    The reason they call for a Bland diet is that it is supposed to be low to no fat, which is why you are supposed to boil the hamberger in water and drain to take off the fat…

  • my b's do great on Chicken, but they can't handle corn.

  • @sharronhurlbut:

    my b's do great on Chicken, but they can't handle corn.

    Amen to that… corn!!! yuck... my Kristii only has to look at corn and she breaks out into hives

  • Corn is basically a filler and doesn't provide nutritional value anyway-I try to stay away from it.

  • C3 & TOPAZ LOVE LOVE LOVE chicken..until C3 was diagnosed with allergy to poultry :(

  • do you all just boil it? no seasonings? white only?

  • For tummy upsets, boil, no seasonings… white has less fat.... but I do boil it for regular meals as an extra, especially for my 16yr olds... and I use dark (cheaper)... and keep some of the fat...

  • If you can use brown rice it's better nutritionally than white-also sweet potato is excellent nutrition as well-it's pretty easy for them to digest as well.

  • I make boiled chicken with rice, carrots, green beans and sometimes peas. He loves it the first day, but he doesn't like eating "leftovers" the next day. And yet he'll eat an old deep-fried chicken wing that he "discovers" near the park. (And nearly rip my hand off if I try to get it away from him.) Go figure!

  • that made me laugh out loud!

    :D :D I am also not aware of any problems with feeding chicken. Should be fine as far is I know.

    @elbrant said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: divisive I guess I'm a dreamer.... but I believe that adults can have discussions and opinions without resorting to name calling and rude remarks. Your input is valuable. Thanks, because it's become a religion as soon as you speak against it people get so offended. The last 3 years has shown that quite clearly @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: Another friend's dog has a swollen leg at the vaccination site of his booster which is not resolving I"m sorry to hear about your friend's loss and understand the concern about the other friend's swollen leg. I had a similar experience, one of my dog's (not doodle) had a grossly swollen leg following a vet visit. The Vet told me it was cancer and I opted to let her go. Month's later I read online that it could have been the result of an allergic reaction. Please advise your friend to research possible answers before she makes a decision. Will do, a lot of the medication/vaccines cause inflammatory responses so it could just be that, it's still not nice for the dog to have that experience @Saving said in Bordatella and Canine Influenza Vaccines: dry food ... suffering from malnutrition omgosh! That is so scary!! I doubt the big manufacturers would ever allow a real study to see the light of day, but I would love to see one done. Just the thought makes me want to keep feeding my girl human grade foods. Yeah the same here, her research indicated that raw chicken wings were the optimal food and contain pretty much everything needed. I guess if you think of some of the processed crap they have in supermarkets trading as food for humans you can imagine how low the bar can go for pet food.

    @Rebel - Full blood workup including full Thyroid panel (full panel no just what the normal vet workup that is not a full thyroid panel)... as they say make sure that he is in good health. Also what are you feeding him? How much total are you feeding a day? Also with reducing food, add veggies to his food to fill his belly... green beans are good to use... I use Cauliflower and Broccoli... Note also that low normal is typically too low for Basenjis.

    @serenjane My Kembe had the freckles on her neck - more pronounced in summer months w/ the sun and also as she aged. I use to call her my little 🦒 giraffe. 😂
