When my dog developed Peri-anal Fistulas a few years ago, the information on this condition was sparse, my Vet had to call in a specialist who had dealt with this condition before it’s so uncommon. They don’t know why dogs get this according to western medicine there is no cure for it just remission. One of the things I had to do was put my dog on a protein he had never been on before, umm that wasn’t so easy since I had always rotated the protein in my dogs diet from Venison to Beef to Lamb to Chicken. So the hunt began for a natural dog food that wasn’t full of chemicals like most dog foods you find at grocery stores. I started my dog on a diet of raw food for dinner, I should mention he is an extremely picky eater so finding a raw food for him that he liked was NOT easy! I finally found OC Raw and my dog loves it! I rotate his raw food between Rabbit and Goat. http://www.ocrawdog.com/
He has kibble for breakfast, I rotate between Nutrisca.com Fish and California Naturals.com Fish without grains. One of the side affects of the medication he takes is skin problems, hence switching to a kibble that does not contain any grains, no potatoes, no rice, no oats etc. Another thing we use for his skin condition and general health is the kit from nzymes.com
When we first learned about his fistulas I went on the hunt for information on dog food, I came across this website that helped educate me, I had always had my dog on no preservative healthy kibble but this site really explains what is in each dog food and gives it ratings! Dogfoodadvisor.com
Wishing you and your fur kids a Healthy and Happy New Year!
