If you have a dog with IBS and you home cook, can you PM me? I'd be very interested in what type of things you cook for your dog.

My friend has a 7 year old Malt that has been very sick and just diagnosed with severe IBS, and I'd like to help my friend gather info. Thank you.

I know several people from another forum who swear by Susan Davis' homecooked recipes for their Yorkies with health issues including IBS.

Thanks, Marj! I'll pass it along to her.

Thanks.

I have a feeling she will just go with a prescription food, but I am hoping she tries home cooking. Right now, the dog is on an anti-inflammatory and a steroid.

The dog doesn't have IBS then, it has IBD. While IBD often has a dietary component, it is an inflammatory condition hence the steroids. It is important to know the type of inflammation and any concurrent problems before working on a diet.

Thanks Jackie, I am sure that the owner knows. I always get those things mixed up.
