Annamaet Grain-Free Lean Reduced Fat Formula Dry Dog Food, (Chicken & Duck), 5-lb Bag

Update July 19. Over a month now and she has been symptom free. She now gets occasional treats that I make sure are barley free and low fiber. She also gets a sweet potato fry every day. Her stools are very firm but not dry and she has not had trouble passing them. If your pup has similar symptoms I recommend giving this food a try! My dog has inflammatory bowel disease.. She is 11 years old and I adopted her last year. Right away I noticed she had some issues with her digestion. Around 4 am every 2 to 3 days I would hear very loud gurgling. On those days she would refuse to eat breakfast and sometimes developed pretty bad bloody diarrhea. Eventually she would eat and feel better. I discovered the sooner I could get her to eat the sooner she would feel better. I reached out to her previous foster mom and she told me she fed all her dogs a low fat prescription diet from Royal Canine. (Why?!) For a couple of months I tried various home solutions. I fed her small frequent meals including just before bed and slowly transitioned her to a different low fat diet as I did not have access to a prescription food. My vet did blood work and X-rays and treated her for Giardia. Still no improvement. Probiotics didn’t help. Antacid therapy didn’t work. They put her on an ID prescription diet made from corn starch and soy. I was not able to transition her all the way on to it because it made her very sick. They gave me a prescription for the Royal Canine she ate at the foster home. There followed months of eating this food but still having frequent episodes, usually every few days. I could usually get her eating early by giving her chicken or lean cooked ground beef, then she was fine. Some days she would refuse even those goodies. I decided to have an ultrasound done and she was diagnosed with IBD. The vet suggested a nutritionist as there didn’t appear to be a prescription diet that helped. I decided to take a very close look at the foods I had tried to see if there was a common ingredient that she may not tolerate well. I noticed Barley in all these foods. It was a start. I began checking labels of low fat dog foods. Lean was the 1st I found that did not contain Barley. My only concern was the very low fiber content. I decided to try it. I did a very slow transition over a couple of weeks. She was completely transitioned 2 weeks ago and has not had an episode. At this point I am very happy but holding my breath. She eats only this food and even gets it as treats and rewards. I don’t know if it is lack of Barley or low fiber that seems to be working, but it is working. If your pup has similar tummy troubles, I highly recommend trying this food.

Our little dog has a history of Pancreatitis and allergies, so it has been a challenge to find a food over the years to keep her healthy and happy, too. We spent many years following the Vet's recommendation for Hill's ID food in a can, since most the convenient kibble out there has more harmful things in them, than good. She never was great on Hill's but it kept her from having any more attacks and we could keep her weight in check, too. I just never liked all the unhealthy ingredients in it and it's crazy expensive. Then Hill's changed their formulas and made them so nasty, neither man nor beast would go near it! Turned out to be lucky for us, because then I found this wonderful LEAN dog food, with top notch ingredients, including all the things to help a dog that needs a low fat, high protein, NO garbage product! Our dog loves the flavor of this small kibble and she has been happy and healthy since the switch. Her tummy is way better with no gas problems and 'perfect' poop. The convenience of her getting this great food over cans of smelly canned food is nice for us, too. A win, win. Thanks for a quality pet food that hits all the right buttons!

We always had issues with our vet authorizing our dog's prescription for her low fat dog food. Finally found a solution (no prescription needed) and she loves it!

My dog has pancreatitis and almost died.. he’s 15. I tried boiled chicken, rice etc prescription dog food and nothing got better. Changed to this and within a week he was 10x better. He likes it and is still doing good. Highly recommend

My small elderly dog has some missing teeth so dry food is harder for him to eat. However, if the kibble is small enough, he can manage it. This food has fairly small kibble, but bigger than what he is used to. He is also used to eating food with fat in it, but was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis, so we had to switch him to a low fat diet. I looked around online and found this product which is very low fat, so decided to give it a try. He wouldn’t eat it. Tried adding water to soften it but that didn’t work. So I had a full bag of dogfood he was refusing to eat. Put some non-fat plain Greek yogurt on it and stirred it around and wow! We are in business! He loves it and is gobbling it up. I think he likes the yogurt texture and it softens the kibble so it is easier to eat. He’s a happy dog again, and eating a low fat diet that is good for him.

Amazing food for my dogs with pancreatitis

This is the only reduced fat dog food my dog will eat. We tried 5 other well-known brands before trying the Annamaet. I will agree with some that the smell is not the greatest, but my boy mops it right up. Pros: ● No stomach issues ● Firm and regular stools ● Shinny healthy coat ● No itching, scratching or dry skin

This product is good for our dogs, but the last shipment came with a tear in the bag. Amazon would not take a return, but offered a refund. With spending this much, quality checks should ensure the product isn’t damaged.
