What dry food is best for a picky dog with a sensitive stomach?

Question

What type of kibble would you recommend for a picky eater? Marley often vomits within 1-3 days of eating wet food. He sometimes doesn’t eat all of his dry food. None of this is new. I would like for him to have something that tastes good to him so that he eats his food better. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years old | 10 lbs

Unfortunately every dog has a different taste. It is a matter of you trying a few different brands to see what he likes. It is most ideal to mix the old food with the new food to help prevent him from getting an upset stomach. If he has a chronic issue with vomiting, I would look for foods that are for sensitive stomachs. You can also add some chicken broth or a few pieces of boiled chicken over his food to help entice him to eat it more quickly. Also know some dogs are slow eaters or nibblers. If he eventually eats his allotted amount by the end of the time, this is okay. If the vomiting continues, I would have your vet take a look at him as this isn't normal. I hope this helps!
