Re: [CanineCancer] Newbie needs ideas/support



Hi Karen.  Welcome to our wonderful group.  I know a lot of folks on here are feeding a low carb diet, so perhaps they can help.  I think your choices in kibble are limited, as almost all companies use some grain or potato to be able to extrude the kibble.  However, there are a number of canned foods (Evo, Wellness, etc.) that are low or no grain/carb food.  You may want to consider those - or even feeding part TOTW and part canned.  I tried feeding my guy Evo 95% protein early on after being diagnosed with cancer, but he got a bit constipated without at least some grain.  Now I feed some, but not a lot of, long grain brown rice, plus a canned food that includes barley.

I know at least one person on here has dealt with the type of cancer Princess has, so hopefully that person will see your introduction and respond.

Hope Princess does well - I know how devastating it is to hear that word "cancer."
