Re: Chappie Dog Food in the US?
Our fairly new, adopted-from-shelter puppy arrived with a nice dose of diarrhoea.
The vet suggested California Natural chicken/rice as it has very few ingredients. The diarrhoea has gone but he's very bored with his food now.
I boil up some chicken breasts and chicken livers to have as treats for training, and he adores them.
I'm not sure what we'll do next, but the California Natural has really helped with his sensitive tum.

You could try different foods by CN to give the dog some variety but do the transition over several days. Also you could try adding some water to the dry food.

A little bit of salmon or sardines mixed into the dry food? That is what we do with ours as she isn't too fond of dry food, we had a 1tsp of either salmon, cooked but cooled and pureed and mix is into her dry food, we do the same with the sardines.
The vet gave us the idea instead of using wet food to mix in.
Obviously with a bigger dog, 1tsp may not be enough.
Our's is a little dog, and just doesn't seem to like dry food, but eats it no issue with a bit of fish mixed in.
