All: Please be aware that I am not restricting protein. I wish to add my own LEAN protein to an existing dog food that has the other ingredients needed. I'm looking for advise as to whether or not anyone knows of a brand that would have wholesome ingredients but allow me to add my own proteins like egg, fish or chicken.
Believe me when I say that I have done enough research on the disease that I could probably teach a class...One thing I do know is that there is no fix-all. Each case seems to require a different approach. What I have observed is that inserting my own protein with the other things needed takes ALL of her particular symptoms away.
The lowest "Crude Protein" rating I could find was 5.5%. I spoke with the folks at Petsmart and the dog food companies are required to carry a certain percentage to be carried in their stores (except the nasty KD).
So......let me know if anyone knows of a brand......
Thanx for all the kind words too by the way!!!
