Lady is doing really well with a high protein, low carb diet. Not only is her diabetes well controlled, it's so much better for dogs not to eat all those carbs as I'm sure you know since you feed Lacy raw. As my vet explained, diabetes in pets, especially cats, was almost unheard of until we started feeding our pets commercial kibble loaded with carbs. Being carnivores, their bodies are not equipped to metabolize carbohydrates which turn to sugar. We've been lead to believe that high protein is dangerous when the real reason commercial kibble doesn't have much protein is that carbs are much cheaper. I joined a forum for diabetic dogs when Lady was first diagnosed six years ago. There is only one other dog still alive from the ones that were diagnosed around the same time. He gets home cooked food. All the rest of Lady's group were fed prescription diets, mostly w/d. They all died years ago. I really don't think that is a coincidence. | |

| Science Diet to Cannidae I switched this a.m. to Cannidae! I hope this was a good change! Does anyone feed their Yorkies Cannidae?

| I don't think it's one of the best. There's a lot of fillers in it.

| funnfarmgirl hi there! I have 3 yorkies and a shepard mix and none of my dogs can tolerate Science Diet food. ALL of them throw it up and get diarehha. I got rid of a 40lb. bag because of what it did to all of them. The vet I had at the time also sold it and recommended it. I found a new vet and better food! |
