Best canned stew dog food for senior dog with sensitive stomach?

Question

Recently, Tot refuses to eat anything other than canned stew types of dog food. However, her stomach is extremely sensitive, despite slow transitions, stool is liquid. Her vet has prescribed pro-pectilin, which seems to help, but not enough. She currently eats Dave's pet food stews. We have also tried Instinct with the same result. She is 14 and is in what I've been told is the end stages of heart disease, so I want her to have the best food possible. Any suggestions?

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Tater-Tot (great name!) I am sorry that she is not doing well. It is hard when senior dogs stop wanting to eat the food that agrees with them the most. Since she has a sensitive stomach and likes the stews, I would ask your Vet about Hill's i/d stew. It is prescription but it is an intestinal diet so she may tolerate it better. Also Weruva makes a human grade canned food called Funcky chicken that is human grade. Looks like chicken soup, I have heard that 90% of dogs that don't want to eat will eat that. I wish you the best
