She is also having constant loose stools on this veg. food which he feels could be diet related.
Had anyone's dogs had issue on a veg diet?
What are your thoughts on low protein for a healthy pup, with no signs of liver shunt, and excellent results on bile acid test?
Is it 'normal' to have yorkies on a low protein food as a preventative measure, as it appears in my case? It just seems really odd to me...
Thanks! | I would never feel good about a veg diet unless medically necessary I prefer high protein grain free.
