My puppy has diarrhea from kibble. What food is best for her?

Question

My six-month-old puppy was having diarrhea so we switched her to a bland diet of chicken and rice. Her stool quickly became normal again. When I tried mixing some kibble into the chicken and rice, her stool got loose again. (This was just regular puppy kibble.) What should I do next? I want to make sure she’s getting the proper nutrition but regular kibble doesn’t seem to sit right in her tummy.

It is a good sign that she improved with a bland diet, I recommend returning to chicken and rice with a probiotic such as fortiflora for 48 hours then slowly adding a sensitive puppy food (royal canin gastrointestinal junior or calibra puppy is my preferred option). Add kibble at no more than 20% every 2 days to allow the gut to adjust
