My pit was breaking out for awhile before we realized that he had an allergy to the rice in his food. We now feed him a hybrid of grain free kibble (we use taste of the wild but apparently costco has a great, cheaper grain free brand) and homemade food (usually ground beef, vegetables, sweet potatoes and beans). I definitely recommend going grain free - it's healthier for my dog at least. Hope this helps!OrionLoviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462985598258663573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-40272113257157659942012-05-20T10:29:29.573-05:002012-05-20T10:29:29.573-05:00I so hope it works for you guys!

Starch allergy is ...Great info and advice, K-Koira! Starch allergy is definitely more a accurate way to describe it.<br /><br />I've considered the pressure cooker. Being a terrible cook, I haven't invested in many "special" cooking tools. But the pressure cooker sounds like a good idea.happypitbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607831951903607541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-58383216518729380152012-05-16T23:46:44.115-05:002012-05-16T23:46:44.115-05:00I wanted to mention that neither rice nor potatoes...I wanted to mention that neither rice nor potatoes have gluten in them, so while there may indeed be a starch allergy of some kind, if he is not okay with rice and/or potatoes, it is not a gluten allergy. <br /><br />The other thing is, I was going to suggest using a pressure cooker instead of baking. In a pressure cooker, chicken bones can be cooked to a squishable mush that is safe to feed to the dogs, which gives them the needed nutrients in the bones as well as reducing the amount of work you need to do. When I did cooked food for the dogs, it would be whole chickens or chicken quarters (depending on price, etc) cooked in the pressure cooker with water, then mushed up with cooked rice and vegetables, then frozen in individual portions. And, of course, the dogs loved it.K-Koirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01933780350863090595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-52917304258790868532012-05-16T18:38:49.534-05:002012-05-16T18:38:49.534-05:00Yeah, it's been a while!
