    @Saving said in Anal Gland Health Diet Adjustment (ideas?): scavenging on walks has increased though and that's quite annoying. LOL, omgosh! The amount of food tossed on the ground is astounding! And doodle will grab it up before I have any idea it's there! I wish I had a picture of the day she pulled a (whole) bagel out of a bush!

    Not sure how Xylitol is being marketed. It is an alcohol found in a lot of plants, including birch wood, which is the source of Xylitol used in medicines. And it is toxic to dogs, even in small amounts. Most of the time you find it in sugarless gum and candy. Here is an FDA warning "Paws Off Xylitol": https://www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/paws-xylitol-its-dangerous-dogs

    I had a somewhat similar experience. Joey had a seizure which I correlate to taking Simparica. He looked terrible so took him to the vet when the first seizure happened and he was late Stage 2. Put him on Royal Canin kidney kibble and Hills kidney wet food and 4 years later he has only had 1 more seizure and his kidney values have remained constant. I will believe your homemade version is most likely better if you have the correct proportions. All the best to your Bs! Joey will be 15 in November.

    @Rivermoon: Basilboy, I feed my girls Halshan raw which is raw meat and veggies. I doubt they have it up there but you may be able to find something comparable. I cook for my vizsla, he gets chicken and veggies…yam, carrots, kale, spinach, zucchini, whatever I decide to throw in there. They also get kibble. Thank you! I'll look for that or something like it.

    @JazzysMom: Is that necessary? Mine eat sizable chunks and there is no evidence it's not digested well. Like Quercus, mine raid the garden when they can. I have a fence around it, but snow peas and green beans hang out through the fence, LOL. and the blueberry bushes behind my house are never safe {I know that's fruit, but …. :p} So is a tomato:) I cook 1/2 bag of frozen broccoli, drain, and put 1 slice of american cheese to melt over the top. My dogs think it's the best treat ever. I only give each one 1/2 cup each at each feeding. 1/2 of a baked potato with broccoli mixed in is also another favorite at our house.
