Good for you for taking such excellent care of your pups! They are lucky to be with you.  |
Thank you so much, I still feel so guilty that what I thought was helping them was really harming them, but hopefully this prescription food will take care of the crystals.

YIKES! I was feeding Riley Acana and switched him to TOTW in about November. He has been doing really well on it..... I usually put about a teaspoon of Weruva in his kibble morning and night. His 1-year check-up was end of September....about 6-months ago. Maybe I should make an appt. for him this month just to make sure everything is good.[/QUOTE]
I still think those are great foods, just not for my boys anymore. The wet foods I give are Weruva and Tiki Dog too. The bloodwork was great, so maybe just for piece of mind you would want to do a urinalysis? I know all dogs react differently to foods, so Riley is most likely (hopefully!) just fine. How old is he? Chase is 3 next month, and Calvin is 2 tomorrow!

Jackson's bloodwork came back perfect on Acana, just FYI. He'll be checked again probably in the summer for his yearly. |
Exactly! Even if every thing was perfectly normal (which I 100% expected), I would not consider it a waste of money at all. It just goes to show that even paying attention to every little tiny thing, we can't always see everything that's going on with them, and something might be wrong even if they appear super healthy.
