If you think it is an allergic reaction making him sick you could switch to an allergy formula. Natural Balance has several allergy formulas and they offer samples. You can find NB at PetCo or other specialty pet food stores. I have also heard the reason most vets recommend science diet is because they sell it at their practice. I also heard there is not much teaching on diets or nutrition in vet school and what is taught is usually sponsored by a pet food brand, such as science diet.
You might want to call your vet and see if there is something else you can try. The boiled chicken sounds like a good idea, though. Very bland...maybe just keep trying that? Luckly my babies have never been sick, though. So, I'd go with calling the vet - see what they recommend. |
Thank you, that is great info....I am going to ask the vet, but try the chicken for a while. I just had to put down our 15 year old yorkie , so I am extra paranoid with this babb
