At some point in your pet’s life, your pet will develop a health
condition and your vet will recommend a prescription diet. Prescription
diets are scientifically formulated to provide the right balance of
protein, fats, carbohydrates and nutrients to address that particular
health condition. For example, if your pet has pancreatitis, the
prescription diet will contain reduced fat to take the burden off the
pancreas and ease digestion. While the overall strategy of the diet
s are effective in obtaining the desired goal (e.g. reduced pancreatic inflammation) the problem is......the ingredients.
What frequently happens is that while the goal of the treatment is
successful, the pet then develops OTHER health issues related to the
food. For example, it's common for pets eating prescription diets
to develop allergy symptoms and skin infections when they didn’t have
them previously. Why? Because unfortunately the prescription diets
are loaded with carbohydrates, grains and synthetic chemicals.
Ingredients such as brewer’s rice, modified rice starch, egg
product—what are these??? There isn’t one prescription diet that
outshines another as they all contain similar fillers. What’s a pet
owner to do? If your pet needs a special diet, you do have options for a
natural food.
