Alternatives to Purina DM?

[Ivana R]

Hi everyone

We were doing pretty well for awhile, Geppy's numbers were consistently between 100-200. For the past week or so however, they started to raise again. His numbers are close to 400 daily. He is also getting very picky with his food. He used to eat his DM regularly, but now I have to mix it with Fancy Feast for him to eat.

He has lost some weight, nothing extreme but I want to make sure he is eating all of his food since we are increasing his insulin back to 2 units 2x a day.

Am I able to give him fancy feast solely? We have the grilled seafood 24 can box.

Thank you for your help

Fancy Feast Classic Pates are fine, not sure about the grilled. Here’s a link to the food chart we use. You can look up the flavors/types you have to see if they are below 10 carbs.

I used to give DM solely as well and then switched to Fancy Feast Flaked Tuna and Flaked Tuna and Chicken. Based on the food chart, it's a great option for our babies!
