A worried owner reaches out
Shona reached out to us on social media with a heartfelt message that stopped us in our tracks.
"Please help. My beloved pup Kilo is not doing very well on his current food. He has too much gas and loose stools. Please help us."
Digestive issues like excessive gas and loose stools are some of the earliest signs that a food isn't right — especially for growing puppies. Shona was worried, and rightly so. When your puppy isn't comfortable, it affects everything: energy, confidence, bonding, and day-to-day happiness.
At Ultimate Pet Foods, we welcome these challenges. With access to over 50 carefully formulated recipes, we're confident there's a solution for every dog — and often a much better alternative to what they're currently being fed.
Understanding Kilo
Before making any recommendations, we gathered the essential details about Kilo so our nutrition team could find the right match.
Once we had the full picture, our nutrition team got to work finding the right recipe for Kilo's age, breed, and needs.
The right food for a growing puppy
After reviewing Kilo's age, symptoms, and current diet, our experts recommended starting with a superior grain-free puppy recipe with Freshly Prepared Chicken, Turkey and Salmon — a significant step up from his previous food in both ingredient quality and nutritional value.
Grain-Free Puppy — Chicken, Turkey & Salmon
Designed to support sensitive, developing digestive systems with freshly prepared protein, grain-free carbohydrates, and added prebiotics for gut health.
The recipe was chosen specifically to support:
- Sensitive, developing digestive systems
- Healthy growth and muscle development
- Skin, coat, and overall wellbeing
- Puppy-specific nutritional needs for every stage of growth
Unlike many mainstream puppy foods that rely on meat meals and fillers, Ultimate Pet Foods uses freshly prepared meat or fish — never meat meals. For a bulldog puppy with a sensitive stomach, this difference in protein quality can make all the difference to digestive comfort.
Kilo's first reaction — no hesitation
Not long after the recommendation, Shona placed an order — and shortly after that, Kilo's food arrived. Now came the most important part. Would Kilo like it?
We're happy to report — Kilo didn't hesitate for a second.
Kilo diving straight into his new food — no sniff-and-walk-away here.
As the video shows, he was straight into the bag and enthusiastically munching away. No hesitation. No sniff-and-walk-away moment. Just pure puppy excitement.
"The food smells so good I could eat it!"
That initial reaction is always a great sign — because even the best nutrition only works if your dog actually enjoys eating it.
Three bags in — and thriving
Now on his third bag, Kilo's transformation has been everything Shona hoped for. The digestive issues that prompted that first message have completely resolved, and Kilo has since graduated from his puppy recipe to an adult grain-free formula as he's grown.
Kilo today — settled, comfortable, and full of energy
From puppy to adult — exploring the range
One of the joys of a grain-free range with over 50 recipes is the variety. Kilo has been able to explore different proteins as he's grown, keeping mealtimes exciting while his digestion stays settled.
Across every recipe Kilo has tried, his digestion has remained settled. Perfect stools, no gas, and consistent energy — regardless of which protein he's eating. That's the sign of a gut that's genuinely happy.
The difference, side by side
"I wish I had only reached out to you sooner."
"The information and support is so good. I feel like they really care about our dogs."
Many dogs don't need more food — they need better food
Kilo's story is one we see every day. Dogs struggling with gas, loose stools, or digestive discomfort are often simply eating the wrong food for their life stage or individual needs.
With the right nutrition — matched properly to age, breed, and symptoms — even small changes can make a big difference. Kilo went from a worried message on social media to a thriving, comfortable dog enjoying mealtimes and exploring new flavours.
If your dog is showing signs of digestive discomfort, the answer might be simpler than you think. We're always here to help you find the right recipe.
