My chihuahua has been on Hill’s r/d for several years now, but she no longer wants to eat it. I would like to transition her to a healthier food that she will like to eat, but it still needs to be high in fiber. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi acarnes –

My suggestion would be to pick out a high quality 4 or 5 star food and add a supplemental source of fiber rather than limiting your options to high fiber foods only. Most health food stores sell fiber supplements with ingredients such as psyllium, pectin, bran, etc. Talk to your vet about how much supplemental fiber you should be giving your dog per day.

What a great idea….I never would have thought of that. Thanks!
