Zoe's Ears

gja1000 · 12-09-2009, 08:19 PM

Marilyn, I feed my pups organic raw (frozen) chicken. I thaw it in the microwave or in the fridge overnight. It's Natures Variety brand. You can get another brand of frozen raw chicken at PetSmart, I think.

One of my boys is a VERY picky eater and he gobbles down the raw chicken every morning. They both are doing very well on it.

I've also been told to feed my mom's dog lamb and rice because he has skin/allergy problems.

Thank you, all. I'm definitely going to try some of these ideas. I did buy some lamb and rice, and will try it next & see what happens. Zoe has been a little better the past couple of days. Some days are worse than others. There has to be a fix for this. You are all so wonderful and caring. Thank you so much!!!

I just found this Marilyn, and I feel so bad for little Zoe! It does sound like a food allergy. I feed the same as Gayle does, Nature's Variety raw food. It really got rid of a lot of small problems Max was having. He was super picky, had dry skin, sounded like an old man snorting and coughing, and now has more energy. Annie loves it too. She was also picky. Max also lost weight, which he has sadly gained back. Too many dog treats!

I use the beef medallions. I give them one each, along with a grain free kibble, just for their teeth. The 3 pound bag costs $17 and lasts a month. You have to wash your hands after feeding, and I use paper bowls so that bacteria is not an issue.

I hope you find a food that helps Zoe. I really recommend the Nature's Variety. They deliver too, if you want.

Hey Judy, I think Nature's Variety raw is a very good food! It has completely cured my picky eater and I think both boys are healthier and more active. They don't have any allergy or ear problems, but I think they just do better on the food.

I also use paper plates and I use plastic spoons to cut it up (they want it cut up

) so that I don't have to think about raw meat bacteria. I feed Solid Gold Wee Bits hard food for their teeth. They do great on that combination.

Where do you get these foods? I don't even know where to begin to look. Is it pure meat?

Nature's Variety is pure meat. You can get a different brand, not Nature's Variety, of frozen raw meat at PetSmart.

There is a store locator at the Nature'sVariety.com website See below for locations in your city. There are several. You can also register for a coupon for a free bag (buy one get one free). They've sent me 2 free coupons so far. It really helps because the food is expensive. I feed 2 medallions to each dog each day, Judy only feeds one to each dog. There are 48 medallions in each bag. For the hard food, I'd just feed anything high quality, organic (no fillers or dyes to cause allergies) and that is lamb formula.

There are other brands. As long as it contains raw meat, ground bone, and a good assortment of veggies, you're good to go. I would look at the Nature's Variety ingredient list and try to match it if you have a different raw food near you.

I am going to try Oma's raw food because it is available right nearby. It has the same ingredients essentially.
