I really appreciate Dr. Doug's explanation of the Science Diet. I, too, never thought it to be good, but I have a better understanding now. But when my Neal had surgery to remove rocks from his stomach and a piece of debris from his intestine, the vet told me to use SD to ease the digestion process, I did as directed. Only when she told me I could change back did I do that. And he did well with it.

With regard to diabetic dogs, my vet also told me that it wasn't as bad an ordeal as humans. He said once you get the dose regulated to what you want it to do, you don't have to do a daily blood test. It's just a shot and go.

I love Dobies. Had one years ago. Good luck with yours.

That's true. They can't go over to a friends house and sneak a little snack or eat a little too much. The only time the WD was mentioned by the vet was when I brought up food. Shelby (Rottweiler by they way) either has an issue with chicken or some grains in foods. We have her on a mix of a light food and a senior food. Shelby sometimes get a dog treat most times after some exercise. She loves vegetables. She will actually take cucumber over a milk bone.

We have a new vet starting in town next week. In the time I have lived here we have only had one here once a week at best. Shelby loves going to the vet. Why you ask. Because she gets to go for a ride in the truck and there are people there. Something about her just brings people to her.
