Sensitive Solutions Digestive & Immune Support Dry Dog Food
Verified Jun 14, 2026
This is an all-life-stages dry dog food designed for dogs with sensitive digestion, using chicken and whitefish as its main animal protein sources. It provides moderate protein and fat with added prebiotics, multiple probiotic cultures, and beet pulp fiber to support gut health and a stable microbiome. Antioxidant vitamins C and E, along with omega fatty acids, round out the formula for puppies through seniors, including large-breed dogs.
Nutritionally, this is a well-balanced, mid–to–higher protein dry food that should suit many dogs with mildly sensitive stomachs who tolerate chicken and fish. I like that it’s formulated for all life stages, including large-breed growth, and it combines several gut-supportive elements: prebiotics, multiple probiotic strains, and moderate fiber from beet pulp. It relies heavily on chicken (including organ by-products) plus corn meal as key ingredients, which is fine for most dogs but not ideal for those with chicken sensitivities or owners seeking a more legume-free and fish- or novel-protein–based option.

At a Glance
KibbleLab Review
Strengths
- Complete and balanced for all life stages, including growth of large-breed puppies, which has stricter nutritional requirements.
- Multiple high-quality animal protein sources (chicken, chicken organs, chicken by-product meal, whitefish, and menhaden fish meal) provide a good amino acid profile.
- Thoughtful digestive support with beet pulp fiber, prebiotic fructooligosaccharides, and three probiotic strains (Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei, Bifidobacterium animalis).
- Includes omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids plus antioxidant vitamins C and E, which support skin/coat and overall immune function.
Considerations
- Chicken and chicken by-products are prominent; this food will not be appropriate for dogs with chicken allergies or strong sensitivities.
- Corn meal is a main carbohydrate source; nutritionally this is fine, but may not suit dogs needing very low-carbohydrate diets for specific medical reasons.
- Fat and calorie density are fairly high (about 17% fat and ~407 kcal per cup), so portion control is important for less active or weight-prone dogs.
- Uses BHA as a preservative; current evidence supports its safety at pet food levels, but some owners may prefer to avoid synthetic preservatives.

Top 5 Ingredients Explained
01
Chicken
Chicken is a common animal-based protein in dog and cat foods, supplying essential amino acids, B vitamins, and energy-dense fats that support muscle maintenance, growth, and overall health; for cats it also contributes toward dietary taurine but must be present in sufficient amounts or provided via supplementation. It is prized for its digestibility and palatability, though some pets develop sensitivities or allergies to chicken, and nutritional value and safety depend on ingredient quality and processing—raw chicken carries pathogen risks and whole bones can pose choking or GI hazards.
02
Chicken By-Product
Chicken by-product is a common protein ingredient in pet foods made from edible parts of the bird not typically consumed by people—such as organs (liver, heart), necks and other tissues—and is used to add protein, flavor and nutrient density. It can provide concentrated protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins and minerals (and may contribute taurine when organ meats are included), but composition and quality vary by source, so pet parents concerned about sourcing, higher ash/fat content or chicken allergies should check the manufacturer’s labeling and quality standards.
03
Corn
Corn is commonly used in dog and cat foods as a digestible source of carbohydrates and calories, and it also provides some plant protein, fiber, B vitamins and minerals while helping with kibble structure and palatability. While generally safe and economical, corn is relatively high in starch and has an incomplete amino acid profile for obligate carnivores (cats), can be a source of mycotoxin contamination if poorly stored, and although true corn allergies are uncommon, some pets may be sensitive, so quality and proper formulation with animal proteins are important.
04
Chicken By-Product
Chicken by-product is a common protein ingredient in pet foods made from edible parts of the bird not typically consumed by people—such as organs (liver, heart), necks and other tissues—and is used to add protein, flavor and nutrient density. It can provide concentrated protein, essential amino acids, B vitamins and minerals (and may contribute taurine when organ meats are included), but composition and quality vary by source, so pet parents concerned about sourcing, higher ash/fat content or chicken allergies should check the manufacturer’s labeling and quality standards.
05
Beet Pulp
Beet pulp is a moderately fermentable fiber ingredient derived from sugar beet processing that is commonly added to dog and some cat foods to provide soluble and insoluble fiber for healthy digestion and firmer stool. It supports beneficial gut bacteria and satiety by producing short-chain fatty acids, but it is not a significant source of protein or vitamins and quality can vary, so pets with specific dietary sensitivities or strict low‑carbohydrate needs should have its use discussed with a veterinarian.
