The issues with nutrical is you MUST follow it with protein or then can crash from the sugar going up and then down. Their are prescription Royal Canin diets maybe they would have one that would fit your pup. Mine is on the hpypo allergenic one for small breeds, she has IBD. Have you tried making a game out of the food? Like putting it in a treat dispensing toy or puzzle. Have you tried wet food? |
With the boiled diet, it is from the medical vet association book. It is a medical recipe, approved as long term food. I have to put additives from the pet store, and it's basically exactly like an I/D food. It isn't your boiled diet that you're thinking of. It's homemade dog food for sensitive stomachs.
She won't eat royal canin. That is why we give her the I/D. It's the same thing, just not canin, science diet. It is wet food. Canned. Fromms is the Kibble.
Nutrical paste is given to her either on boiled hamburger, or another form of something with protein. I have only given her the paste without anything else when she was spayed. I need you to understand that I'm in constant contact with my vet on her tummy issues. I know about not giving her a bone, although I'm confident that ann wouldn't suggest something if it was bad, and also how to use the paste. I don't use that just to use it. 3-5 times a week is what the vet wants, and I was given several approved foods to use it with, because they are aware of how picky she is. I take her off of it when she's eating, and then faithfully call the vet and say, she's doing it again, and then she laughs and says little stinker and then we wait for her to stop again. Chewie will eat boiled hamburger and bison until the cows come home. That's the problem. JUST that. Nothing else. Yes, we make it a game.
When she will eat the homemade food, I always have a little bit of it without the other stuff in it. She will watch me eat mine, then I say now your's. It's the only thing that's humorous about this, because She expects hubby to do it at his feeding time.
