Hi I was wondering the best dog food in your opinion for a dog that has severe angular limb deformities, he’s two years old and we want to find the best and most natural food for him.

The best food is likely going to be Hill's j/d prescription diet. The biggest issue with dogs that have these deformities is that they are more susceptible to getting arthritis. Hill's j/d has supplements and added nutrients to help with arthritis and is good for controlling weight (a crucial part of preventing arthritis). I hope that helps and all is well with Opie.
