Ray TMember
Hello, I am new to the forum. I have a one year old miniature Schnauzer. I am aware of their tendency to get hyperlipidemia, pancreatitis and such. Could anyone suggest a dry kibble that is low in fat and would be a good life long food providing it is tolerated. She has been on Blue since puppyhood but have been advised that it may be a little to rich for her.
The prescription brands have a low rating, but are used by Veterinarians, so what should I do?Ray TMemberHelloâŠâŠâŠ..anyone out there? Dogfoodadvisor.com
Akari_32ParticipantWellness has a reduced fat recipe you may want to look in to. I use Wellness for all my dogs and cat, and they do great on it.
InkedMarieMemberHopefully Melissa will see this.
crazy4catsParticipantHere we are, Ray T! I’m never sure what people mean by a food is too rich for their dogs. Do you mean that it has too much fat, too much proten, or both?
A lot of the healthy weight and senior recipes tend to be a little lower in fat. In fact, I just bought the Nutrisource senior formula for my two dogs who are only three years old. I feel like I add toppers that tend to be a little high in fat so I should try a lower in fat kibble. I haven’t opened it yet. I’ll let you know how it goes. It has 26% protein, 10% fat, 5.5% fiber and 392 calories per cup. It’s a chicken and rice formula.Ray TMemberThanks for the replies. I am thinking about trying Annamaet low fat formula. It is only 7% fat but 30% protein , maybe a little high for a small dog. What do you all think?
crazy4catsParticipantI think that sounds like a great choice. Others have mentioned good results with this food!
theBCnutMemberHigh protein is good for little dogs too. My 12 1/2 year old JRT still hunts every chance she gets, and she catched stuff too, yuck! Before I upgraded her diet, she was starting to show signs of age and arthritis. Now, she acts like a young, healthy, energetic dog and she has added a lot of muscle.
DogFoodieMemberHi Ray,
Take a look also at Go! Senior, Wellness Core Reduced Fat and Orijen Senior. All are excellent foods with high quality protein, lower fat and higher fiber.
