Lanikai

Lanikai / Lanikai has been very healthy for most of her life except for food allergy problems. Several years ago, after treating with fish oils for skin issues, and doing food trials, we determined that unfortunately we had been making Lani's problems worse. She was allergic to fish! Although many pets allergic to fish can still tolerate some form of fish oils due to the fact that correctly made fish oil products do not contain fish proteins, Lani is apparently allergic to all things fish including fish oils. I shopped for foods for her, but most commercial diets contain fish meal or fish oil, so I resorted to home cooking. I was concerned about being sure she got a balanced diet, so began serving Preference with my own protein sources of cooked duck, emu, turkey or chicken.
nLani did well for several years, but then began to have digestive issues. She is a bit of a scavenger and has now had pancreatitis more than once. She also began to have problems with the high fat content in duck, and the emu became more difficult to source. My other dog, who had also been eating the home cooked diet, then became sensitive to chicken and turkey.
nI once again began researching foods, and decided to try Verve. So far, both of my girls have handled the beef-based food well, and the digestive issues are once again resolved. Honest Kitchen foods have always been eaten readily, and have kept my girls looking good!
