My Cookie has been on a home cooked diet since 2011. It was formulated by a vet nutritionist and uses Balance It. She has lymphangectasia and IBD and recently had a bout of pancreatitis. I credit her diet with her longevity with these conditions. Cathy (107barney) has used Balance It for a long time.
I mean no disrespect to anyone, but I simply won't follow the advice of anyone/vet or otherwise who calls themselves nutritionists for animals who are not members of ACVN. They could be good, but it is just my choice/ comfort level. Balance It has a vet nutritionist on staff and he is very receptive to questions. I recently contacted him after Cookie had a relapse and also pancreatitis...but they don't do formulations for sick pups. I ended up using Dr. Lisa Weeth DVM, DACVN (her website is:

Her website has some really interesting information about diet and supplements for dogs..and also information on the qualifications of nutritionists and how to find someone.
