Recommendations for low protein bones/chews? Does anyone know of a chew that's okay for liver compromised dogs? Ruthie has a suspected shunt (could be MVD) and is on a special low protein diet now which means no more chews - at least not the ones that I have. And if SHE can't have them then Oscar can't either! I'm worried their teeth are going to suffer if they don't have something hard to chew on, plus, she LOVES to chew. Any suggestions? |
Right now I'm giving Sweet Potato Chews and the boys LOVE them - they come in different sizes/types. They don't last as long as perhaps protein based chews, but they're great. Also, what about Canine Caviar Stix? Don't know the protein content offhand - but might be worth checking out. :) |

I'm going to check these out also, as Conner has been having liver issues. Thanks. |
The Canine Caviar Stix are 48% protein, so those are not a viable option :( Fish is not recommended either if your dog has any history of UTI, crystals, stones, or liver problem symptoms. Sweet potatoes are good though :) Have you looked at non-edible Nylabones? These may be an option depending on your particular dog's chewing habits/capabilities... |
