| Harley has many allergies/sensitivities and usually the first sign one exists is gas (with him), I then watch for skin color change (it turns bright red) and for diarrhoea. Chicken is often something that dogs become allergic to very quickly. If I were you I'd watch for these upsets in the future, if you are seeing anything like this I'd consult your vet. I've learned with him that some gas is of course normal, but if you are consistently seeing gas and lots of it consistently with a certain food, chances are they're having troubles stomaching it. On a lighter note... oy Harley can sure clear a room when he has the stinkies.... luckily his new food doesn't upset his tummy, so we're rid of the stinkies.

| I agree,if chicken or any food is causing a pup to have gas,then their body isnt digesting it well. You might want to find something else that your dog loves to eat. |

| No, chicken has never caused gas in any of my dogs, but it does cause severe diarrhea and vomiting in one of my dogs who has an allergy to it. Good luck.

| I think Tibbe might be developing an allergy to it since after several pieces last weekend, he had a day of gas, rumbling tummy and loose stools, though no frank diarrhea and no vomiting. Soon as all that chicken was digested and gone, he was his old self again. This is about the third time this has happened so am not giving anymore chicken for a long while just to see how he does without any at all.

| My little loves get a 1/2 piece of chicken jerky every morning. They seem to do fine with it, but if a "little stinker" does sneak out, it has a distinctive odor. In our case, Turkey is the worst. None of my 4 can tollerate it.

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | How was the chicken cooked? Did it have skin? How large were the pieces? You say small, but were they less than an inch, less than a forth of an inch? Too much food can cause trouble with digestion. Chicken isn't as likely to give gas as other things, gas usually means something isn't digesting well. Also, is it possible someone else gave them a treat around the same time?

| In Tibbe's case, the pieces of chicken were about 1/2 - 1" long strips about 1/4" wide at the middle, smaller ends and he had 5 of them. It was skinless, grilled by my neighbor the chef so it had been marinaded in something. He had eaten it like that many times in the past but the last 3 times, he had the gassy reaction.

| Oh, yeah, as a longtime user of marinades, I realize they are often spicey, sweet, sour, etc., but Tibbe ate this un-spicey, -sweet or -sour-tasting chicken for quite some time - maybe twice a month - for 4 or 5 months before these last 3 times of upset so I am going to refrain from giving him any chicken for a good long while until his tummy and other digestive organs have had time to really get over this last bout. Then I will one day probably cautiously re-introduce him to a bit of plain boiled chicken. I don't know that my neighbor uses marinades but assumed that as a chef, he probably could not resist it since his grilled chicken tastes way better than my grilled chicken.

| Oh, I hope that is all it is but plain boiled chicken down the road will tell the tale. He loves his chicken so well I would hate him to have to forego that delight!

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I know, and it's usually the “go to” item that vets suggest when they do have tummy issues. I think other meats are considered a little harder to digest.
