DM dry

O'Malley was on dm dry for about 1.5 months. His bg numbers were really good, but it was very hard on his tummy and bowels.

DM

Squeak loved canned DM - it was the first food he'd eat after diagnosis. We took him off insulin after 1 month based on a fructosamine test though, and he wasn't ready :-( When he was feeling better again he wouldn't touch the stuff.

Took a case of it back to the vet!

DM

Champ loved both his dry and canned DM. However, I have always mixed in another low-carb canned flavor in with the DM. When he started to turn up his nose at his canned food, I eliminated the DM and he went back to eating his canned food with gusto!

He now gets a small portion of the dry kibble and gets low carb canned flavors with each meal (mostly FF, Wellness or Nutro)

Canned DM

Max loved the dry, but it was so high in calories I only let him try a free sample I got. The canned he ate for about four months, but he was on 10u of N and would have eaten anything. After I stopped giving him way too much insulin, he wouldn't touch the stuff. We switched to FF first, and then Wellness (because of the phosphorus). He loves the Wellness.

DM Canned

Murray ate the DM canned just fine ... however, his poop was absolutely foul, and after a couple of months he began an incessant lip smacking ... a sign of nausea ... never vomited, but made me worry about that happening when I wasn't home. I moved him to Wellness and we have pooped aromatically since then.

hate / love too strong

Rita did better on the DM dry than on the Hill's W/D, and even better on the DM canned. However the best curves she's had have been with Fancy Feast Tender Beef (the brown label not the purple) for whatever reason.

Dry DM only

Loved it - but made him very slightly constipated. Was able to drop insulin amount quite a bit.

Not enough options

The correct answer for Clark is:

canned, liked it then hated it

dry, loved it loved it always loved it (eye 8 600 Kaleries uh deigh ov et wen shee let me)

Dry had too many carbs for Clark. I recently opened an old can of DM after maybe a year of him not eating it and he gobbled it right up. But he showed reluctance on the 2nd or 3rd can.

Also, he had a remarkably good blood profile done after being off DM a few months. Better hydration, less sodium, just all around better on other foods.
