We tried this and it cured our dog in a matter of a couple of hours! Saved us a LOT of money that we 1. didn't have and 2. would've spent at the vet.Replied By Kimmi (Wichita, Kansas) on 08/16/2011
Please be advised that poultry such as chicken and turkey can be toxic for small breeds... Like chihuahuas and all other small breeds.
It is hard on their digestive systems and liver.Replied By Shiela (Toulon, France) on 11/18/2011
I didn't have any idea that chicken and turkey can be toxic for chihuahuas!!!!! Every single vet I have seen, has always recommended this diet in case of a stomach or eating problem. So do all the breeders I know. Help! So what do I do now?? I have chihuahuas, and sometimes they do have stomach problems. Please tell me waht to give them instead. Thanks.

I have a long haired chihuahua who is currently staying with my inlaws.. They feed him chicken and beans every now and then along with his usual kibble. Just the other day we gave him a turkey leg to finish off and he's doing just fine as usual. I would say myself that it's safe but there maybe other dogs out there who just can't stomach it.Replied By Ed (San Diego, California) on 01/15/2012
I have a mini pincher/chihuahua mix. I boil chicken leg quarters, and give her small portion of chicken meat everyday as a supplement with her dog feed everyday. Never had a problem. These little dogs like mine will never stop eating if you keep giving them food all day. So just one good feeding for her a day.Replied By Dharmah34 (Glace Bay, Nova Scotia (ns)) on 03/04/2012
Hi, About the post stating that chicken & turkey can be toxic to small breeds, sorry I do not believe this maybe if you overfeed your small one alot of meat & I mean alot!! Or maybe the dog was alergic to chicken & turkey or another possibility the cooking area was not cleaned properly, the meat might not have been fully cooked, it could be many things that made the poor dog sick so please don't worry about it, I think we have enough to worry about when it comes to our beloved fur-kids I know I do & I am not alone.

Chicken toxic to dogs? Are you kidding? Dog are junk eaters by nature, so they eat what they find. If its edible, they would munch on it and let their digestive system deal with it. In short - chicken is not toxic to dogs, confirmed by a vet.Replied By Sue (Lighthouse Point, Fl) on 03/13/2013
Chicken & turkey toxic to small dogs?! That's ridiculous. I feed all 4 of my dogs a completely raw diet consisting of all types of raw meat including organ meat and bone. They get their share of chicken and turkey I can assure you. They are thriving!Replied By Svenlovesflo (Pittsburgh, Pa) on 06/22/2013
I have fed chicken to my 2 dogs... One a Jack Russell and the other a Tibetan terrier... For years they both ate chicken without any issues but a couple years ago, Flo my Jack Russell started getting bloody stools after having chicken. I am guessing that age may have something to do with that or she could have developed some kind of allergy... But for the 1st 14 years of her life chicken was good.
