Help me think of foods?

• Help me think of foods? sooner Posted : 4/24/2007 3:34:29 PM I'm looking for a single protein (no chicken), single carb dry food, with no added vegetables or fruits, from a trustworthy company. I'm sure there are foods out there that I'm forgetting, so help?!? Please?

• chewbecca Posted : 4/24/2007 4:29:25 PM Kelly, dear, I am searching, and searching, and searching. I'm NOT having any luck. If it only has one carb source then it has multiple meat sources. If it has one meat source then it has sunflower oil OR it has one meat source with two or three grain sources OR if it's one meat and one carb, then it has fruits and veggies. I'm sorry. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Luvntzus Posted : 4/24/2007 4:43:58 PM California Natural is single carb and grain with no added fruits or vegetables. I consider Natura to be trustworthy. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 4/24/2007 4:50:00 PM What about RX diets? I know, I know, but.... it could work. It'll be expensive, but it could be just what you need. I don't think Eukanuba has recalled any dry food, and they have FP (fish and potato) and KO (kangaroo and oats). Royal Canin and Hills have recalled foods, but they both have potato and meat kibbles. IVD Simple Diets(made by RC) are made in a dedicated factory, so no grains have even entered the factory. Purina also makes an allergy diet, but the first ingredient is brewer's rice, and the fats are preserved with TBHQ. The Eukanuba diets have ethyoxyquin. IVD's have menadione. Hills don't appear to have any of that, and have 360-380 calories per cup. I'm not the hugest fan of Hills.... I don't like a lot of thier RX formulas, but some of them are worth looking into... 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

I thought of California Natural, too, but it has sunflower oil in it, and I think Boomer has either an allergy or sensitivity to that. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

That food is really expensive, but I'd put Ella on it in a heartbeat if I could afford it. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sooner Posted : 4/24/2007 4:55:43 PM Yup, I forgot to mention, I think he does have a problem with sunflower oil. Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still leaning toward FirstMate, and if all else fails, a rx diet. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• chewbecca Posted : 4/24/2007 4:58:28 PM I got a really stupid question. Do you need to actually get rx diets from your vet? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

That food is really expensive, but I'd put Ella on it in a heartbeat if I could afford it. Thanks, that may be worth checking into. I just prefer to avoid fruits and veggies and anything else that's unnecessary that could cause a problem. I have much better luck adding those things fresh, if I want him to have them at all. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 4/24/2007 5:21:39 PM Do you need to actually get rx diets from your vet? You have to. They're only available by prescription. You can order them online, but like Heartguard, you have to have a prescription faxed to the seller. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

There is disagreement about it among veterinarians and nutritionists. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
