My 4-months-old Schnauzer puppy has digestive problems (diarrhea) every time we try to feed him dry puppy food.
He came to us from the breeder with a sample of Eukanuba Small Breed Puppy, and from the first day his poop was soft/liquid and he was gassing profusely (very bad smell). We had to put him on home cooked chicken and rice blunt diet that stopped diarrhea. After that

I have been told they can not eat food with corn products in it. We get ours food at the farm supply and it says no corn on it.
Yes small dog just give a teaspoon of pumpkin no sugar in it this will stop loose bowels and make tummy feel good give 1 teaspoin daily is good for their stomach protects from diarrhea and constipation. So get can pure pumpkin put in a bowl with lid give it teaspoon daily small dog. Large dog give 1 tablespoon daily makes them happy just add it in their food
My mother has a small Westie and he also has problems with dog food and most people food. For the last 6 years she has been cooking chicken, rice and beans for him. The chicken is roasted, all skin and fat removed, and chopped up small. She boils the rice and veggies. Freezes this mix up in 1 cup portions for her pup.
I have a standard Schnauzer that had the same sort of problems at 4 months (he is now 7 months). I kept contributing it to eating dirt (although he didn't eat much of it). The only thing that seems to have worked is FortiFlora by Purina.
Also, adding canned pumpkin to the food helped keep it firm
I have two mini Schnauzers and both have bad stomach problems. My vet told me the reason for my dogs' problems is because they are eating too much fat. She explained to me that their body can't break down fat and that is what caused all the problems. Well it cost me over 500.00 dollars to find this out so I hope I can help someone out.
Mini schnauzers are also prone to pancreatitis and then diabetes from the damage that does to the their ability to make insulin. Minis need very little fat and it should be monitored closely. Even the special treats at holiday time, with lots of fat, can cause this. A dog with diabetes then needs insulin twice a day at regular times, needs blood work regularly to be sure they are on track with the insulin. Blindness is a side problem as well as slow healing. Please research and handle with due diligence.
You might just have to stick with the chicken. When our pup was 6 mths. old she got parvo and as she recovered she would not eat...we cooked, boiled chicken thighs and cut them up. She is now 13 and that it what she has eaten all her life. It is cheaper than dog food. A pack of 14-16 thighs cost about 3 or 4 dollars at Sams or Costco. I boiled them in a big pot about once every two weeks and wrap them in wax paper, she gets one a day.
Try "GRAIN-FREE" food.
HI, YES, HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH TWO OF MY MINI SCHNAUZER'S SWITCH TO SCIENCE DIET ADULT MINI BITES AND HAND FEED HIM. THEN MAKE SURE HE DRINKS LOTS OF WATER, DO NOT FEED HIM ANYTHING ELSE AND HE WILL GET BETTER FOR YOU.
PS, STAY AWAY FROM PEOPLE FOOD AS I WENT THAT ROUTE FIRST THEN THEY STARTED TO THROW UP PROFUSELY WITH THE RUNS, WAS NOT FUN AT ALL, I WAS SO WORRIED THEY WOULD SURELY DIE. I STILL HAVE THE ONE MALE, THE OTHER I GAVE AWAY AND NO MORE PROBLEMS ON THE SCIENCE DIET. HAND FEEDING I SUGGESTED AS IT WILL SLOW DOWN HIS EATING. GOOD LUCK! WORKED FOR US!
My schnauzer is 5 years old and does not tolerate dog food. She gets gassy and has diarrhea. She has had chicken or hamburger and rice most of her life. I had a schnauzer before her that was the same way. She lived to be 16 years old eating chicken or hambuger with rice.
My Schnauzer, Jackson, is 4.5 year old. He always had sensitive stomach as a puppy (while on Max puppy food), he had diarrhea, vomiting etc., I am feeding him now natural food cooked by myself cooked chicken breast (no skin), chopped turkey, boiled salmon, cooked vegetables (broccoli, zucchini, carrots - he loves carrots), yams, rice (for carbs) and canned pumpkins. Addition of low-fat cottage cheese (ca. 3x a week) and low-fat yoghurt (no sugar added) has done miracle... No other treats but dog chicken breast treats from "Whole Foods". He is healthy - no diarrhea, no vomiting, no schnauzer bumps. It doesn't take much time at all to prepare all this - you can just put everything in microwave if you need to cook or into a boiler. Your dog is your baby, you want to give him/ her the best.
we had a situation once with one of our little dogs where we had to crush the dry dog food in our blender and it worked well for the dog
My daughter dog did eat like that I bought a slo bowl it did help
Maybe buy a scoff stopper bowl that may help
Try ginger root 1/8th teaspoon...you can also check online for amounts for puppies.
