I have 2 boxers but only one with a very sensitive tummy. How would you feed them???? Only one needs sensitive tummy food.
Should I feed both the sensitive tummy food or feed one the sensitive tummy food and the other regular food. I am assuming the sensitive tummy food is more bland and I feel bad giving it to the one that has rock gut. On the other hand I don't want to make the other one jealous that the other one is getting something way more tasty. Plus I am betting he won't eat the bland food and want the other stuff.

I guess I could try separating them out to eat but they won't eat without each other! They always eat together.


Has anyone else been in this situation. What worked for you???

I would feed each dog according to their specific needs. One size does not fit all ;)

Feed them in their crates, or on opposite sides of the same room as supervise if you have trouble with them trying to eat each others food.

I have the same thing...

My Dax has a very sensitive tummy and eats different than Lola. Lola is on Candiae and she can tolerate just about anything but Dax has only done well on DVP Potato and Duck. So I would feed them separately. I did it in the crate for a while and then got them to where I could feed them at opposite sides of the kitchen without too much issue. I know it's hard, they both used to eat each others.

Good luck!!
