Thats a pretty violent reaction, sounds like you have a sensitive little girl. It could have been just a reaction to the new food or beef is very rich and can be fatty so its not the best thing to start with.

I don't feed premade but would suggest trying perhaps the lamb if she doesn't do well on chicken, but don't give her a whole medallion this time, give her maybe a quarter and see how she does. Sensitive dogs generally need to be introduced to raw a little slower than others. There will be a type of raw that suits her, its just trial and error. Of course in my opinion its possibly a little harder with premade raw because for all we know she could have been having a reaction to one of the veggies that is in there, or the egg, whereas with doing it yourself you can introduce each food on its absolute own which makes it easier to pinpoint when they have a problem to a particular food.
