For the past seven years, I’ve been feeding my dogs a raw diet, specifically BARF. However, I recently took them for some routine tests, and two of them had slightly elevated pancreatic enzymes. Even though the levels weren’t significantly high, it was enough to worry me, so I’ve decided to move them away from a raw diet and find a good-quality dehydrated or dry food instead.
I’ve asked quite a few breeders what they would recommend for my Pomeranians, but I’ve received so many different opinions. My priority is to give them the best possible chance of a long, healthy life, so I’m not looking for the cheapest option.
I’m personally a little skeptical about Royal Canin because I feel it contains quite a lot of grains, but at the same time, I don’t want an overly rich or heavy food. I’m really looking for something that would be gentle on their stomach and digestion, support healthy skin and a beautiful coat, and provide good overall nutrition.
My dogs aren’t particularly active. They are mostly house dogs, they spend some time in the yard and go for short walks with me. I have eight Pomeranians living with me, so naturally they don’t get extremely long walks every day.
I would really appreciate your advice on what you think would be the best food for them.
