I do not have a specific recommendation of food for you, but wanted to know how long have they been on it, and did you taper down their old food and slowly add the new food? Sometimes that can cause stomach upset if you switch too fast. Also, not every food is good for every dog. At one point, Ino was slowly switched over to Wellness brand food, which a lot of people have said worked wonders for their dogs; however, Ino did not tolerate it well. It was too rich for his body to digest it properly and he ended up with runny and eventually bloody stools (I think the blood was do to the runny stools). The vet told us to change foods and he has now been on Nutro large breed lamb and rice as his main food with taste of the wild food as treats so he does not get as many biscuits for training and he has tolerated both of those foods well. He also gets cooked meats, rice, greens, sweet potatos, cottage cheese, or yoghurt added into his evening kibble pretty often(rotated out- not all at once). Hopefully you get some good suggestions here and find a food that works well for your dogs.
