Switching foods for sensitive stomach pup

Hi everyone! We have a 3 year old pembroke, Flash, about 25 lbs with a VERY sensitive stomach. We've always fed him Nutro lamb and rice, even as a puppy, but I've been thinking about switching to something better since his stomach is so sensitive. His stomach doesn't seem to be bothered by his current food, more like stress and most people food. Does anyone have any suggestions or tips for sensitive stomach corgis? Any foods anyone recommends? Thanks!

If he has that sensitive a stomach, why mess with him. If his coat looks good, he's happy, peppy, at a good weight, and has mostly firm poop, I'd leave him alone. It can sometimes take a good bit of time to get a tummy back in shape once it's upset.

Dexter has a sensitive tummy also and we feed him California Natural. He has done very well on it.

Noodles has a sensitive tummy and he is on chicken and rice right now. We were giving him lamb and rice and due to some health issues, we are trying something different. He hasn't had any problems with it. I know the brand is Diamond, but I can't think of the specific name, sorry.

I agree with Karen, why even risk it? Especially since you know he has a sensitive tummy, why switch foods? If he's been on it for 3 years and has a good coat and good energy I wouldn't mess with his food.

I went through a mess with bella and her tummy. I also feed her TOTW, lamb. The chicken and rice didn't work for her and the vet thought she might have a chicken allergy. If you do switch....do it VERY gradual....
