Help with food!!!

[Lisa]

Hello friends, I am new to the group. I have a 6.5 month Golden Doodle named Dempsey, I also have two yorkie mixes Jax and Bella. 

I am having major issues finding the right food. We have a couple an after a while we have discovered we think the Dood has chicken allergies. We switched him to Purina Pro Plan lamb and rice, per vet suggestion and it wasn’t getting any better, got worse actually, so we changed all the dogs to lamp and rice thinking he was getttig into their food as well so still being exposed to chicken. So all dogs were on Purina. After doing extensive research, I found that Purina is not a good food, so after doing more and more research we decided to switch them to Taste of the Wild lamb, all three dogs... They have all been transitioned over to it for about a week fully now. Have’t Seen any issues until last night when Dempsey was up three or four times to go out which he NEVER does then I was woken by the sound of him having a diarrhea blowout all over my bedroom... 

So I was reading on my facebook groups and then someone posted about the issues people were having with TOTW so now I am worried I made the wrong choice... Is it that or does he have a bug?? He was scheduled to have his surgery tomorrow but I have canceled that because I have a household full of sick humans and now he has diarrhea so I didnt think it would be a good idea to throw a surgery in the mix too. 

My questions is, should we stick it out with the food we have or are the reviews people have given as bad as they sound and should I get him off of it today?!?! 

I have not given him anything to eat today yet for the fear of more diarrhea...

Please help.. I have no idea what to do! I called the vet and they didn’t seem concerned about it. Said they could give me a probiotic?!? Does that sound right?? And we could watch him. But after reading all those reviews I am even more lost. I thought I was switching him to something good and now I have no clue. 

Any words of advise are welcome!!
