There are a few things worse than dealing with diarrhea in your Jack Russell! We asked our 800,000 members from the Jack Russell community on Facebook the following question: “What’s the best food for a Jack Russell with a sensitive stomach?”
Best Foods for a Jack Russell with a Sensitive Tummy
One of my dogs has a sensitive stomach, so I use Butcher’s trays, not tins.

I make my own Jack’s food. I use a base of whole meats (chicken, beef, pork), brown rice, and mixed vegetables. He used to scratch quite a bit but he hasn’t scratched since we started feeding him homemade food.

Not a food recommendation, but would HIGHLY recommend this probiotic chew from Amazon. My dog thinks they are a treat, and it solidified her poop in about 3 days.

I feed my dogs both Jack Russell home-cooked meals, meat, rice, they love carrots, and other veggies, and only pork once a month. My Jack Russell Terrier is 16 years old, and she’s very healthy

We do ground Turkey, carrots, and peas, and sometimes green beans. We give him Science Diet for a sensitive stomach and skin. We limit the kibble, but he needs the vitamins and crunch. He does well with it even though he is allergic to chicken.

My Jack Russell had a sensitive stomach, and our vet recommended Chappie, and it was the only dog food he could eat that didn’t upset his stomach

Boiled chicken breasts, rice, and butternut. My JRT with a history of pancreatitis and high cholesterol eats this. I combine it with a small handful of high-fiber chunks for her meals. And make sure to feed 2 smaller meals a day and not 1 big meal as well. I couldn’t afford the prescribed Hills foods from the vet, so I found a solution that works and is more friendly to my pocket. Since switching to the above years back, she hasn’t been ill with pancreatitis again.

My JRT had a sensitive stomach, and unless I cooked for him, everything bothered him until I fed him Merrick Limited Ingredients Healthy Grains, either Turkey or chicken flavor. He quit having problems after that.

Go brand dog food. Limited ingredients. Green one. Two of my jack Russell’s had skin and cough allergies. Both went away when we started using this food

We feed ours the PEDIGREE Small Dog brand made from steak or bacon. We found that anything with Chicken makes our Jack Russells itch excessively!

My JRT is eating Farmer’s Dog and loves it, and it has all-natural ingredients. But whenever he does have irregular digestion, one scoop of pure pumpkin in his food fixes him right up

Mine has a lot of allergies, but I’ve found the best so far for him has been Naturo. Only trouble is, for some reason, there’s never any on the shelves! Must be popular!
