I suggest you use Purina Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach it has probitoics in it already. It is also recommend you feed multiple small meals through the day instead of only one or two larger ones. Be sure she has a very small amount of food in her stomach right before bed. This will keep her stomach from staying empty too long. I don't know how big your dog is so buy the correct size food for her. This food has small breed and regular size.
