We adopted a Yorkie in March who is allergic to chicken. He HATED the prescription diet his previous owners were giving him (Hill's z/d) and so was underweight. After a disastrous experiment at finding something that he would eat that wouldn't make him sick, I followed the advice of other YTers on this forum, and got in touch with Susan Blake Davis Pet Health Pet Nutritionist Holistic Pet.

She had me fill out a questionnaire, and after a couple of email exchanges, she called promptly at the agreed time. She talked to me for over an hour, and gave recommendations for both a home cooked diet and commercially prepared food.

Susan does charge for her service, but it was money well spent. Her advice was targeted to Wendell's particular condition and was spot on. I've tried all of the recommendations, and they were in instant hit. Wendell LOVES his new foods, has gained .8 lbs, has had no recurrence of diarrhea and vomiting. You might want to consider contacting Susan if Natures Variety doesn't work for Gizmo.
