Question
I'm think you didn't get my reply to your question, my dog was on pedgree, but her creatinine was hidh last blood draw so my vet put her on k/d prescription food. She has managed to get off every dressing I've put on her Ca you help me?

Answer
Dear Cheryl,
Yes I did get your question you are missing my advice, get her on a good balanced diet of raw food now and forget feeding the commercial dog food this will have to help. Once again I will post tips on better feeding here. I sent you a reply yesterday but it appears you perhaps did not get it.
I guess you are now starting to see the aftermath a diet of commercial dog
food has had on your dogs. Sadly to say I see many dogs who do very badly
on this diet. I can never understand that humans are always told that to
eat healthy they must consume raw unprocessed food to have optimum health.
Yet for some strange reason our dogs and alot of other animals are not
supposed to eat this way. WHY I ASK? It goes against all commonsense and
mystifies me as to how even the most intelligent people are sucked in by
the pet food companies rubbish. Sadly many vets also play into this,
perhaps they dont know any better, and if they do they are downright evil.
It is obvoius there is a connection between vets and pet food companies
and I am not so sure it is a healthy thing.
I would not feed any commercial dog food to my most loved dogs, and if
looking at the health of your own dogs is not evidence enough here are a
multitude of reasons why you should change to a raw diet.
The rule is all the diet must be raw there is no getting out of it,  if
you cook a dogs food you will kill all the beneficial enzymes it needs for
optimum health. So in reality preparation is not hard. Forget all the salmonella rubbish I and my dogs have never got it and I have played with so much raw meat in 10 years I should have by now. Give them a couple of those a day and a raw egg you will see the difference in no time on this simple and nutritious diet.
I feed no commercial dog food at all and I have 4 huge thriving boys the oldest is almost 10 he only looks 5! I go to the vets and they are amazed at the health of my guys every time. I attribute it to the diet I feed and the vast amount of excercise I give my guys. I have also raised litters of puppies on this same diet and my pups weighed 8 lbs at only 6 weeks!
I only ever feed my guys once a day, huskies can be very ruled by food.
But beware huskies were specifically designed to subsist in a very harsh
environment on very little food and work all day on it. So they can become
very overweight in the absence of this. But as your guys sound so skinny
initially you will have to play catch up and feed a bit more. Here are
some feeding hints these are the rules I live by and I have had great
success with. I give all raw meat, all different kinds, keep it varied, but for growing pups chicken is the best. All uncooked bones are great, but do try to avoid the real big hard ones like the ones from a cow's leg. They are so dense and hard they can chip and injure a dogs teeth and cause wear if they have
them too often. Other than that all bones are great. For a growing pup
poultry and pork are the best but give him red meats as well. Remember the
only dangerous bones are ones that have been cooked, all raw bones are
fine. Raw eggs, cottage cheese, lactose reduced milk, all whole milk not
skim. Mince is great all different kinds, fish is great too. Blend up some
veggies from time to time and mix them in as well. Honey on the cottage
cheese, yohgurt, and any general table scraps you might have as well. Dont
feed cereals, chocolate, or onion ever they are piosonous to a dog. Only
feed them once a day, give them all they want as they sound a bit lean and
what they do not eat take away.
Feeding should be simple and with this method your dogs should thrive.
Basically I feed everything I would eat with the exception of cereals,
even fruit and veg. Beleive it or not, although dog food is full of the stuff,
dogs cannot digest it at all, and it has no food value to them whatso
ever. So forget the cereals entirely. Cereals can even cause diabeties
which I have seen happen first hand in dogs, and often does. So give a
diet of 80% raw meaty bones and don't have a vet bill or a broken heart.
If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask. I would dearly like to
help you see the difference in your dog, and I am sure it will also help
with the allergy problem as well. Give it a try you have nothing to lose
and everything to gain.
