Lower Fat Content Foods

• Lower Fat Content Foods lisa baker Posted : 5/28/2006 9:05:04 PM Hi Everyone:  Does anyone know of any foods that are natural and have a lower fat content?  If Dusty does have the pancreas problem along with the small intestinal bacterial overgrowth problem, colitis and IBD, then, I have to feed him something lower in fat and up the fiber, but I can always up the fiber, need a lower fat food. He's only 3 and weighs 35 pounds. Pre mixes are an option as well as a plan for homecooking, but I am working on finding a nutitionist too. I know Solid Gold has 2 foods, WolfKing and Holistique Blendz, but do not like that it's made at the same plant as Diamond. Thanks LIKE 9 REPLIES 374 VIEWS LAST POST MELISSA CAMIEL Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jennie_c_d Posted : 5/28/2006 9:11:07 PM I was going to suggest Holistic Blendz. Maybe something like Canidae Platinum? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lisa baker Posted : 5/28/2006 9:19:01 PM Thanks, Canidae Platinum he didn't like (one of the few things he doesn't like) he liked their chicken and rice new formula but that has a high fat content 15% I think. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jessies_mom Posted : 5/28/2006 10:39:00 PM   What about Eagle Pack Holistic Fish;   [linkhttp://www.eaglepack.com/pages/ep_fish_oatmeal.html]http://www.eaglepack.com/pages/ep_fish_oatmeal.html[/link]  It's 12% fat and has digestive enzymes too; the grains are herbicide free and the salmon is wild caught and naturally preserved; they have a permit so they don't have to preserve their fish with ethoxyquin.   Their Duck formula is 13% fat;   [linkhttp://www.eaglepack.com/pages/ep_hs_duck.html]http://www.eaglepack.com/pages/ep_hs_duck.html[/link]  and has the same digestive enzymes.                                                                      0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willowchow Posted : 5/29/2006 12:10:01 AM You would probably have an easier time narrowing it down if you knew what foods cause flare up's.  Have you ever kept a journal of his issues and what food he was getting when they happened??   Also, I know I've said this to you before but I think you switch around WAY too  much.  Dogs with these problems do best on a simple diet that is consistent.  You haven't given his system a chance to adjust to anything. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lisa baker Posted : 5/29/2006 6:02:42 AM I haven't done any switching at all. I've just been giving beef/chicken and rice to him. I've only been researching, that's why all the questions.  I tried to give the i/d in addition to the bland diet here, but he threw it up and it was just about 2 TBSP. so, no I haven't been switching at all, only investigating foods.  Since Dr. Harvey's about 4 weeks ago, this is all I've been feeding him, that was the last food he had. I have been keeping a journal, yes, that's why I am asking. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• willowchow Posted : 5/29/2006 8:17:35 AM Sorry, I must be getting the threads confused, I thought it was you who just tried Timberwolf and a pre mix.  0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• beth82 Posted : 5/29/2006 8:53:22 AM Well, there's Natural Balance.  The Duck and Potato and Fish and Sweet Potato formulas are both 10% fat. The Venison and rice is 12% fat. California Natural is 11% fat in all 3 flavors (chicken & rice, lamb & rice, fish & sweet potato).  They also have reduced calorie formulas in the chicken and lamb flavors, which are only 8% fat.  Go! Natural has a new Salmon & Oats formula, which is 12% fat, and has simple ingredients like the NB and CN.  Then there's Verus Fish & Potato, 11%.  If you want to home cook, something based on white fish or skinless chicken breast would be very low in fat, as long as you don't add any oils. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• lisa baker Posted : 5/29/2006 7:43:19 PM ORIGINAL: willowchow Sorry, I must be getting the threads confused, I thought it was you who just tried Timberwolf and a pre mix.    That's ok, I've been very confusing lately and asking a lot of questions so it probably sounded like I was trying the foods, I had them here, but haven't used anything since Dr. H's because I don't want to keep changing, I want to pick one and pray it works. Guess, what? Today all he did was poop rice, do you believe that, now what's his problem? I know that it's ok a bit but this was all the rice I gave him today and I cooked it almost 2 hours, can't get any mushier than it is. Good thing is it's after 8:00 and he isn't whining for food! Oh well, that's why Dr. will be reminded to call first thing tomorrow! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
