Food and Allergy update

For the past few weeks, well year or so I guess, my vet has been trying to figure out what is wrong with my dog. From his skin allergies to his gestational problems, my poor dog has been suffering. I started him on allergy shots in November and it seems to be going well. He is still eating the ULTRA expensive Hill's Prescription Z/D though!

I told the vet a few months ago that I need to get him off the special food. It is far too expensive and there has got to be something I can feed him that won't hurt his belly and not cost so much. He told me the give him a 1/2 cup of shredded chicken breast a day for 2 weeks and we would reevaluate from there. 2 weeks ended on Sunday and the chicken is helping his stomach. I called the vet and we are now up to adding 1/2 cup of white rice each day to his food. We are slowly on our way to finding a healthy diet for Rhody that his stomach can handle and my wallet! He gets the rice and chicken now for 2 weeks and we will go from there! This also means that I have reduced the expensive food down from 3 cups a day to about 1 and a half!
