Hi everyone:
Once again I need your advice, please... I'm very worried and VERY frustated, let me explain you why...
... My little baby has high cholesterol, in July 2009 she had it very high so my vet told me to change her food (Royal Canin Mini Junior to Hill's i/d), and plus we started doing more exercise (at least 1hr or more walking/jogging every day). Here in my country (Chile) you can only find a package of 9 kilos (very expensive if I might add) and canned. As you might guess my little baby girl is really picky with her food, she didn't like the dry food so she only eat it wet (the can). After a couple of weeks she didn't wanted to eat that food anymore, she starved for like 1 & half day (I was freaking out), and the only food she would eat was her RoyalCanin MiniJunior so I gave it to her. Now she's 14 months old so she's eating Royal Canin Mini Adult, she loves it and still refuses to eat Hill's i/d dry or wet (in fact I gave that food to another puppy who needed it, since I wasn't using it). Past february I did her blood test again, her total cholesterol is ok but the LDL & VLDL cholesterol are still high (LDL: 62.3 mg/dl normal: 30-60 mg/dl, VLDL: 48.2 mg/dl normal: 20-35 mg/dl), so the vet told me she should eat Hill's i/d again and permanently now... The thing is: she just DOESN'T eat that food, I've tried everything: mixing her RoyalCanin dry with Hill's dry, Royal dry w/ Hill's wet, etc etc etc, and NOTHING, she doesn't eat, she starve for like 1 or 1 & half day and then someone at home (my mom, my little sibs or me) gave her Royal...... Since she refuses strongly to eat Hill's I've started to look for another food that might help her, and this is how I found out 'bout Royal Canin Low Fat Digestive, it seems like the perfect solution for her: very very low fat content and plus since she's a RoyalCanin fan it might work for her......... the problem (BIG problem): this food is NOT avaliable in my country..... but that didn't stop me, I tried to find it in a neighbour country: Argentina, it's relativly close and making a big effort I can pay a really fast trip there to buy the food........ again the BIG problem issssssss: NOT avaliable there also!!!..... So I've tried to reach RoyalCanin at my country and they just told me that RoyalCanin Low Fat Digestive is NOT avaliable in South America (thank you very much!!)... So I was very frustated, that's one thing that I hate living here: there is so so little product variety here, I must confess that I'm a little jealous of you guys: you always talk 'bout a huge variety of products (shampoos, conditioners, food, treats, etc etc) and here I've NOTHING!!! ... Well, anyway, back to the topic: today I've decided to make another try and look for another brand of food for my baby, I've found PRO PAC Premium Low Fat, there's a couple of persons that import that food (actually just 2) and in their add they wrote that this brand's sales are higher than Royal's in USA... is that true??... has anyone of you tried this food??, is it good?, is it similar to Hill's i/d??... I'm asking you for any feedback 'bout this brand please...
THANK YOU GUYS!!
