Alternative to Royal Canin - less expensive

cjmcork

my parents dog had pancreatitis recently and the vet has recommended my parents give him this Royal Canin Low Fat dog food:

But it's ridiculously expensive - just wondering if there's an alternative that anyone can recommend - he's also on this http://www.zooplus.ie/shop/dogs/dry_dog_food/royal_canin_vet_diet/567604?gclid=CNy438nZldMCFcq37Qod9l0HqQ

Any advice gratefully received.

My vet just put ours on the dry low fat food, he sold us a tin or two of the other but recommended we get it off it as soon as possible as it was so expensive, and it was only in case she didn't eat the dry.

DO NOT feed most of the higher-end dog foods. Go into a pet shop, look at the expensive or recommended stuff, you'll often see 16 per cent fat.
