I agree with Smurf. My elderly American Eskimo, Kimo has Cushings and Diabetes. My vet tried to put her on Science Diet food, and I looked at the label - the main ingrediant was soy protein isolate. WTF? I basically said, "There is no way I'm feeding my dog this." I research home cooked foods for her condition, and I make her a batch once a week in my crock pot. The vet is astounded at how well she is doing for her age and her condition. If Smurf can get you a diet similar in break down to the Science Diet, but that is all natural, I would definitely take her up on that.
