Chicken Broth, Chicken, Whitefish, Brewer's Rice, Corn Grits, Chicken Liver, Beef By-Products, Chicken By-Products, Fish Meal, Dried Egg Product, Dried Beet Pulp, Chicken By-Product Meal, Fish Oil
that doesnt seem bland to me; u think i should boil some chicken and feed her that instead without the rice?
i am taking tomorrow off to watch her and if she gets sick again i will take her back
by the way how much does it cost to consult with susan davis about homecooking. |

I would not do the chicken as when dex ever gets a vomitting episode i restrict food to let his tummy rest and then i soak his kibble and slowly introduce food back then he lets me know when he feels better as her barks at me to give him more food loll I will not feed him anything but that food - Luckily we have only had a couple vomitting episodes but he usually gets right back on track
The best food is the one that works so it really is hard to say as food issues are a process of elimination but she has been on this food long enough to see if it will work and since she is relapsing it is time to transition off. Seems like chicken is culprit as alot of chicken stuff in this food and our ims said ibd dogs do not do well on chicken diets. My dex is on a hydrolized soy diet so it is soy and it is broken down further
