Nature's Recipe brand claims their foods are easily digestible. Mine eat the Vegetarian formula, and their venison formula.
I wasn't aware that anyone had discovered what causes HGE, other than stress can bring it on. My pup had it 3 times, but no diet recommendations were made, other than Hill's I/D for the first week home, then back to his regular food.
I add coconut oil or milk, salmon oil, and Probiotics w/prebiotics and enzymes to all my pups food. So far, no problems to report. They all appear to be very active, and get hungry before the second meal of the day, and they've been cleaning their bowls very well. Before adding the supplements, I was tossing out alot of their breakfast and dinner. I think the Probiotics have helped their digestion immensely, their bodies are getting more out of the food they're eating, as it supplies the good bacteria neccessary for proper digestion, and keeps the bad bacteria at bay. Coconut oil/milk supplies medium-chain fatty acids, is a natural antibiotic, fungiside, good for skin and coat, salmon oil supplies omega 3's and 6's fatty acids good for heart, brain, and intestines, is a natural anti- inflammatory, good for arthritis, skin disorders, plus too many to list here!
Hope this helps! |
