Prescription Diet z/d ingredeints ; Natural Balance: NuVET Plus : Probiotics...:

Question
My dog has a condition called "chronic ulcerative mucositis with prominent esinophilic components".  We have been told by a specialist that the only food he can eat is the Science Diet Prescription z/d.  This food is really really expensive.  Are there alternatives out there for us?

Hello, Yes, Prescription Z/d is expensive and lots of junk fillers... Not quality for your money -

How about:

A food to try is the Natural Balance (by Dick Van Patten) line. Many dogs do well with the  fish and sweet potato.

Also, you may want to go on a few supplements - A GOOD Probiotic will help this baby - Probiotics will help the Gut and the lining of the intestines - the ulcerative part...
Here is one I use often with my clients;
Flora Force:

Here is a link to the Probiotic / To reduce the excess Yeast in the gut:  Give 1 per day for at least 30 days and Then reduce to 1 every other day for 30 more days.  Let your vet know that your dog is taking supplements.

Also, Most of my clients take 1 NuVET wafer per day - this will help the gut but ALSO re-build the immune system and it is an allergy blaster.... YOUR dog many have food or Environmental allergies...
Call them today - tell them Marie sent you FROM ask the Pet Nurse -
Ask them for the 60 count bottle of NuVET - they give you a 60 Day guarantee.... YOU will see results in 60 days or less:  
1-800-474-7044 ( this is all Natural and SAFE)

KEEP me POSTED!
We can also come up with a recipe for your dog...I have a few you can look at - The Natural Balance may be a good option...
But, if it doesn't agree with your baby - HOME-Cooking is an option.
