Hi there. I would recommend asking your veterinarian if there is any other type of food that would be compatible with Riley's medical needs that might be less expensive. Without knowing what specific type of diet your veterinarian has recommended and what specific medical issues Riley has that have necessitated a special diet, we can't really make any recommendation for a particular type of food.
