Full Question:
Hi Cindy,My GSD has had a hard time keeping a solid stool and she does not digest chicken at all. I have had her on a diet of Orijen fish food and she can keep a semi soft stool.

I honestly don't know if your dog will tolerate this or not, every dog is different. Some of my dogs have had some gas issues on Grand Flex. When I have a dog with a sensitive system I introduce any changes very gradually. Think a tiny sprinkle on the food for a number of days and then gradually increase.
Have you had your dog's pancreatic enzyme levels checked? If a dog can't digest their food properly I always feel that exocrine pancreatic insufficiency should be ruled out. You can ask your vet to run a TLI test.
I hope this helps.
