I do it because I have to. We have tried many recipes, and while her old one worked well for a long time, now she doesn't do perfect on anything (people or dog food). She does slightly better on people food than dog food, so that's why I have to do it. But I don't believe that we have held off any health issues by doing it.

She has a skinny/malnutrition thing going on and her enzymes don't completely take care of it, so she eats a ton. Too much for her belly.. HA didn't work for her before, but I think I'm going to try it again. It'll give me and her belly a break.
Do you give her probioctics and digestive enzymes? It's made a huge difference for Lady. She lost a lot of weight a few years ago and I couldn't get it back on her. She wasn't digesting her food properly (could tell by her pop - enough said!) and I am sure it led to her HGE. Lady's pancreas is pretty shot (diabetes) so I am sure that had a lot to do with it.

I remind myself how well she has done when I am cooking oatmeal at midnight!
