I have a client who has two poodles. One has pancreatitis and the other had stones removed. Now they feed the one Hill's W/D dry and can and the other Royal Canin SO dry and can. Is there a food that is safe for both of them to eat? If not, is there another SO or SD that they could feed the one. He has red eye lids, little puffy...red raw feet..skin is lightly red also.

Found the ingrediant list, chicken chicken and more chicken....aT least they avoid 'animal fat' so we don't have to guess what animal thats from. I don't know anything about stones and foods to treat with other than increasing the water intake, but I'd highly suggest a different protein to start with.

Do you know what type of stones they were? If the stones were Calcium Oxalate, there are not a lot of low fat diet options that have urinary data... The only hypoallergenic diet I'm aware of that has RSS data is the RC Hypoallergenic HP Small Dog formula (not the regular HP, only the small dog has RSS). This may be a great option for the stone dog, but it's not low fat, so not good for the pancreatitis dog.

If the stones were struvite, we may have more food options because usually infection is a big part of struvite stone formation in dogs, so RSS data will be less important, we can just look for a hypoallergenic formula that is also lower in fat. Purina HA and RC Sensitivity RC are pretty low in fat, and the canned RC low fat diet is chicken free, so although it's not technically a hypoallergenic diet, it may be an option, with a focus on increasing water intake and monitoring for UTIs.
