So,now we know as of right now Lacey is allergic to chicken.We’ve tried chicken by itself(raw),grain free dog food with chicken(high protein),chicken with 3 grains(lower protein),chicken can food and have come to the conclusion that she can’t have chicken for at least a year.In June of 2012 we will re evaluate the chicken intolerance with something like Natural Balance Sweet Potato & Chicken or something that has just Chicken & Rice(probably from Natura) and see what happens next year.Only other time she will get chicken is maybe a small piece at Thanksgiving but defiantly not even equivalent to one piece of chicken.So,now,we have got a dog or chickenpressed dog on our hands who does not even wag her tail at the words “Lacey,it’s time to feed Brownie!”so it’s obvious she’s not a happy camper about it but we are trying to keep her healthy & not sick!
Now,I need to find chicken free dog food and once her can food runs out which the way she’s going will be soon & not really wanting to eat her dry food,I am looking into frozen raw/freeze dried/dehydrated raw dog food for her but I do not want something like THK(The Honest Kitchen)because from past experience of feeding THK to her she would eat the meat and leave the rest,so I am busy gathering the GA’s(Guaranteed Analysis)for the dry food/freeze dried/frozen/dehydrated raw food to see whether what we are looking for is available locally or buy it online.A lot of the dry foods she would have been able to have is mostly chicken mixed with another protein so that won’t work although she has not had a reaction to chicken liver specifically nor chicken fat or chicken eggs.Some foods have also recently came out with new dry foods so we need to get those GA’s for those too.She will also be needing more treats soon too anyways…
She’s also allergic to heavy grains(4 grains or more) and bison meal but not bison by itself not that we are aware of YET…
