Thank you, I hope the new diet will solve it too! I take them in every 6 months for a regular exam, and once a year they get bloodwork done. I am really glad this visit called for the urinalysis, because I didn't notice any change in their potty habits!

Oh for sure! Even if I think something isn't quite right, we are at the vets

He loves me because I catch everything before it gets bad, like ear infections. They are my babies, and it's MY job to make sure they are taken care of

I wish they could talk (well, sometimes lol) but they can't so I'd much rather be safe than sorry!

What were you feeing them? |
Me too! If it wasn't for Chase's 3 year health screen, I don't know how I would have known. I have been rotating between Acana and Taste of the Wild for a long time, and they get Grandma Lucy's freeze dried Artisan in the morning and a spoon of wet in the evening with their kibble. I feel so guilty because my food choices were not the best choice for them, like I thought
