What's the best grain dog food for my dog recently diagnosed with epilepsy?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Catahoula Leopard Dog | Male | unneutered | 3 years and 1 month old | 72 lbs

Hello, My name is Kyle Ebeling, and my 3 year old Catahoula leopard dog Rhyo was recently diagnosed with epilepsy. My wife and I took him to a neurologist and they suggested changing his food but did not give a recommendation as to what to change it to, just something with grain in it NOT GRAIN FREE. From what I'm researching online, most food right now is grain free. Can you give me some advice as to what brand/s I should be looking at now that my dog is epileptic?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rhyo. There is a prescription diet made for epileptic dogs known as Purina ProPlan Veterinary Diets Neurocare. The neurologist or your regular veterinarian can write a prescription for it. You could also try Purina ProPlan Bright Minds as an over-the-counter choice. I hope this information helps!
