My best advice try a different protein source and try grain free food for her.  Porky has tummy issues from corn and chicken.  We get all our pet food from Mr.Chewy.com and have had success with Blue Buffalo Wilderness and Taste of the Wild foods.  Any other foods seem to cause tummy upset.  But, mostly its trail and error until you find a food that doesn't make your pupper sick.  Also if switching food, slowly mix it over a 2 weeks with the old food, (gradually adding more of the new food) to avoid making the tummy issues worse.   Another thing to note is that is usually takes a few weeks after feeding the new food, exclusively before you will know if it works well for them or not.  Sometimes, it can take up to a month.   Good Luck!!

This food has quite a few ingredients I would not feed my dogs soybean meal,dried beet pulp If you want to stick with Purina they have one called Sensitive Stomach allot of Doberman people feed. You might go with the Wellness Small dog thats what I'm feeding Patches she is such a pig the one I get is for weight reduction.
I have feed Canidae and Taste of the Wild grain free,now feeding Buddy Premium Edge sometimes if you feed a higher quality food it cost more but you can feed less of it because you are feeding dense calories.
You can go to this web site to check out different foods   www.dogfoodanalysis.com   I have been reading dog food labels for years and years the ingredient list on the back of the bag.My sister feeds her poor Boston terrier Beneful she says it has pictures on the front with vegetables her poor dog weighs over 50# I read the back of the bag beneful has sugar in it no wonder her dog likes it.

Schatzi has done really well on the Wellness Small Dog Healthy Weight. It really does seem to keep her full and has kept her weight down. It isn't grain-free, which I usually prefer, but weight-wise, it seems to work the best without any itchies or stomach problems.
