When i first tested morgan she was eating nature's variety raw. after that i *think* i switched her to a regular kibble (wellness, solid gold, or nature's variety) but not a low protein one. i retested 3 months later and the results were similar. so diet really wasn't having much of an effect on her. during the next two years she was on a variety of foods including NV raw, NV instinct, wellness core, solid gold, wellness small breed, and innova small breed. she was on innova small breed for a few months when i decided to test again because she possibly needed knee surgery. those results had the lowest pre she's ever had (8) and a similar post to previous tests (70).
I was going to keep her on the innova small breed but then P&G bought out the company so i wanted to switch. I tried Acana and at the same time i did that Morgan got a bad UTI (which we're still treating). So in my paranoid mind i connect the two, even though it could just have been a coincidence. So NOW she is eating natural balance ultra small breed. And wouldn't you know it, not 3 days after i switched her over NB had a recall. it wasn't the same food i was feeding but i still don't like it. I think i'm gonna put her on Taste of the Wild salmon. its 25% protein and grain free. i think she should do fine on that.
Finding a food your comfortable with is such a pain in the butt. i don't' want to put morgan on a really low protein diet if its not necessary yet. i feel like she needs meat protein in her diet because she is a dog and dogs eat meat. i just don't feel comfortable feeding her a vegetarian or low meat protein diet unless all other things fail.
