Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A low hemoglobin is not typically fixed with a diet. This is fixed by treating the underlying cause of the iron deficiency anemia and in some cases by supplementing with iron. If she is in a balanced diet you should be good. I recommend that you talk to your veterinarian about treating her anemia. Best of luck!
