Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | You could buy canned rabbit, lamb - is it Wysong that makes all of those canned meats? Buffalo, venison would be good options, but tougher to find. Scrambled eggs? Whatdidja decide about the nutritionist - are you gonna go for it? She would have food ideas too.

Wysong makes this 95% Au Jus stuff - which is really just the meat itself - so check this out. If you look around on the site, you'll also see rabbit by Wysong and the other exotics too, so there might be some options for Layla.

Or, maybe you can even find it somewhere locally or on Amazon...? It really looks good.

| I know how it is... Always trying to figure out what they're allergic to. If you don't use lamb, duck or fish, you would have to buy it cooked (as Ann said) and to me that defeats the purpose of homecooking since the meat is processed and canned. If she has never had turkey or egg in any dog food before, it might be fine.

| We too have always home cooked for our babies even as a kid. I was told by our Vet recently that Turkey is not the best for Yorkies and ironically neither of my yorkies like turkey or lamb. I'm assuming that Duck would also be too fatty for them but I don't know. I cook organic chickens, pork chops, Dakota Organic ground beef (found at Costco and is YUM!), ground pork, certain fish if they are in the mood, and once a month I cook the chicken livers in a saucepan of water, which every one of my dogs LOVES mixed in with their dinner including the juice. (My Mom swears by this). In the summer we grill the meats and the rest of the year I will bake or boil. I also add tons of veggies from the garden or frozen with a little brown rice mixed in and eggs once in a while. This is usually their dinner than I give them organic kibble for breakfast and midnight snacks. It seems to work great for us. Please understand that I'm not an expert on this, just trying to keep my babies as healthy as I can. Good Luck with finding the allergy, I'm sure it's not an easy task. What made you think it was an allergy? I'm just curious about the symptoms? My little girl licks her feet like crazy sometimes . |
