Low Purine Diet
Our little girl passed a bladder stone last week and our Vet is recommending that we place her on a Urinary SO diet. The Royal Canin SO (which she is recommending) has pork and chicken by-products and corn grits and that is basically it!
I refuse to put her on such a digusting diet, and so I'm currently researching vegetarian diets that I can prepare for her using ingredients suitable for human consumption...as opposed to the garbage found in most commercial dog foods.
I came across a few vegetarian diets for dogs, but they include "bonemeal" tablets and I'm not sure why and if it is appropriate. I will be supplementing her diet with a vitamin supplement.
I have dogs in my life for the past 25 years and have pretty much always cooked for them.
If anyone has any experience with low purine diets or can recommend any high quality dog food that I can purchase, I would greatly appreciate it.
