Limited ingredient diets come with one major benefit - pet parents are able to identify exactly what goes into their dog's body and avoid any specific ingredients. While a suitable diet for many dogs, LID diets can also be great for dogs with food sensitivities.

I have had very good luck with Purina ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach helping dogs with chronic diarrhea. I would try this. Feed only this food and stop with all the other pumpkin, rice, chicken, etc. If you keep changing things and adding things then you don't know what is helping or hurting. The only other thing I would give is Fortiflora probiotic on top of the food.

A stool sample should be submitted to your veterinarian to rule out intestinal parasites. A dewormer may be necessary. Next, consider a 12-24 hour fast to rest her gastrointestinal tract. Allow small amounts of water or unflavored PediaLyte during this time. Resume feeding a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. You can make a bland diet by mixing equal amounts of plain, cooked white rice with one of the following: boiled boneless/skinless chicken breast, cooked/drained ground beef, cooked/drained ground turkey or cottage cheese. Start with 1 tablespoon of food every hour and gradually increase it. One half to one teaspoon of plain, canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling) can be mixed in with the food for some extra fiber once or twice daily. Feed bland until her stool is normal then gradually, over 7-10 days, switch her to her regular dog food. If the soft stool persists or worsens, a recheck with your veterinarian is recommended.

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! The Science diet sensitive skin and stomach is quite good. I really like all the Nylabone products. I find that dogs really like them and they are fairly inexpensive. They also seem to help with cleaning the teeth a bit. Have a good day!

As you've experienced, diet changes can certainly cause some changes in stool volume, and for some dogs, can cause a bit of vomiting and diarrhea. When it comes to the countless brands of dog food on the market today, it's overwhelming to pick one for your pup. I recommend brands that have been formulated by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist, are manufactured in their own facility (less cross-contamination that facilities that manufacture numerous formulations), conduct AAFCO feeding trials, and meet WSAVA guidelines. When it comes down to it, the brands that meet those criteria include Hill's Science Diet, Purina, Royal Canin, Eukanuba, and Iams. As a result, I would recommend switching Lilly over to the Science Diet puppy food. Just remember that anytime you switch foods, be sure to do so by gradually mixing the old and new foods together over a 5-7 day period. I hope that everything goes well!
