It has definitely made her drink more and she LOVES the powder on her food. I was really surprised because she is a very finicky eater. The vet suggested I put her on the prescription food and said she could have absolutely nothing else. This dog loves her raw veggies as treats and I would have had to take that away from her as well. We are going the Cranimals route for now. I only put 1/8 tsp. on their food every morning. Like I said, it makes them thirsty which makes them drink more, which makes them potty more and keep themselves cleaned out. I'm not an "authority" on this stuff but for us it's working.

What makes them thirsty? I looked @ the ingredients & it didn't specify...or maybe I missed it, I have multiple tabs open & was reading on & off for the past 8 hrs!
Hmmm I wonder if lack of sodium is missing from his diet, causing him to drink less. Canine Caviar (Duck) & THK (Chicken) doesn't have salt added to their food (it's not in the ingredient list anyway). When we go for walks, I take water w/me & he drinks a lot! Half of it gets spilled or gets all over his beard, but he does drink it.
Hope Speedy continues to do well!
