My dog has diarrhea and vomiting, what foods are safe?

Question

My 2yr old male Golden retriever started diarrhea and vomit when he had rice. I switched to royal canin and he's very fine with that. He has parle biscuits for breakfast and bread, carrot or cashews for snacks. He started to vomit and had diarrhea when vet suggested stomach upset and he took pan-d for that. He's stool seems to be bad and with few pellets which might be cashew, but he's not having them since two days. Please help. Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | neutered | 1 year and 11 months old | 62.8 lbs

Poor Leo! The diarrhea could be due to many conditions including eating something he shouldn’t have, bacterial over growth, parasites or even organ disease. If the diarrhea has continued beyond 24 hours, I recommend to have him examined by the veterinarian. With continued diarrhea, there are often bacterial shifts in the gut that will make matters worse regardless of the initial cause. Make sure to bring in a sample of fresh stool. The doctor will check him for parasites and bacterial over growth. Many times a bland diet can help and then a slow, gradual introduction to the normal food can be done. A bland diet can consist of 25% boiled white meat chicken and 75% boiled white rice. This should all be plain. Here is a link about diarrhea which may also help: https://www.petcoach.co/article/diarrhea-in-dogs/ Royal Canin is a great diet and I recommend to stick with it after Leo finishes his bland diet. It is low residue and highly digestible. I hope Leo starts feeling better quickly! Please feel free to post any additional questions.
