| Mvd/pvh diets- what does YOUR dog eat? As lilah and I are possibly peering down this pathway, I am wondering what does your dog with mvd/pvh eat? I read up on hills and royal canin's prescription hepatic diets (which I also read are reccomended by dr Tobias at ut) and I didn't see a small kibble option available. I did see canned versions. How is the kibble size working for your pup? What about flavor? Hills is pork fat and chicken liver flavoring and rc is chicken fat and a fish product. Is anyone feeding anything else for their liver affected pup? Just testing the waters at this point, I look forward to feedback, thanks

| My Teddy Bear had liver shunt surgery in Feb. 2013. A liver diet was not advised for him. I was told to feed moderate protein. He had recurring GI issues which they believe to be IBD and he was put on Hills Z/D. He eats a combination of canned and kibble. He is doing very well on this diet. I personally don't wrap myself up in ingredients especially with the RX foods. I have used multiple RX foods over the years with great success. Hill's,Purina and RC RX foods.

| Daisy eats a home cooked diet. She has MVD-PVH. Due to symptoms she's always been moderate protein restricted. She's eaten Hill's L/D canned and did well on it for a while but the high fat and ingredients didn't ultimately agree with her. I switched her to Purina HA kibble and she also did well for a while. She does best with homecooked food.
