I bought her another case of the Purina but I'm going to ask if I can try the Royal Canine hydrolyzed and see if she likes it better.
I just don't understand why some say HA, HF or don't say anything at all but call it hydrolyzed. |
The initials are just the names of the food. They don't necessarily mean hydrolyzed.
The fact they are giving hydrolyzed tells me they are covering all bases. Many of the lymphangectasia dogs also have IBD. Both conditions are under the umbrella of : Protein losing enteropathy
I honestly don't know the fat content of the RC Hydrolyzed diet. I had a pup with IBD and pancreatitis and he was on Hills ZD, a hydrolized diet for years.
They give hydrolized to avoid having a sensitivity to proteins which is a problem with IBD.
I know you considered home cooking...that might be a great option for her if you cannot find a food that she likes (that she can have)/
