Just another thought. How many times a day do you feed your dog? I've found that dividing the daily ration into two feedings (a.m. and p.m.) helps the stomach from being completely empty and is helpful. I'd also cut out the cheese, as already mentioned. Grains can sometimes cause tummy upset, common in the bully type breeds (I used to have boxers). Sometimes kibbles that are high protein and fat can also cause stomach problems for some dogs.
Which Taste of the Wild variety did you feed? A boxer I used to have could only eat the Pacific Stream variety. The others caused stomach distress, b/c they were higher in fat and protein, which he couldn't tolerate. The Sierra Mountain - lamb (same protein/fat % as the Pacific Stream made him itch). If I fed a kibble higher than 25/15%, tummy troubles soon followed.
Some kibbles that may help a sensitive tummy dog are: NutriSource Grain Free, California Natural Grain Free, Zignature Grain Free, Back to Basics Grain Free. If you can't find them locally, Chewy.com has them.
Cut out all treats except occasional pieces of kibble, baby carrots, or no-salt green beans. Most are empty calories anyway.
A tablespoon of plain, no-fat Greek yogurt daily may be helpful unless your dog can't tolerate dairy. Avoid the flavored kind - unnecessary sugar and calories.
