Limited ingredient diets come with one major benefit - pet parents are able to identify exactly what goes into their dog's body and avoid any specific ingredients. While a suitable diet for many dogs, LID diets can also be great for dogs with food sensitivities.

The best food is likely going to be Hill's j/d prescription diet. The biggest issue with dogs that have these deformities is that they are more susceptible to getting arthritis. Hill's j/d has supplements and added nutrients to help with arthritis and is good for controlling weight (a crucial part of preventing arthritis). I hope that helps and all is well with Opie.

Since Cash is a small dog, you might consider one of the more expensive options such as a dehydrated or fresh food diet. They are able to control their ingredients much more easily than a large manufacturing plant does that makes dry food. I have been very pleased with The Honest Kitchen ( https://www.thehonestkitchen.com/ ) and Just Food For Dogs ( https://www.justfoodfordogs.com/ ). Both have foods that will not have chicken and both have options without any poultry. You do not have to worry about the potential addition of chicken fat which a number of dry food companies do as well. If those are not good options for Cash, then you may consider a canned food which again will generally be safer than a dry food at making sure there isn't any chicken contamination. I have been pleased with Natural Balance Limited Ingredient Diets ( https://www.naturalbalanceinc.com/ ), but be sure to read the labels carefully. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and gives you some ideas. Thanks for using PetCoach.

In looking at the ingredients of each of these items (thank you for providing pictures of the ingredients lists!), they look fine and giving the treats will not overdose any ingredient. Just be sure to give the treats to Koda as directed, and not give any extras so that she doesn't have extra calories in her diet as weight control is very important to her hip health. I hope this helps!

I'm not familiar with gout as a condition for dogs, so this answer is for joint health but not specific to a dog with gout. There is a food called J/D made by Hills that contains joint supplements that could helpful for her. Your vet will need to prescribe it and can make sure that it makes sense for her intestinal situation. Otherwise, a general adult diet from Hills, Purina, or Royal Canin with a glucosamine supplement would be good.

It's good that you are trying to make sure Jasper is comfortable! I would feed him a diet formulated for large breed dogs, you could even consider a joint specific diet such as Hills j/d or Purina JM through your veterinarian. I would also consider getting him on a joint supplement with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate as well as Omega 3 farty acids. Depending on his comfort level you should talk to your veterinarian on whether an anti-inflammatories would be helpful long term as well. Good luck!
