I know wellness makes a low fat dry kibble but not a wet one. I found Nutro Natural Choice lamb with rice lite that is comparable to the prescription ones. Is this good food though? |
my dog almost died of pancreatitis it is very serious so the food he is on is purina ha and it has worked for 3 years. I would keep your other dogs on what they are doing well on and put this dog on a prescription food like purina ha -- my dex also has ibd. If they get pancreatitis over and over they can get diabetes or epi so very important to manage the right diet. Purina ha is 8% fat. It took me a year to get dex on track and this food has been the only food he can tolerate long term. The cost is 25.97 for an 8lb bag but the cost is much cheaper than hospitalization as once they get pancreatitis it is very easy for them to get it again. Vet bills are much more expensive than a food that works so please choose a good diet very low in fat.
