I think eggs and chicken are different but couldn't even begin to explain why.
I know if a dog is allergic to chicken, they can usually tolerate chicken fat.

I've been giving Ellie Cosequin for the longest time and just today I see a revised ingredient list and one of the things in it is derived from bovine cartilage. We have reason to believe that Ellie is allergic to beef, so now I don't know what to do.
