My Oscar is at least 15 years old. We rescued him 10 years ago. He is big for a toy, but small for a mini. He also has a 6 year old brother who we also rescued. I believe Kirby is a cockapoo.
Anyway, Oscar had a bad bout of pancreatitis recently. I found out hubby had been putting bacon grease on their kibble and son had snuck him more treats than usual. I think it was all the fat that did it. I fed them cooked chicken and rice and fed it to both dogs with pumpkin for over a week. Now I need to figure out what to feed them on an ongoing basis.
I need to figure out a commercial dog food that we can feed them. Ideally it would be a dry kibble. I have a couple of chronic illnesses and so whatever we do I have to count on my kids (teens) to be able to feed it when I’m not available. This is one of the reasons why I rejected cooking for them on an ongoing basis - otherwise I would consider it.
Anyway, I’m curious what you all feed and if you can give me direction. I’m assuming I should look for a high quality low fat food?
thank you
