Vivonex RTF
This is actually for my dog. She has multiple atoimmune issues, and we are struggling to find a dog food that can be tube fed that is low-fat, high calorie and also hypoallergenic all in one. There is one food that fits that bill, but needs to be thinned down to be tube fed, and if we thin it using water, then the calorie count drops below what she needs per day. This formula is perfect for our needs!! This is honestly what is keeping her alive. I couldn't be happier.

This is technically for my dog. Her internist recommended it to us because it is low fat, high calorie and hypoallergenic. It is literally the only thing keeping her alive. I use it to thin her canned food, but still keep the calorie count high enough to maintain her weight. The price is the best I have found anywhere, and unfortunately, since she is a dog and not a person, there is no financial help available, not even from the parent company. Thank you for keeping my girl with us.
