many of the store brand dog foods are packed with fillers, which go in one end, and come out the other. Low residue foods contain less fillers. The less that comes out, means the more the dog is retaining as beneficial food. One of the most common fillers is soy meal, so, try to find a brand that has no soy. If you go to a pet food shop, discuss your dogs age and activity level with someone who ,is knoledgable, and find the correct protein level for you dog. An active, in it's prime dog generally requires about 21-23 % protein, but as they age and slow down, the protein content should be reduced.

Can you break open a capsule of zonisamide and give to dog in something?

Has this drug been prescribed for your dog by a veterinarian? If so, how did he tell you to use it? I would call the vet and ask for instructions on how to give it to your pet. If it was NOT prescribed by a vet, and is for human use for seizures, then DO NOT give it to your dog. Take your dog to a vet if it is having seizures.

Comparing prescription dog food to regular dog food?

"Prescription food" is prescribed from the vet specificity for your dog. However, many vets don't know very much about dog nutrition and many practices are sponsored by brands such as Hill's and Royal Canin. For the most part, these foods are not great quality and are expensive for what they are. Research the food, and the health issue your dog has. If you absolutely need prescription food, you could probably get these foods cheaper online or at a pet store than at the vet practice.
