Dogs with health conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, anal sac disorders, pancreatitis, kidney disease and other problems, may have different nutritional
requirements than average adult dogs.
For example, according the HHS 2011 Poverty Guidelines, for a single
adult with no spouse or children, he or she would have needed to
average less
than $ 10,890 in income to be eligible, as well as meeting the other
requirements, such as a lack of recent health insurance, and other
requirements by the individual state.
