What food helps my puppy with soft stool and a sensitive stomach?

Question

My dog's stool is often very soft, sometimes to the point of diarrhea. I have tried different foods, making sure they are high in fiber, but it still is happening. He is a 10-month old Miniature Schnauzer (a breed I know to have sensitive stomachs). Do you think feeding him a mix of Purina Beneful Prepared Meals Stew Variety Pack Wet Dog Food and Midwestern Pet Foods PRO PAC Ultimates Puppy Chicken Meal and Brown Rice Formula Dry Dog Food is ok? Pet's info: Dog | Miniature Schnauzer | Male | neutered | 10 months and 15 days old | 17 lbs

Hi there. In general, it's okay to mix foods like this if you want to. However, if you're looking for something specific that's likely to help Domino's recurring GI issues, I would consider a prescription GI diet such as Hills i/d or Purina EN. These diets are specially formulated for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and often work very well for problems like this in my experience. Some over-the-counter diets may work as well, but it may take a lot of trial and error to find something that works.
