? MC food suggestions

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Hi all!

So trying to get a good hypo box going. I have HC food 23+% already (holding onto the hills c/d that we dont use anymore lol) and honey in my kit but I'm struggling to find MC food. Pretty sure it should be about 10 to 15+%? The purina pro plan I use currently I've been looking at all the foods and cant seem to find anything above 4 to 5% when I do the calculations on can. Which is great for our daily LC

Hope everyone is enjoying their day!

I use Friskies Shreds.... With Magic, that's the one food I can almost 100% guarantee he'll eat pretty much 'on command'.

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Awesome! Do you find it upsets tummy for a couple days if you have to give? If I change food around too much he gets runs...which I realize is better than a hypo event

 

[Denver & Magic (GA)]

Not really... If anything Magic will usually eat Shreds even if he's nauseous. Only thing i've found that will cause diarrhea with him is beef. If it's even beef and something else (like chicken, etc) it's not an issue.

Great thanks for advice! I'll definitely be picking some of that up for the box!

Little man will generally eat shreds but mostly he is a pate kind of guy with extra water cause of the cystitis.

Thanks! The theory is even if it's a small upset tummy it's better than a hypo

 

[Little Man's mom (GA)]

Oh and I already have been using marker to mark carbs on cans I saw that idea somewhere on here and started doing it!

I use the Weruva BFF OMG pouches in tuna flavors for Ruby's MC. The Devour Me, Sweet Cheeks, and Tickle Me flavors are all between 10-15% carb as per the Weruva nutrition info for OMG foods: https://weruva.com/nutrition-landing/bff-omg-ni/. Ruby adores them and she thinks it's a special treat when I give a spoonful of it to her when her numbers are plummeting and she becomes President of the clean plate club.
