    Default Prescription Dog Food

    So my dog is 13.

    He was recently diagnosed with something that slips my mind now as I type. Basically, he pukes like that little cartoon character from South Park all the time. Something with his esophagus and some little flapper...........I guess it happens when they get old.


    Doc has him on Pepcid (yes heartburn medicine) and prescription dog food. He's on a combination of soft and dry food made by Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food. This shit must be made of pure gold or is the biggest fucking racket I've ever seen.

    I bought 24 cans of soft food and 22 pounds of dry food which will last me exactly 24 days for $144.

    Insanity.

    Is anyone else dealing with this shit? I guess I don't quite understand what is so magical about this food that 1.) it requires a prescription and 2.) it costs $144.

    Feed him raw deer meat. My lab has allergy issues but does very well on it.

    Towards the end of Bailey's life my vet prescribed him Science Diet, diet food (My old chocolate if someone didnt know, I loved that dog). I never saw that dog s***. He would always kind of hide it. After a couple days of that food, he would walk out in to the middle of the yard and get all crippled over while glaring back towards me. It was as if he thought I was punishing him. I read the ingredients on that bag, it was 20-something percent ground peanut hulls. That was his first and only bag

    Most of that prescription for you especially kidney disease isn't worth a shit the animals won't eat it.
