Reading all of the recent threads about liver disease has me thinking again about diet. I am currently home cooking for Copper and he has been responding well. However we are planning a few family trips and camping. Some including the dogs, some with them staying at a relatives. It is hard to camp for a week and homecook and likewise when they are staying with someone else. Copper has MVD, but with neuro symptoms, (he hasn't displayed symptoms since diet change) last BA test was pre 5 post 135. I am considering trying Natural Balance Veg formula. I like the ingrediants better than Hills LD and it is preserved with mixed tocopherals instead of ethoxyquin and i feel like it would be a better alt for long term use. My concerns are that I cannot find a sodium content and copper content not sure if levels would be ok for liver comp dog. I would still be adding in the supplements. Has anyone tried a veg formula? what do you think?

More than likely I will keep home cooking, but if I could find something that was easier and just as safe that would be so much better for both of us.
