That diet works and that is what I gave my girl Lacy along with her meds. She was on Phenobarbital and I never uped the dosage. The diet reduced her seizures by 50%. You really have to follow it even with cookies.

Seemed to control them pretty well. Also, there was an article in the Whole Dog Journal about dogs with epilepsy and they found a diet free of red meat, gluten and diary really helped. My friend did do this restrictive diet and the seizures were greatly reduced in frequency and severity. It is a hard diet to follow but mainly all he ate was Potato Duck, Potato Rabbit canned, kibble and treats. Kay Springer www.showboatgsd.com Home of Multi BISS & Multi Group Winning Ch.
