Chicken..beef..help?

[Tango's Mama]

Tango has been on the wellness fish and sweet potato and lately he has been getting sick from it. I think we decided on another thread that maybe the bag had gone bad. But ive noticed he just dont seem to really "like" the food anymore. Im going to try the Simple Solutions in Venison and see how he goes on it. My question is this..i give him a few spoonfuls of boiled ground chicken in his kibble and since i removed kibble and went to plain rice and boiled chicken until his tummy settled back down he just seems to not want the chicken anymore! What else can i give him? all ive ever gave him meat wise was the chicken. I think hamburger has alot of fat unless you buy real expensive. i know i cant afford steak..ha-ha! But what cuts of beef is a good choice(if beef is a good choice at all??) and maybe whats a good way to cook it up for him..any advice is appreciated!

In boxers your best bet is to stay away from Beef! PHEW!!! It causes gas so bad. I would stick with poultry. Now the other question is why not give him raw? Does he have bad allergies is that why he was on Wellness Fish & SP? Do a slow turn over to the different food since sometimes doing it too fast causes the tummy upset & it may not be that he doesn't like the chicken he just probably has an upset tummy. My girls sometimes skip meals sometimes (although now that they are on raw they come running when the fridge opens). LOL :rolleyes: Maybe once you get him on a food his tummy will settle down and he will be a happy camper again!

Good Luck!

Jaimie..yep..he has terrible allergies..thus far wellness has helped him so much i hate to change a thing! But even before he got the tummy ache from this last bag of food he just didnt want to eat it like normal. I had to beg him to eat it! Yet he would go nuts over any treats and act as if he were starving(this is totally out of character for him too his usual stance is..food..yuck gimme some love- haha) I did go this afternoon and buy some stew beef , i boiled it then put it in the processor and let me tell you..i think he was starving..poor fella..:( I hate the thoughts of gas and i reckon I will know later on tonite if im going to have to sleep in a gas mask or not..thanks for your advice tho. As to raw..i think its me more than him..i just dont know if i could do it, the veggies yes..the meat..noooo! I get sick looking at raw meat but if its the last resort then i will give it a try..

Cody! I'll look into that as well..thanks for the input!

I feed Owen beef all the time and it does not give him gas – each dog is different
But you can also try turkey.

Thus far no gas! I also bought the Wellness simple solutions in venison. He loves it! Maybe this will do the trick. I'll keep hoping no gas....thanks everyone..
