Hello and THANK YOU for the reply, Mom2Cavs. Lily’s vet suggested grain free, but I’ve looked on Chewy.com and found the Wellness Toy Breed which is rated 5 stars. It has ground brown rice, ground barley and oatmeal, but no corn or corn gluten. So it wouldn’t be grain free but it would be without the corn, corn gluten and wheat.
I’ve been feeding a little Merrick grain-free canned on top of my Cavaliers’ dry to help make the fry a little better, but all three of my Cavalier are voracious eaters, so no worries about appetite. Their dry was Victor and Iams Veterinary Formula because Dr. Jones doesn’t like too much protein, so I mix the two to keep the protein down. My Cavaliers get Carlson’s Fish oil, about 1000 mg, twice daily. It has made a huge difference in their heart health. Piper (6 years old) was diagnosed at 2 yrs. of age with early onset MVD, stage 0, and she actually improved at her 3 yr old check up. Maintained ever since. Presley has the same but with irregular heartbeat, and his checkups at 2 years old and at 3 were great… maintaining well. Do you give your Cavaliers fish oil?
I would like to hear about the CoQ10, though. Is it for people like my Carlson’s and you give it to your dogs? What strength, etc? Thanks again for your kind reply!
