The vet I saw (had never seen before) was very nice and seemed to have a large knowledge base. She is totally on board with raw. Well, I told her how I was giving Reese NV venison because I had a feeling she was allergic to chicken. She told me that she did not believe in food allergies, that allergy testing was basically a waste of time, and that she was experiencing this because her immune system is not what it should be (it was another vet at the office who recommended the test). So, I gave her a chicken leg the following day (I had posted about it) and Reese loved it. She threw up that night, which I thought was normal because it was a new protein source for her and not the NV I had been feeding her. BUT...she threw up the next day and the next...I ended up calling the vet again, and it just so happened they got her tests back the day I called and....SHE IS ALLERGIC TO CHICKEN!!!!!!!!! and turkey, and eggs, among other things, but can you believe it!!! I was so pissed!
So now that I am done ranting, the NV has eggs and too many other ingredients, so until I am totally comfortable feeding her raw myself, what is another good brand that I can give that people have experience with? | I haven't used these myself but I've heard good things about Bravo and Primal
