Supplement to settle a dog's stomach?
Discussion
Jackson the Springer's had I think 3 periods of vomiting within the last 3 months or so with no obvious cause. Two lots weren't too bad but a few weeks ago it was combined with some diarrhea so I took him to the vet who diagnosed a stomach bug of some sort.
I was wondering whether there's something I can give him on a daily basis to help keep his stomach healthier, like people use fish oil for joints. He's been on Skinner's for years and other than this recent problem it's great stuff, but seeing as he's now about 9 years old maybe I should move on to their senior mix?
Cheers

I've had Springers/Cockers for longer than I care to remember and have never had any longterm gut problems. They have been fed everything and anything along with all the "tasties" they pick up on a daily basis.
They get fed what they are fed whether they are 6 or 16 and I have had no complaints so far.
I know this goes against the latest thinking but I find it works. I can honestly say that I know many owners of probably hundreds of spaniels that think the same.
IMO theMaRacketeers have done a really good job.
OP is perhaps your dog finding a source of "tasties"?

He only grabs some 'tasties' (good word for them!) very occasionally as I keep my eyes open for him sniffing around them, but I suspect that the problem a few eeks ago was caused by a left over kebab or similar he came across in the village one morning...
I'll try adding yogurt once he's eating again, that makes a lot of sense.
Thanks!
