Liver Disease Diet
My dog was
diagnosed as having a liver problem, and is a mongrel about 12 or 13 yrs.
old, he told me to put him on a low cholesterol diet, could you please
advise as to whether chicken or fish is out as well as normal dog food,
and if so what is the best food to feed him?
Low fat,
low cholesterol diets are necessary for many types of liver problems to
lower the strain on the bile system. Commercial and prescription diets
are available to address the problem, and insure the necessary balance
of nutrients and vitamins. Balanced nutrition is difficult to achieve
with homemade diets, however supplementing a commercial product is
fine. Boneless fish, skinless chicken, and lamb are good, low fat, meat
protein sources. Regular dog food is out. Prescription low fat diets
from your veterinarian are best.
