Hi Karen g, wholehearted is only carried by petco. Their skin formula has hydrolyzed salmon as it’s only meat source. It is the only over the counter food I’ve seen with hydrolyzed protein. I’m sure there are maybe a few others, but I have not seen anything mainstream.
I’m assuming you’re vet recommended an elimination diet when he prescribed this food right? I don’t believe royal Canin foods are worth a quarter of what they charge nor should the majority of their prescription foods be fed permanently. I’m sure there is a quality food or diet out there that will work with your dog, it will just take time to find. If you can ask your vet about an elimination diet to figure out what causes flare ups with your dog that will help u a lot in the long run.
Susan, who has commented above, has a lot of experience with severe ibd so I would check out some of the stuff she’s suggested as well.
