I would suggest you try something like Sojos - this is what I use and I've also suggested it to several of my dog-sitting clients and they later profusely thank me bc their dogs are so in love with their food, it's crazy.
I add raw meat to my mix -- but you can just add cooked meat of your choice to your mix, to keep it within the diet guidelines you need. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://smile.amazon.com/Sojos-Origi...sojos+dog+food |
Hi WyliesMom! We have to avoid foods with high oxolate ingredients due to possible stone formation.
The vet wanted Pilot on this wet food:
https://www.royalcanin.com/products/...ns-case-/60401
But we went the home cooking route.
Pilot and Pax will eat only plain chicken, potatoes, and some yogurt in the mornings. In the afternoon and evenings they seem to be more flexible.
Pax will eat his normal cooked food which contains the following:
40% protein (mainly chicken and some salmon)
40% veggies pureed and boiled (kale, peas, carrots, green beans, zucchini)
20% boiled white rice
I add calcium to this mixture and then other vitamins like B complex and E at meal time.
However, Pilot doesn't want to eat this anymore. Pilot would normally eat anything. Ever since he got sick and has been eating the bland diet for an extended period, he no longer wants to eat his food with other veggies. If I put yogurt in his regular food, he'll eat the places where the yogurt is but ignore the rest.
I'm stressing me out so much that I feel sick to my stomach sometimes.
EDIT: I want to mention Pilot seems to be eating less than he use too, perhaps age maybe a factor? He turns 10 in a few months.
