for a commercial food.... the food Jeremy found https://www.amazon.com/Instinct-Origina ... X0DER&th=1
looks decent..... but it too is expensive . :( as so many of them are.

Have you looked at supplementing what you are currently giving with freeze dried food? To give all freeze dried food is over-the-top expensive... but maybe supplementing it with what you are currently giving might give extra high quality calories??

This might be an option:

or even freeze dried beef hearts:

BTW.......even though i personally am hesitant on any commercially prepared kibble foods at the moment ..... Everyone has to do what they are comfortable doing......So, please even though my food suggestions are mostly home-prepared diets, please don't take my personal hesitancy with commercial kibble foods as "gospel" ......as you need to do what YOU think is best for your dog...
Olesia, was owned by Izzy, a 35lb Spanish Water Dog (SWD), Diagnosed at 1.5 years old - TLI results 1.. Izzy passed away on February 13, 2020 at 15 years old. She lived with EPI for 13+1/2 years. It was because of Izzy that Epi4Dogs was started... she was the inspiration. May her legacy of helping others with EPI continue for as long as needed.........
