They make canine probiotics you can add to his diet but you may need to change to sensitive stomach formula food temporarily until it gets better. you can also deworm him to make sure that is not a contributing factor. If it continues or you notice blood, vomiting or a decreasing appetite, then he should be checked to see what is causing it
