What treats are best for dogs with sensitive stomachs and diarrhea?

Question

Can I give my dog a carrot a day as a treat? Most dog treats give him diahorrea as he has a sensitive stomach and I don't want to keep giving him his dry kibble as treats when I train him. are there any dog treats that are made for sensitive stomachs? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | unneutered | 6 months and 11 days old

Hello and thank you for posting your question on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There are treats that are specifically made for sensitive stomach here in the US, but I'm not quite sure what is available in the United Kingdom. I do know the treats made for sensitive stomach are not easy to find in your local pet supplies stores. I have many clients with animals with sensitive stomachs, food allergies, or IBD who have questions similar to yours. What I tend to tell them is to ditch the commercial treats and feed fresh fruits and veggies to your dog as a snack or a treat. A couple baby carrots a day make great treats as well as green beans! sliced applies and berries like blueberries make delicious snacks as well that are healthy and also good for their teeth! Of course too much of anything (even a good thing) can be a bad thing. Too many fruits and veggies can cause diarrhea, so I would limit the amount of these you give to Ziggy daily. I hope this has helped and best wishes to you and Ziggy from across the pond!
