Science Diet dog food question?

Question by Unknown: Science Diet dog food question?
Hello! So, here’s the deal. My grandma has a 14 year old chihuahua who was put on Science Diet R/D about 12 years ago when she was severely overweight to manage her weight. She has been at a healthy weight since less than a year after starting it, so for at least 11 years. Well, 12 years later she is still on it and on nothing else but is now losing weight so that she is underweight, though apparently healthy. We and her vet assume it’s because of age. My grandma is concerned about it and so we’ve considered maybe finding a good quality dog food to incorporate into her diet with the SD to help fill her up more and maybe put weight on. Everyone forbids this or taking Science Diet away but it’s hard to know how much of it is brand hype, veterinarians who make a profit, or really how big of a deal it truly is. After all, it is “just” food, not a drug. If anyone has any advice, can relate, or anything of the sort, please share! I want as many opinions and things as I can. Thank you so much! 🙂

Science diet is garbage. Its all filler. You don’t need a “diet” food to get a dog to lose weight. All you need to do is limit food. Pick something high quality like orijen, acana, wellness, blue buffalo, natural balance, natures variety, merrick, taste of the wild etc. If you need something cheaper you can get chicken soup for the dog lovers should. Pick the flavor that has meat as the first 4 ingredients. Avoid any food that is grain based. To prevent the dog from gaining too much weight just limit the food. The recommended amount on the bag is usually too much but you can start with that. If she is still skinny feed more. If she gets too fat feed less.

Q&A: Cambridge diet – what food can I eat?

Question by ntia d: Cambridge diet – what food can I eat?
i am on the Cambridge diet for 1 week now, and i am allowed to eat one meal per day, however i am not sure what food i am allowed to eat. I know i can eat white fish and white meat but does anybody know what else i am allowed to eat?

Best answer:

Answer by Russell
About the Cambridge Diet
According to the six-step program outlined on the Cambridge Diet website, you follow a low-calorie regime for the first two steps by eating 400 to 1,000 calories for a minimum of 4 weeks. During the first step, the dieter consumes plenty of water and three Cambridge Diet meals consisting of smoothies and meal bars. The second step is the same as the prior, but you can eat vegetables and protein-rich foods like chicken breasts.

For the third step, you eat 1,000 calories in the form of two Cambridge Diet meals as well as foods recommended by a nutritionist (such as whole-wheat pasta, salad, fruits and eggs). The fourth step has a 1,200-calorie intake with a wider range of food options plus Cambridge Diet meals. The fifth step is 1,500 calories with a wider variety of food choices as outlined by the Cambridge Diet counselor. The last step focuses on sustaining the weight loss by making proper food choices. While on the diet, you purchase and eat a series of supplements in the form of bars, smoothie mixes and shakes.
Considerations of Nutrition
If the program is followed, you can receive all vitamins and minerals despite the low calorie intake. The supplements contain all of the necessary nutrients but come at a high price tag and, some would argue, in an unappetizing form. Though the last four steps provide a wider array of food, you must be willing to commit to a diet of little variety for the first two steps, or the first 4 weeks, of the plan. The diet is also very low in calories and should not be seen as a lifestyle.

The program’s last step of “maintenance” is just as important as the first five. While the first five are low-calorie, the last step, which has no calorie restrictions, tries to instill good dietary habits that can be carried over after the diet ends. While the diet provides an outline of what is acceptable to eat, once the diet is over, you must be prepared to make better food choices to keep the weight off.

What is the most favorite tastiest kidney diet cat food that cats will eat and where can I buy it immediately?

Question by BP: What is the most favorite tastiest kidney diet cat food that cats will eat and where can I buy it immediately?
My cat refuses to eat the canned kidney diet food that
the vet sells and I am looking for alternatives

Best answer:

Answer by convert to metric
Is it k/d? Cause I know A LOT of cats that refuse to eat k/d. There are definitely a few renal diets out there (Purina makes one, Eukanuba makes one – check out felinecrf.com for tons of info) but I recommend Royal Canin Modified Formula. Until about two weeks ago I could have honestly said that I never knew a cat that turned it down, but of course there had to be that one who would make me not be able to ever say that again. But not much can be said for her taste as she chose to eat the k/d over this magical food. Seriously, that’s what we call it at my practice, “Magical Modified” because (almost) every cat will eat it. It has mackerel in it which I think the cats can really taste and LOVE. Plus, you can always add a little chicken broth to any canned food to increase water intake and make the food a little tastier for our finicky friends.
I prefer most Royal Canin therapeutic diets over the Hill’s RX diets anyway. I think they are much more palatable and have higher quality ingredients with less by-products and preservatives. I actually have my cats on the Calorie Control diet.
OK, I’ll stop going on about the RC therapeutic foods, but seriously, try it! You don’t need a prescription for it like you do for the Hill’s foods but you do have to buy it from a veterinarian. If your vet doesn’t carry it, call around to other vets in the area or call Royal Canin and ask them where the closet place is where you can buy their products. (800) 592-6687. If there is a bigger emergency hospital in your area they should carry it. I don’t know where you live so I can’t really help you out with that part, but good luck and I hope she likes it!

Oh, there is also another Royal Canin renal diet called LP but I don’t think that goes over any better than the k/d chicken as far as flavor. But it does come in pouches so it’s more of the chunks and gravy deal than the regular mushy food so if your cat is into that sort of thing, they may prefer LP & you might want to try that.

Question by y p: When a kitty is roly poly, how can you get them to eat that diet food?
sometimes cats can be sooo difficult, refusing to eat their prescription diet food. How can we make it more enticing?

Best answer:

Answer by W. Coastal Eddie
Tough love- just give them no option. Here’s the diet food. If you don’t like it, you can go hungry today. I promise that even the most picky kitty will eat even nasty stuff before it starves itself very long!
