Diabetes-what is a great Kibble brand?

[Emily A]

My dog has Diabetes & Cushings, and the nutritionist recommended Purina Pro Plan DCO. I am not happy w/ this as it’s 1st ing. is corn, beet pulp ,poultry by-products, corn gluten meal, beef tallow.etc.
Everything I have read says the ist. ing. should be real meat, no non-specific by products, and whole veg. & fruits. What would be a good brand and what have other people used.

I have never had a dog with diabetes, and am not a nutritional expert, but I suggest something low in carbs; such as: Solid gold Barking at the Moon, or Evo Turkey and Chicken; or Nature’s Variety Instinct Chicken.

Read the ingredients for Zignature Zssentials multi protein formula, on Chewy.com. It also lists what it doesn’t contain. Purina should be banned, my opinion, of course.

Emily-

Pro Plan DCO is specifically formulated by nutritionists for canine patients with diabetes. It is a fine choice. If you do not want to use this food, I would suggest working with a nutritionist to formulate a homecooked diet for a diabetic dog.
