I have three pugs, one of which is having some problems right now. He is knuckling over. Which Honest Kitchen food would you recommend?

Full Question:
Hello,



I have three pugs, one of which is having some problems right now. I didn't realize it until recently, but his knuckling over (pretty minor) is probably caused by too much protein. I have tried several lower protein dog foods and have not found one that has solved the problem. I had him on Eagle Pack (not the holistic) for about 3 weeks and he turned up with blood in his urine. I immediately switched him to the holistic Solid Gold food and added Apple Cider Vinegar with water to his food to help clear out the bladder problem. I'm VERY frustrated because now he is eating poop again! So my question is which Honest Kitchen food would you recommend? I need to keep his protein down to help eliminate the knuckling over, but want to make sure that he gets all the proper nutrients.

Have you had this dog looked at by a vet who is well versed in nutrition? I would definitely be concerned about knuckling over and blood in the urine. Depending on your dog’s age, this could be a metabolic issue or other problem which may be quite serious.



I would advise finding a GOOD vet and having bloodwork and a thorough exam before proceeding with any more diet changes.



We have a list of vets that have been compiled by our customers and you can see it here. We are providing this list as a service; please do your own research into any health care provider you choose for your dogs.



I hope this helps.
