Restricted, Bland Diets​

My Frenchie was having terrible stomach problems but this food solved her problem, she is a happy dog now!

I have a large-breed mix rescue puppy that has really struggled with belly issues he came in with - giardia that he couldn't clear, worms, and reflux. It's been rough trying to find something that didn't give or worsen his diarrhea and vomiting that he also liked to eat - a sore belly meant he got really picky about his food. This bland diet has been exactly what he needed. He eats it up just as quickly as he did his previous favorite food, and it really seems to keep his stomach settled. I put his antacid pill in it and I don't need anything else to hide it - he just scarfs it up. I feed it along with dry puppy food and he's happy and growing like he's supposed to be. If this didn't work, my next step would have been homemade meals, which with his age and size would be a huge investment of time and money, so I am very grateful to have this as an option. If your pup has a delicate digestive system, it's worth a try.

Excellent food!!! It helped my little dog out SO much! No more diarrhea!

I have an elderly chihuahua/mix dog and she while has always been extremely picky, she now has occasional pancreatitis attacks. When this happens, I can usually interest her in small servings of food by offering her some of Dave's. I keep it on hand for her, but my other dogs love it too.

I’ve never seen my one lab eat so fast in her life. Two chocolates and one is really picky. We got these because we are running low on their dry food. Omgosh she ate like she hasn’t eaten in days. I shall see how it affects their tummies and update but I’m sure it will be fine oh and she ate it faster than the hills sensitive stomach. Next time I have to chop it up really good so they don’t inhale it hahah

My dog loves this stuff! I give it to him when he’s having stomach issues. My only complaint is that the price keeps going up.

Wow, incredible, the missing link, a Godsend. If I could thank Dave personally, I would tell him that his life’s work, creating his Bland Diet and other special “restricted diet” dog food formulas, has indeed been a gift to the world. My 12 year-old Rottweiler, Raji, has come a long way. A rescue dog from The Animal League of Green Valley south of Tucson, he was one year-old when we adopted him and brought him home to join our 6 year-old Boxer mix, Dharma. Raji loves the desert and was my wife’s daily companion for 7 years, patrolling a 3,000 acre Mesquite Bosque that my wife managed for The Nature Conservancy in Arizona. He has walked 1,000’s of miles in his position and has stayed healthy and strong. Raji has been on a Victor grain-free kibble diet mixed with a bit of high-quality canned meat and raw meats occasionally. Only in the last 2 years did he begin having digestive issues that caused him to vomit and not be able to get the proper nutrition that he needed. We did some research and read how older dogs needed more quality protein and decided to eliminate the kibble and give have much more canned meat. It worked for a while without any issues until he reached 11 years-old and then just couldn’t keep any canned dog food in his gut. Blood work at the vet showed that his liver and kidneys were healthy, and the good doctor summarized that it was his stomach and digestive system that was slowly failing. Pepcid and other meds were tried, and we also switched from Blue to Canidae to see if one was more effective than the other. Sadly, neither one corrected his stomach issues. We did find that a “Maze” bowl, that causes a dog to lick out his food slowly rather than “Scarf and Barf”, was extremely helpful, however it still did not do the job. If he ate more than ½ can in one session, he vomited. I did some deep research online concerning a “bland diet” and fortunately found Dave’s Restricted Bland Diet. I watched his short intro video explaining his philosophy and desire to help dogs stay healthy and was impressed by his honesty and caring attitude. Needless to say, I ordered a case immediately and began Raji’s new diet. It took a few days of only Dave’s Bland Diet and Raji began eating more and keeping it all down. I have doubled his daily intake without witnessing any “gurgling” or weird stomach-churning sounds, previously accompanied every meal. And it was loud enough to keep me awake at night since his bed is in the same room. Worse, it was a loud prelude to the coming volcanic eruption of white bile or whatever it truly was. Dave, thank you from my heart. I hope that you feel satisfied that your life’s work is effective and truly admired by dog lovers. You have created a life-saving food that will see Raji making it through more months and years. If any readers here have had the same struggle with their special friends, order Dave’s miracle food now and save your dog’s day.

Very good product for a non-prescription chicken and rice bland dish to help a dog back into GI health.
