My German Shepherd has diarrhea. What food helps sensitive stomachs?

Question

In the past 4 hours my 7yo German Shepherd has pooped 4 times and it's diarrhea. His food is Alpo but I think we need to change it. What food should I feed him? I want a small bag so we can see how it does for him. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | neutered | 80 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Remi! Diarrhea can be from many things: intestinal parasites, viral or bacterial infection, are something gross, food allergy or especially in German Shepherd pancreatic insufficiency and inflammatory bowel disease. I would fast him for 12-24 hours to rest his intestinal tract. Then feed a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Feed 1 cup per 20 lbs per day until 2 normal stools. I like Hill’s Science diet, Royal Canin, Purina Proplan or Iams/Eukanuba. Good luck!
