Help! Out of Chicken Soup... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

chloe'smom · 10-08-2006, 10:08 AM

The pet store here no longer carries it. I have been out of town for the past two weeks and my mother ordered some last week but it isn't here yet. Well now she is completely out and I don't know what would be a good substitute. Can anyone tell me which food I should get that would be an easy switch since she is out of her Chicken Soup. Thanks-a-bunch!!!

Some other high quality brands are Nutro, Innova, Canidae, California Natural, Natural Balance and Newmans

This is probably a silly question but do I just boil the chicken...

Elliern · 10-08-2006, 11:40 AM

Yep, just boil it and remove the skin and bones. You can also add cooked potatoes and carrots as well as the rice to it. I have the same problem with my cat. She eats ONLY Chicken Soup and our pet store stopped carrying it. I have been told Diamond Co. makes it very hard for small stores to carry their products and they won't sell to Petsmart/Petco. I refuse to pay as much in delivery charges as for the food. So...every time we go out of town, we check out the pet stores and if they have it we buy several bags at a time. I keep it in the original bag and then wrap that bag again and put it in the freezer. I begin to panic when I am down to 2 bags. So, I do know how you are feeling. At least dogs aren't usually as picky as cats. Good luck and I hope your order arrives soon.

Thanks I am boiling boneless chicken breasts as we speak. One more question...Do I get the chicken as done as I would for human consumption. I hope she enjoys it.

What about green beans???

Thanks everyone for your responses. Beauty enjoyed her chicken and rice with green beans so much that I think I will start giving that to her every now and then. This morning I went on a hunt for Chicken Soup and I found it!!! I found this wonderful feed shop and needlesstosay I will be traveling to get it from now on. Thanks Again!!!
