It is not only true physiologically, but anecdotally as well.
As an example, there are dogs who have horrible reactions to chicken in kibble and cooked chicken - however, you give them RAW, organic chicken - and they are 100% fine on it. This is because the raw chicken still has the natural enzymes etcetera in the meat.
I just want to remind you that vets receive a total of about 1.5 hours of nutrition training in vet school. Please just read around before you make your own opinion about what you're hearing.  |
She is not actually my vet, shes the allegry/dermatologist at the emergency hospital. now I dont know how true or not this is but she said that when the proteins of a chicken and a duck are broken down completely they are essentailly the same. Same goes for beef/venison/lamb. I think this is only the case for severe allergies but I cant tell you first hand, since Im not feeding these things. I think allergies are individual to every dog. You shouldnt go by what a doctor tells you...only by what your baby tells you. Find a food that works best for him.
