I have a Bloodhound named Gus. He will be two years old in Feb.
Around his first birthday he developed a terrible allergy to chicken (and other poultry). Hes been placed on Hills D/D and its done wonders.
My question is, does anyone else have a dog with a bad food intolerance?
It took 3 vets to diagnose this since it was so severe...and they dont have a lot to say about it.
Gus' bag of dog food is about $100.00 a bag, and only lasts him 3 weeks. I have a few home receipes I could try...but to be honest I'm kind of nervous. At the time of the allergy, I worked at a vet clinic and didnt have to pay any bills when he was hospitalized...but now I dont...and wouldnt be able to afford that.
Has anyone else had any success with cooking for their dogs? I would need to buy a deep freeze, as I have no room in my fridges tiny freezer to house any of this food long term. This would be a huge investment, and wasteful if this food didnt work.
