Is it normal for my dog to be so affected by which protein she's eaten?
I do a homemade mostly raw diet at this point. Everything she eats is usda organic and grassfed(in the case of red meat or dairy), free range (in the case of poultry and eggs) or wild caught (in the case of seafood) so it isn't additives. She has eaten raw ground beef, raw egg yolks, raw chicken and veggie patties (from Paw naturaw), raw turkey and veggie patties (also from Paw Naturaw), a raw dehydrated bison and vegetable diet ( Paw Naturaw again), boiled whole shredded boneless skinless chicken, and wild salmon filets. She has veggies added except to the Paw Naturaw diets, which she doesn't eat anymore. She does best bar none on raw ground beef, followed by dried bison and steamed salmon, followed by cooked chicken, and raw poultry patties are dead last. She is a ball of fire when eating beef and was very lazy when she ate the raw poultry patties. I don't know about eggs because she hasn't had one since her first heat 4 months ago (all the eggs around here contain dangerous phytoestrogen-rich soy) It affects her after the first meal when I switch proteins, Is this normal? Might it be different with poultry if I do that homemade as opposed to premade? I thought about it but if she wouldn't eat it (she hated the patties-had to force feed her) or did poorly on it I would be stuck with 12 lbs of chicken from Tropical Traditions (the only acceptable chickens I can find) and that stuff ain't cheap lol-we're talking $80 plus tax and shipping. She is an 11 month old intact female Pom/Chi cross if that matters
