My dog is a 5 year old Australian shepherd/cattle dog mix. He was diagnosed with epilepsy and has been taking seizure medication for approximately 2 years. Even with the medication he was still having seizures about once a month. The vet wanted to up his medication dosage, but I started to research dog food and wanted to give this a shot before increasing his dosage. The only thing I changed is his food, nothing about his dosage has been changed. He has now gone 6 months without a seizure! The food is worth every penny.
We have a 3 year old German Shepherd who has some neurological issues and has not been able to eat dry kibble since he was about 9 months old. We spend so much on special canned food, but this dry food changed all that. We are so thankful that our vet recommended and prescribed this food!
Neurocare my 13 month old cocker spaniel just started on this for seizures. He is picky about it because it seems the pieces are harder for him to eat right now. I think he will get use to it hoping it will help him. I will review again.
My dog is not liking it very much and doesn't eat her morning kibble at all. She will eat around the kibble in the evening when I mix some wet food with it, only finishing the kibble when she is really hungry.
Fod was prescribed by vet neurologist for help with epilepsy . She is a 3 year lab. Of course she likes it!!
My 14 year old Pomeranian found it too big to chew, and he did not like it softened with anything I used. Even tried grinding it in the food processor but ended up with a soggy mess. It is just not made for older small dogs who may have had dental issues.
I’ll write the review I wanted to see when I looked into this food, because it’s true. Our almost 5yo (at the time) lab mix had his first seizure one night in November 2021. Lasted a few minutes (maybe 10 from start to him being totally back to normal)—drooling, shaking, threw up, clenched paws. Never lost consciousness or seemed unaware. Took to vet next day, ran bloodwork, determined epilepsy. They said to keep an eye, note next seizures. He had the next seizure about a month and a half later, and the third one just 2 1/2 weeks after the second. The vet said he’d probably have to start on the lifelong epilepsy meds but we could hold out a bit, see how the seizures went from there. I had done a bit of research and told her I’d read that low carb/high protein diets had good results with dogs having seizures. She recommended trying this food and prescribed it for our dog. We ordered it right away, weaned him from his old food to this food; this food is the only thing we changed, he never started the seizure medication. He hasn’t had ONE seizure (knock on wood) since he started this food. It has been 8 months so far. (We also have decreased his “cookie”-type treats and switched them for more meaty treats like jerky.) We’ve seen zero seizures and no evidence of seizures happening while we aren’t around (vomit, excessive drool on carpet, drool/tear lines on face, etc)
Terrible ingredients, bought this because of the neurocare part, didn’t research the ingredients unfortunately
This dog food seems to be working and our cocker spaniel is not as restless at night and has been more responsive.
I can't say anything about how effective this food is because none of my dogs would eat it. I tried for several weeks and now have 10 lbs of expensive dog food sitting around my house.
