Ron,
Thanks for starting this post. Again, you are not the only one feeding Pedigree. I have been feeding it to my rescued Lab (Miley) for 8 years now and she was recently diagnosed in November with diabetes (420 glucose level) and immediately started her on insulin (11 units) 2 x per day. While a lot of her symptoms have subsided and she went from 80 pounds to 70 pounds, her glucose level will not drop below 300. I have been researching different dog foods for a few days now and was appalled by what I have read about what is in Pedigree and the low nutritional value. No wonder her glucose level will not drop. I feel like such a horrible doggie mom. Because there are so many dog foods on the market it is so difficult to find one for a diabetic dog that is low carb, low fat, low on the Glycemic index, less than 20% of the calories are from the carbs and costs less than $50 a bag. The brands that have a specific line of diabetic products do not get very good ratings either. Because of all this research, I found this website in the hopes of finding something better to give Miley. So if anyone has any experience or suggestions, I would truly appreciate the assistance. My head is swimming right now.
Thanks in advance,
Retha
