 weeks to see if there is any change with the reflux. If reflux has not been diagnosed by your veterinarian, this may not be the problem either. If Trudy has not been to a veterinarian for this problem I would suggest setting up an appointment to have a vet check her out. Please feel free to contact me with further questions / concerns. I am also available for consultation.
