What's the best grain dog food for my dog recently diagnosed with epilepsy?

This depends slightly on the underlying condition - some dogs with liver disease do best on a specialised liver support diet such as royal canin hepatic or hills l/d. If epilepsy is the underlying cause, purina nc neurocare is showing some very promising results

Hello, and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. No over-the-counter diet is likely to have a significant impact on your dog’s symptoms. Your best option would be a prescription food formulated for brain support such as Purina NeuroCare, as tremors may indicate a neurological disorder. However, since it’s a prescription diet you’ll have to have your dog seen by your vet first, and then they can help determine if a diet change is the best course of action. I hope this helps!

Maocai is adorable! Unfortunately prolonged/severe seizures can cause permanent brain damage and personality changes. Purina makes a prescription diet called Neurocare that is highly rated by owners of dogs with seizures, dementia and other cognitive issues. VetriScience also makes a senior multivitamin that is highly rated by owners who report that their dogs appear to be more alert and responsive after taking them regularly. I recommend inquiring with your veterinarian about a prescription for the Purina Neurocare diet. Good luck!

I'm sorry to hear this is happening to Oscar. You may want to ask about a referral to a specialist who may better be able to manage Oscar. You may also ask about weaning off of one of those medications. You may also ask about Zonisamide. There is a diet which may also help made by Purina ProPlan called Neuro Care (it probably won;t make or break but it can't help). I hope this helps.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Something that can be improved with the diet is arthritis. The best diet for that purpose in my opinion is the Hills Science Diet j/d. Usually improvement is seen within a few weeks. I think this can help Bailey with the arthritis. Good luck and have a great day!

Grains are very rarely the cause of any skin issues so switching Kyya to a normal, grain containing diet is recommended. Keep in mind that the link is not understood but as long as the pet is not showing signs of heart disease, changing the diet will help avoid any heart pathology. The brand I like best is Royal Canin. You would pick the large breed formula. I also like Purina ProPlan. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Two seizures in a 24 hour period are considered "cluster seizures," which generally require anti-epileptic (anti-seizure) medications. The post-ictal (after seizure) period can last for many hours, or even a day, and can cause many subtle behavioral changes and could even affect Blue's appetite. At this point, Blue should be examined by her vet. The vet will perform a neurologic exam and full physical exam, and may recommend blood work. Based on these results, medications may be prescribed. Until you go to the vet, try tempting Blue with canned dog food, meat-based baby food, or boiled white meat chicken and rice. I hope that she's feeling better soon!
