| It doesn't seem there is because every food you have tried they get diahrrea. Why are you so against staying on the ID if it seems to be the only thing that works?

Purina might have a low fat RX food. I know they have EN but not sure how low fat it is.

YT 2000 Club Member | Dog food They are eating only I'd wet food. I went to petsmart. Read the ingredients on the rx royal canin. Didn't like the first 4. By products . Hills science diet isn't better. Wellness core has 36 percent protein. That's alot. Wellness has a simple ingredient and so does natural balance. What works for you? What to feed these two. Wellness is a good food. |

| I believe they are equal. I would honestly use either. I just happen to be using Hills ID Low Fat for one of my fosters at present; but wouldn't hesitate to use RC

| Let me add this: the man who is a human dentist and leads people to believe he is a nutrition expert and the "holistic" companies started all this hoopla about ingredients. I am not suggesting that ingredients are not important when I say hoopla....what bothers me is that Hill's spends a lot of money doing feeding trials on their foods and they put money into quality control. You don't see recalls like you do with the smaller companies who tout great ingredients. They don't have the quality control that Hill's does....AND I don't buy into the whole ingredients thing anyway. They also spend more money advertising and bashing the big companies than putting money into quality control. I have seen dogs live very long lives on foods that this human dentist self proclaimed expert says is bad food. And, the fact that they bash RX foods from Purina, Hill's and Royal Canin makes my blood boil. Those foods are tested and tested...and they save lives. I have seen the good they do with many pups over the years.

| They are probably about the same. I have been told that Royal Canin is more paletable and that lots of vets are switching to them but that dosent mean they are better.

For the dogs I have taken some of the meat off to use in a cookie mix for the furkids I give the same cookie to both the dogs and cats. They all love it. Be aware that some of the "quality foods" are able to claim a higher level of protein because they add chicken feathers. I found some in some canned food and took the entire case to my vet. He put all of the dogs on I/d and that is the only food any of my animals ever get one cat has to have a bit of water mixed in with the canned food to make it a bit more tasty. He is a my 2nd cat likes a piece of pasta when I have some. He gets his completely plain. Once I forgot to keep any for him and he pulled one out of the pan, then refused to eat it until I washed all the nasty off. Once I did that, he ate it right away. For you skeptics, I do have pictures of him eating his share of the pasta. Vet said one or two pieces will not hurt him. Just cook it completely done and give him his share first. | |

Also all you have to do is change the water bowl. Not brain surgeon skills. When have seen or heard of wild dogs or cats making a kill and then stopping to cook their food. These animals are some of the healthiest on the planet. No I am not talking about the wolves or big cats. I'm talking about regular dogs and cats surviving on the streets. Every city has many of them. They always eat raw. Dog/cat food is just a money grabber. BTW, my Yorkie died because of vet recommended food she told me Prince Charming had to have. It killed him in a matter of days. All that was wrong with him was ibd. She did lots of tests, xrays, ekg, and a $5,000 bill of many tests I had never heard of. I am a Certified Medical Assistant. Have worked 30+ years in the medical field. I stand by the raw diet. I've also researched it and I love feeding it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it but people do have to use common sense. | |
