Missymoo Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Hi all a while ago a lady contacted me asking for information to living with a shunt puppy (I didn't breed this pup!) Here is the latest questain which has me stumped: "Hii Amy, need some help (info) I feel sorry for Brandy because he can't have any protein, any suggestions for non protein treats for him... he is so good with his strict diet, but I would just live to give him an occasional treat... Any suggestions from dog owners whose dog have liver shunts" Would any of the food gurus here have any suggestions to pass onto her? Pup is on meds and controlled diet so bad not had operation. She's a lovely lady and I'd love to find some suggestions for her to be able to give her baby a treat or too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I have a dog with liver shunts. Cheerios make a good treat. Or bits of apple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverStar-Aura Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Any sort of breakfast cereal would do the trick. Cheerios are yummy!! Cornflakes if the dog eats them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Would something like popcorn be appropriate to? I mean buying the corn and popping it yourself not the pre bought sort. What about other veggies like bits of carrot. I know my guys love chewing on whole raw carrots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesP Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Veggies are ok as long as they are low in purines. A lot of dogs with liver shunts also get stones so it is advised to feed a low purine diet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 http://australianpettreatcompany.com.au/categories/Pet-Treats/Vegetarian-Treats/ these are all vegetarian, do you mean no protein at all or no animal protein? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would just need to check the purine content. They can't have animal protein. Egg whites and cottage cheese are ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lavendergirl Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) I buy jars - or tubes - of baby food i.e. veges or fruit puree etc and freeze in ice cube trays for a little treat. You can do that with cottage cheese as well if it is a suitable non protein. Edited July 2, 2012 by lavendergirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
