So I want to avoid those meats until his allergies are under control and then slowly re-introduce them raw because he may not be allergic to them in their natural, raw form.

Ok so here's my question. Nature's Variety has chicken eggs in some of their raw products. Would that effect Codie if he truly is allergice to chicken? Should I just stick to Primal right now? Nature's Variety seems to have a lot more options meat wise.

Also, what about duck or quali meat? If Codie is allergic to chicken/turkey, will be also be allergic to duck and quail and any type of bird meat?

What do you experts think? I know it's all trial and error but I just feel so bad for him. He hurts to even cut his nails right now because his paws are so raw.
the raw chicken eggs like not effect him at all. Others who have allergy pups feed all different kinds of NV raw with no ill effects. NV does have more options. I'd avoid the chicken for now and try beef, venison, or lamb. duck and quail, while birds, and different then chickens and turkey. That's like saying if he's allergic to beef, he would be allergic to deer and buffalo seeing as they are all Ungulates (hoofed animals). Start with one protein and slowly add new ones every few weeks since his allergies are so bad. i'm sure he'll start feeling better soon once he's on the raw
