I know chicken gives our dogs diarrhea. The vet told me that it’s the hardest protein for dogs to digest.

My shitzu has IBD/Crohn’s. We rotate feeding her Zignature Lamb and Zignature Kangaroo. She is doing extremely well with both! One thing that I learned from our experience is that chicken protein is the hardest protein for a dog to digest so she was absolutely no chicken in her diet at all. Your probably is low on vitamin B because of her IBD. I would expect her vitamin B levels to improve once her IBD is in remission.

We have 2 shitzus. One can eat just about anything without a problem and the other has Crohn’s. We were feeding them Acana singles without a problem but then out of nowhere the dog with Crohn’s had a bad flare-up. I don’t fault the Acana, I think she had some treats that contained chicken (I learned later it is hard for dogs to digest chicken). She was hospitalized and the vet wanted to put her on Prescription Diet IBS Formula. I asked her if I could try something else and she said a limited ingredient food would probably be okay. So I rotate between the Zignature lamb and kangaroo (because I was told these are the easiest proteins for a dog to digest) and it’s been over 6 months and she is doing great! On the other hand, my other dog that can eat anything is getting bored with Zignature so I am rotating it with the Acana. Hope that helps.
