Our chesapeake, Sally, is a great dog, but she's diabetic, needs insulin shots twice a day, and eats a special prescription diabetic food, Hill's "W/D." This is made specifically for diabetic dogs, and doesn't have a lot of the sugars and other junk that regular foods do. The problem is, it's very...

Well, tonight I bought the second bag of Bil-jac for the boys. The flaky skin seems to be gone and I'm feeding less to both of them. (Trip thinks that is a very bad thing.) So whether it was a fluke or not, Bil-jac is the way we're going now. Beth
