I've read through a couple of threads about tinned chappie being good for sensitive tums. Has anyone had positive results with the dry chappie? (The smell of tinned dog food makes me heave).

We have tried the dry chappie and wouldn't recommend it.
I found Diesels coat was dull and had bad skin.
He became constipated on it too. He never finished a bowl when we used it either.
We have moved on to nature diet now, have you tried it for Alfie?
I found it worked great for Diesels delicate tum.
Jenson is on dried chappie, and he does great on it. He had terrible colitis on other dried foods and he will not eat the tinned chappie despite him being a really greedy dog.
He loves the dried stuff and his poos are now nice and firm for the first time in ages. He has been on it 5 months now, has gained a little weight at last and looks better than ever.
The girls are on skinners duck and rice, but it just does not suit him.

Dry Chappie was the only food Lyra could eat from when we got her. Everything else upset her tummy, she thrived on it glorious coat and and a good tum.
Personally, I think not every food suits every dog so you may find it best to try something for a month at a time.
As someone else said I guess every dog is different and it really is trial and error I think.I gave my last ole girl chappied dried as was recommended by my vet as she had severe Pancreatitus and it worked well with her and wasn't costly either compared to the food that I had been giving her up to then.
Just thought I'd update on this. Finally changed Alfie over to dried chappie last week and his poos are the firmest I've ever seen them. A peculiar orange colour, but beautifully solid
The ingredients still make me want to cry though: Meat derivatives
So after trying Burns, JWB, Oscar, Skinners we might have found the solution to Alfie's dodgy tummy.
