| If your pup is allergic to Chicken... What are you feeding? What food are you feeding if your pup is allergic to chicken? Every time I feed Max a food that has chicken in it (at least that is what I think I have narrowed it down to) he eats at his paws, legs and rump. Also his eye staining gets worse. I think he may have a chicken allergy. He is doing well on the Acana Grasslands but the pieces are so big he swallows them whole. Thanks

| I have 3 yorkies and one of them is gets runny poops when he eats chicken. They all get Natures Recipe lamb and rice. I baked them some cod and tiipia fish. Natures recipe canned lamb and rice or salmon and rice. I do my best to stay away from chicken.

| My two favorites were NV Instinct Rabbit and TOTW's Pacific Stream. I stopped feeding TOTW when there was such an outcry about it containing ethoxyquin. Innova Evo has just come out with a new Salmon & Herring formula and we just that started last week. So far the babies really like it and I like the nice small kibble size.

| Considering the many, many ingredients listed on dog food (some I'm sure you can't pronounce much less know what they are), how can you be positive it's the chicken causing allergies? Even if you feed dog food and are giving "real" chicken? I home cook and only use Bison. I'd love to find wild game such as venison and rabbit.

That fat content is 18.6%, which is less than the Instinct I've been feeding (22%).

Oh, I wanted to add that early on I inadvertently bought food a couple of times that contained chicken. Within 2 weeks Alex would be gnawing on his paws again. As soon as I stopped those foods, he stopped gnawing.

But when I fed Acana Chricken (Prairie Harvest) he was chewing his feet and stuff. INGREDIENTS Chicken meal, russet potato, fresh free-run chicken, peas, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherals and rosemary), fresh walleye, pumpkin, fresh whole eggs, sun-cured alfalfa leaf, fresh northern Lake Whitefish, chicken cartilage (a natural source of glucosamine and chondroitin), red delicious apples, carrots, turnip greens, organic kelp, organic bladderwrack, organic dulse, juniper berries, cranberries, Saskatoon berries, angelica root, chicory root, red clover, red raspberry leaf, dandelion root, peppermint leaf, marigold flowers, chamomile flowers, rosemary extract, Enterococcus faecium. When I fed Acana Lamb (Grasslands) he did not scratch his body & chew his feet. INGREDIENTS Lamb meal, sweet potato, raw de-boned lamb, peas, fresh whole eggs, sun-cured alfalfa, sunflower oil, fresh de-boned walleye, pumpkin, fresh de-boned nothern pike, apples, carrots, turnip greens, organic sea vegetables (kelp, bladderwrack, dulse), juniper berries, cranberries, saskatoon berries, black currants, angelica root, chicory root, red clover, red rasberry leaf, dadelion root, peppermint leaf, marigold flowers, chamomile flowers, rosemary extract, lactobacillus acidophilus, entercoccus faecium. I can read all the natural ingredients in Acana. No weird stuff in it It took about 3 weeks to finish each bag. I love Acana. But it is hard to get at times (sold out) and the kibble size is so big the boys swallow it instead of chewing it.

| I was reading in Dr. Pitcairns book where dogs are prone to food and other allergies if their bodies are compromised. Seems feeding commercial pet foods actually run the immune system down. If they have a really strong immune system, then they either don't have allergies or maybe one.
