Hi Deborah, with Colitis you have to work out what ingredients your dog is sensitive too?? looking at the ingredients in the Purina EN they aren’t the best he probably would have been better on the Purina HA but its vegetarian diet I will not feed my dog especially when I know he can eat pork, Lamb & Beef, so I can’t do that to him he’s suffered enough with his IBD…. Look at the EN ingredient list it has Chicken By Product, whole corn & rice etc, so stay away from those ingredients…..
My boy has IBD started with Colitis, after trying most of the vet diets that mainly have Chicken & didn’t help him I finally I tried “Taste Of The Wild” Sierra Mountain Roasted Lamb, it’s a single protein (Lamb meal) with limited ingredient kibble or there’s the wet tin as well… or have a look at the “Canidae” Pure limited ingredient wet & dry or “Zignature” but I have never tried Zignature dogs with Environment allergies seems to do well on the Whitefish or Salmon formula’s BUT Zignature does have Chickpeas & Lentils so this will either be a good thing or bad as Chickpeas & Lentils can cause wind/gas something a dog with Colitis doesn’t need…
….I would honestly give the Taste Of a Wild Sierra Mountain Roasted Lamb or TOTW Pacific Stream Smoked Salmon….these 2 formulas have just 1 single protein with limited ingredients…or Canidae Pure Wild Boar buy a small bag Patch does beautiful firm poos & doesn’t react with his Colitis no more & no more pooing blood… Since eating the TOTW & Canidae Pure Wild formula.
