One of the main objectives for Animal Health Digest remains to provide animal health pros with information animal owners may read, take to heart or better understand. In this article, Nancy Kerns focuses on prescription diets and admits to some peeves and challenges of educating pet owners. She says change is coming and the newly crowded veterinary diet market affords consumers more options, even for highly specialized products.
A listing of most all the prescription dog foods currently on the market is shared in a searchable database. The table includes the ingredients list, as well as the protein and fat content, of each of the foods listed.
We strongly suggest that you compare the ingredients of all the products that are formulated for whatever condition your dog is being treated for. Then ask your veterinarian if she could investigate the technical information for your preferred product and perhaps prescribe it for your dog, too.” – Nancy Kerns
