malomurd on Poop pills for dogs with IBD??
Reply To: Need help with a higher or lower kcal dog food.
“The vet is putting you on the wrong track IMO.
You are using one of the best kibbles available (despite my strong preference for PMR raw, as a disclaimer).
Other formulas are going to increase calories from carbohydrates which is a huge negative and will directly de-condition your dog as a result of the dietary change.
The āonly working dogs require proteinā argument is a fallacy.”
That PMR raw site is amazing. I’m pretty sure my family would vomit during every feeding. Seriously though, going from 17% carbs to more than double, if not more, is not the direction I want to go with Harper. I wouldn’t mind eliminating the peas altogether, but they are a little further down the ingredient list for Victor, and I’ll likely have to compromise protein or fat content. My vet did recommend Natural Balance L.I.D, while not truly horrible, is a step back. Glad she didn’t recommend Hill’s…because I like the practice and would hate to leave it. Thanks Bill, I appreciate your insight.
