If your poor yorkie had not had that reaction, I would have been surprised. The best way to start is with a piece of bone in chicken breast and remove the skin or visible fat. Use a fork to score it. You might want to cut the breast in 1/2 - at least that's what I do. Feed the chicken breast for a good 10 days to give their bodies a chance to adjust and then add small amounts of other meats bit by bit. I'm surprised your biewer didn't have problems as well but I will say I used to have a collie who had extreme sensitivity and that went away for the most part when I switched to raw - unless I over did liver or a new meat. |
Thank you so much for the suggestions. I feel terrible about this. I read all the links and most of the posts on YT but I never found any direct info on the initial transition.
