Best dry dog food for gas and loose stools after prescription diet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Norfolk Terrier | Male | neutered | 1 year and 7 months old | 11 lbs

I need help finding a dog food for Flash, who I got 8 months ago. He keeps having gas and very loose stools. He's been on Hill’s Prescription Diet Digestive Care i/d since May 27 & is doing well, but I want to go to a regular dry dog food. I've tried 1. Ziwi Peak Air-Dried Venison Dog – terrible gas 2. Royal Canin Veterinary Diet Selected Protein Adult PD fed to my old Norwich, Flash did OK 3. Merrick Limited Ingredient Diet Grain Free Duck & Sweet Potato – loose stools & gas. Suggest a dry food

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Flash. If you are interested in an over-the-counter diet for gastrointestinal issues, I would recommend trying Purina ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach. I have had a clients who have had good results on this food. As with any diet change, you will want to transition gradually over 7-10 days. This will help to limit any GI upset. Good luck!
