BingBlaze n Skyla Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 just been chatting to a fellow husky owner on facebook who needs to know a good low protein dog food that itsnt TOO expensive - heres our covo well I just recently found out that Kai has a permanent intestinal problem. His intestines produce too much bad bacteria, so he is having problems digesting too much protein. the vet recommended I switch his food to something with less protein in it, but I can't afford to keep buying the German food the vet told meto get him. any suggestions? all help really really welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahNukka&Shadow Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 mmm this MAY be a silly idea off the top of my head and if Im talking rubbish do tell me BUT couldnt she just balance out the bad bacteria by giving the dog some yogurt in his dinner to get the good bacteria count up?????

husky princess Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 My cat has a low protein food cos she has kidney probs. i buy her hills prescription KD (they do a canine variety) but i would say that the vet should be very aware that hills do this variety and would recommend it if thats what was needed/necessary.
