20 Best Foods for an Alaskan Malamute with a Sensitive Tummy
I used to cook my Malamute white rice with ground red meat (beef usually) when he had stomach issues . He loved it. However, you need to have him checked to make sure this isn’t leading to a bigger problem. I’m also begging all of you to make sure you give your babies plenty of good bone vitamins because they’re very prone to hip dysplasia in later age.

Our Mal will be 3 in March and we have had this struggle. We have her on this now for about 6 months and she’s done great. It’s a prescription but we’ll worth it.

Raw meat diet, or cooked meat! Depends how they deal with it! Either way, meat fish bones, affal & muscle! Mine is sensitive and will eat raw in some meat and cooked in others! He likes what he likes! It is always best, how he likes it! He must know what is best for him! He won’t eat it if he doesn’t like the meat raw then when I cook it he will eat it! Lol he’s a funny boy tbh but I give him what he wants and he doesn’t have tummy issues! Mine is 9 yrs old and still acts like a puppy tbh ! I won’t give mine dry food at all! Turns him into a poop machine lol

It really depends on why she/he has a sensitive tummy. Every dog is different. It could have an intolerance to chicken, beef or grain, or something else. Raw is usually good, but until you know what the triggers are it’s just a process of elimination. Vets will usually put you on a prescription diet of processed food, which may work but sometimes makes the problem worse. Try to keep it relatively simple while you trial things in brackets of 1-3 weeks. It’ll be easier to pin point the triggers
