Default Help PLEASE: Honest Kitchen, Liver Disease, Homemade Diets

Okay, recap for those who need it.

Both my little yorkies have MVD, no symptoms ever... found out about one by accident and then just tested the other out of curiosity. Both had fairly low post numbers for an MVD dog (in the low 30's) and one was on a very very high protein food for over a year before testing. Vet didnt even suggest a diet change but I did.

Okay... so we have tried EVERY low protein kibble and either they wont eat it or the kibbles are WAY too big... as it stands now they are not eating enough because the kibbles are so big for the food we are using that they get bored and walk away.

Now, the question if your still around. I am going to give The Honest Kitchen Preference brand a try (its a base and you add the protein yourself):

So my questions:

1. What are some good proteins to add for Liver Disease dogs.
(I am assuming the same ones I have been looking for in kibble (egg, lean chicken and white fishes (but which ones are best, cod?)

2. Is there anything else I should be adding? The base is already balanced right? all I NEED to add is protein? I will likely add some veggies, cottage cheese, etc. This is fine right?

3. Are there any supplements I need to add?

Thanks in Advance!
