This is not the way that I wanted to introduce myself but here it goes..
First, thank goodness for this site because you are going to change how I take care of my dogs. My 5 yr old Rottie has been diagnosed with insulin dependent diabetes. We have been though it with him trying to get his insulin regulated. We've even suffered though seizures. NOW I see one of the reasons why...his food. The vet has him on Prescription Science Diet w/d. Have you seen what they have in it?
"Ground Whole Grain Corn, Powdered Cellulose 17.1% (source of fiber), Chicken by-product Meal, Chicken Liver Flavor, Soybean Mill Run, Corn Gluten Meal, Soybean Oil, Dried Beet Pulp, Soybean Meal, Iron Oxide, Potassium Chloride, Calcium Sulfate, L-Lysine, Vitamin E Supplement, Choline Chloride, vitamins (L-Ascorbyl-2-Polyphosphate"
AND 51 % Carbohydrates!!!!!
As they say, when you know better, you do better. So I am going to. Starting today. My goal is a raw diet but we are going to start with canned high protein/low carb. I'm very excited about how this is going to help.
I also have a 12 yr old Boxer who is in great health who will be love this diet too!
Thank you for all the information on this site!
