Hi sorry about your sister dog, I thought that wet tin food would be better to digest then a kibble…I have a dog with IBD more small bowel & stomach problems & he doesn’t do to well on kibble…. maybe ask vet about home cooked meals as kibble is very hard on their digestion.. boil some turkey breast mince then freeze little meals also pumkin or sweet potato & freeze little meals….. the Hills I/d Low Fat restore wet tin food is OK but it has rice, rice can irritate the bowel more the Hills I/d Low Fat restore kibble has wheat corn & barley, grains are very hard to digest, if your sister doesn’t want to cook try the Hills wet tin I/d Low Fat restore first & see how he goes.. cooked meals would be the best at this stage also a low residue diet google “low residue foods”…. low residue foods digest easy & are lower in fiber giving the bowel time to heal & rest..normally with small bowel problems you need low fiber diets with large bowel problems you need high fiber diets..
