Re: Is BLUE BUFFALO BASIC good for dog allergy?

Hi this is Shawn, just got back from the ASPCA web site. The reason I went there was Merlin posted some things printed by dog press.com, I had to see for myself. I do disagree with dog press on almost everything in that article. So does the ASPCA. Go see for yourself. HTH, Shawn.

Re: Feeding my chow

Donna, just read some things about chows on the Wikipedia web site. Wikipedia did say chows were one of the first primitive breeds to originate from the grey wolf in northern china, used for hunting, herding, and home protection. But it also says, the black tounge Chow was bred for human consumption...

Re: Feeding my chow

Donna, forgot to mention, you dont have to cook the veggies. tho, Coco does prefer the greens to be cooked. I read only the organic coconut oil works, not the $4.00 chemically processed type. You should google the difference, I did. What is Dino-vote?? My sister has many mini-ausies, and one rat dog...

Re: Feeding my chow

Donna hi, sorry to hear about your chow, I'm sure thins will get better eventually. I read so many different conflicting things on how to feed a chow, you almost have to read between the lines. Consider some web-sites say chows are allergic to beef, chichen, pork and lamb. You read also some say the...

Re: Commercial or home-made food?

Hi, this is Shawn, I'd like to say something. Read what is in your dog food, cooked grain of some type, veggies, maybe fruit, and meat. 7 ingredients-ish or so, you'd think. Count the ingredients. Wow! If you went to the store and bought just the cooked grain, veggies, fruit, and meat then brought i...

Re: Feeding my chow

I never said protein free diet, read slower. Many body builders and nutricianalist prefer eggs, plain yogurt, and fish because of the higher bioavalibility of the protien, more easy to digest, ie; more gets to your muscles before it gets eliminated from your body. You can feed a dog 4oz of red meat,...

Coco was always itchy, scratching, repeat, repeat. I went searching for answers, now this is what I've learned. Chows are allerg...
