Check out Canine Caviar dog food – I sell it in my holistic pet supply store – best diet for your dogs is actually a home-cooked (cooked on low & not well-done) diet, but most of us opt for convenience of kibble & cans. Raw is also an option. FYI, I feed my dogs mostly kibble, a few cans a week, raw bones once a week (outside) & cooked food about 3 times a week as a treat/supplement – this gives them varied nutrients (important for health) & varied textures & temperatures (important for your dog’s happiness). Be sure the basis of their diet is a nutritionally balanced kibble with few grains/glutens (if any) & high-quality protein. No wheat, soy, by-products or harmful preservatives! Good luck ^..^

I’m very sorry to hear about your two dogs. I don’t know about any articles on cancer diets, but I’ve heard that Canine Caviar is a food that’s supposed to be good to feed a dog with cancer. I’d go to their website for more info.

I am trying to figure out the best diet for my two dogs just diagnosed with bone cancer. The carbs are key but protein is also important – are there any good articles on appropriate cancer diets where various dog foods have been discussed?

Hi Sheila… The carbohydrate figures I post on the dashboard of each review are an estimate of total carbs only. Since fiber is a carbohydrate, you can compute net carbs by simply subtracting fiber from total carbs (in grams). Since my figures are based upon percentages (not grams), that same computation would probably not be as accurate. Hope this helps.
