Lily-Rose, my 8 year old Lab mix was drinking so much water, I knew something was wrong. After blood and urine tests, my veterinarian confirmed the diagnosis I dreaded: Diabetes Mellitus! She would need daily insulin shots and a new diet. The challenge was finding a kibble that would be appropriate for a diabetic dog but that was also hypoallergenic because Lily also had severe food allergies. Having trouble finding something that worked, I mentioned to my veterinarian that I would be interested in home-cooked food for Lily but was unsure about what foods to give her, the amount and especially, how to know if it was a well-balanced diet. She referred me to the «Complete and Balanced» website (www.completeandbalanced.com). As soon as I started “Lilly-Rose” reading the website, I knew I was at the right place. I explained Lily’s situation to Hilary and she was able to make two custom recipes that fitted Lily’s special needs perfectly. Since I’ve been giving her Hilary’s recipe, Lily-Rose is doing great. Within 2 weeks her coat became very shiny, her teeth became whiter and no more bad breath or gas! Lily doesn’t scratch from the allergies anymore and although she still has diabetes, we were able to reduce the amount of her daily insulin considerably. That is amazing! I am so grateful and so relieved. Once a week I make a big batch of food that will last a whole week, I put it into individual portions and freeze them. It’s so easy and the peace of mind knowing that I am feeding her appropriately is wonderful! I highly recommend Hilary’s recipes and Hilary’s Blend supplement if you want to be sure you are doing the right thing for your dog. Thanks again Hilary!
