I am hoping someone from the Honest Kitchen will respond to this... but in the meantime, what I've read online that is good for dogs with cushing's is: High levels of protein Low levels of fat Low amounts of fiber Low levels of purine Sufficient potassium and sodium content, especially if the dog is on medication for Cushing’s disease An adequate quantity of water So if I'm correct in my thoughts, Embark would be better because it is high in protein, low in fat and does not have grains(grains add more fiber). The fact that it is rehydrated before given, makes it a diet that adds water to your pet's daily intake, so that is a good plus. Hello Marsha!

I'll give this a try, but first have to know if the foods are OK for a dog with Cushing's? I am feeding Mitzy ground turkey with lots of ground fresh veggies mixed in and of course supplements for liver disease.

I am so impressed. I forgot to include in my review that Skye loves the taste of your dehydrated raw. I think Keen is his favorite so far, but he likes Preference with added raw meat and he likes Verve. He is eating Verve now. He is otherwise very very picky. I also forgot to tell you about his paws. Before I fed him THK, he was chewing his paws and they too became pink. Now He doesn't chew his paws anymore and you can see in his photos that the hair on his paws are white too! I feel good about feeding your food to my Bichon and I tell everyone about how good and healthy your food is.
