WELL,I have a different answer .
My little chihuahua/doxy -mix started having seizures.The vet put her on meds and it did take care of it . BUT ..she gained a lot of weight and then had weight related issues. We were in complete control of her food. She got 1/4 cup am and pm . nothing worked to reduce her weight.
BUT THEN...........I found online an online web site titled
''What Your Stupid Vet Won't Tell You ''
I read the initial report and then paid for the extended web pages.
BASICALLY...We started feeding ' OREO' people food. Protein and lots of veggies and some fruit. Plus an enzyme that we got from the Health food store to help her digest the veggies.
She is so much better. instead of 4 + seizures a week ....she has maybe 1-2 a month. If we could convince our 3 yr old not to feed her grain items OREO WOULD PROBABLY BE SEIZURE FREE.
A local '' holistic pet food store '' told us that some dogs have an allergy to most grains. Also, preppacked dog food has so many toxins in them that it is sickening to read about .
If You like to talk more about this send me a PM and I can give You my phone number. I can call You or You can call me.
Best of luck...Alice
