Hi Melodie-
First of all, I don’t think prescription food is terrible if your pet has a medical condition requiring it. Especially a life threatening condition, such as bloat. If his stomach twists while being bloated, he could end up in an emergency condition needing surgery to save his life. Have you ever discussed adding a little canned food to his kibble with the vet? I’ve read that it may cut down the possibility of bloat along with not a lot of exercise or activity after eating. I also think that it sounds like more tests need to be done to figure out exactly what is causing this issue. Scary stuff!

I feed my cat Royal Canin Rx kibble along with mostly canned food due to his tendency to form crystals in his urine. I’m not taking any chances on another blockage. The food is expensive and the ingredients seem weird to me. But…the food is keepng him flowing like a horse!! Good luck! I hope you find something that works!
