Deli has been trialling Veteran Balance +. We’ve just finished our month and wanted to share our story.

Having Cushing's disease (PPID), Deli needed a low sugar and starch feed.  She has to have soaked feeds and Veteran Balance + was just perfect for her, quick-soaking in warm water and very palatable. Deli licked the bowl clean every feed!

I bought Kaishan as a 4 year old and never found if difficult to keep weight on him. If anything it was something to watch - especially when he was diagnosed with PPID / Cushing's disease when he was 15.
