My puppy has diarrhea, no parasites. Could it be food?

Question

We got Stella, an 8 wk old Alaskan Malamute puppy, on Jan 3rd, 2017. She has had loose stools since we got her. She has been treated for worms and Coccidia. Stool sample is now parasite free - still no relief from diarrhea. Have tried two different brands of kibble. Yesterday only fed her boiled chicken breast and rice. After two meals of that stool is much more firm. Is it just the food? Pet's info: Dog | Alaskan Malamute | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 28 days old | 28 lbs

Poor Stella! It's very possible that she may have a food allergy or intolerance to something in the kibble she has been eating. I would recommend talking with your vet about this, as she may benefit from a prescription GI diet or a limited-ingredient hypoallergenic diet such as Purina HA or Hills z/d.
