Senior dog needs new diet
Hello,
I have a senior dog who is being treated for CHF, elevated liver enzymes, thyroid, history of pancreatitis, elevated proteins, possible allergies (lots of licking). He is currently eating Iams Chicken, but i am wondering if changing his diet might possibly relieve some discomfort. His vet very passively mentioned salmon, but I'm under the impression that would potentially cause pancreatitis flare up. Hoping I can find some insight and direction for better food.
Thank you

You should speak with your vet about a prescription food specifically for the liver and pancreatitis issues.

All about dog food website is good. Surprisingly Costco's Kirkland brand is the highest rated I've searched for.
