My vet has recommended Z/D for Bo's tender tummy/chornic pancreatitis. I don't know the first thing about this food, but I have some concerns about Science Diet in general. I wondered if anyone had a recommendation for an alternative food brand/type that would be ok for sensitive stomachs. I have used Natural Balance Fish & Potato in the past, but she said we can't use that anymore. I don't want to think that she's promoting a brand that I can only buy from the vet's office, but hey...the thought had crossed my mind. Suggestions, anyone?

I would tell the vet that you're not going to feed z/d to your dog. I've had this conversation with my vet and he respects it. We go over ingredients that will work then I look for the closest matching food to it.
Kiah has a sensitive stomach and my vet wanted to put her on some SD food and I said no way. SD is full of fillers and could cause other problems with the dog like more shedding and icky poos. I feed Kiah Natural Balance. Sorry I don't have any other ideas.

I don't know the first thing about this food, just saw it at Petsmart.. and someone came along and told us we had to have a Banfield prescription in order to buy any of the foods in this particular section. Bah.. :)
