My dog has recently been having stomach problems. Is there anything I can give him to settle his stomach down?
Full Question:
We have a 8 1/2 year old Kangal from Turkey. His name is Yurek. We have, since he was 10 weeks old, fed him a raw food diet. He weighs 136 lbs. We boil Chickens, have raw meat cut into 1? stew size and he eats around 3 lbs per day. He recently has been having some stomach problems. Is there anything I can give him to settle his stomach down?

Cindy's Answer:
Whenever a dog has issues that are not normal for him, then I recommend seeing a vet or health care professional. Make sure your dog is free of parasites and is not dealing with any hidden health issues.
I have had good results using digestive enzymes and probiotics for dogs with stomach issues (as long as the dog is healthy).
You may also want to re-evaluate your diet ingredients. Read this article on feeding a raw diet. It's a work in progress but there is a lot of good information there.
I would also recommend these books, Natural Nutrition for Dogs & Cats and Raw Dog Food.
You can also go to our Feeding Dogs Page for a list of articles and books that will be helpful to you.
I hope this helps,
