This is exactly where I’m at. Our pup is 5 months old and exhibiting the signs of having a food allergy. I did the same thing-homemade chicken and rice. I only used it for a week, though before switching over to lamb and rice. She seemed better on the chicken and rice and now (after a week on the lamb and rice) I think the symptoms are as bad as ever. I didn’t realize you need to stay on the elimination diet for 8 weeks. And I certainly didn’t know that chicken was bad. My breeder has recommended Natural Balance duck and potato (very limited ingredients). I think I might try that. Your comment about the cat made me laugh…we said the same thing about our situation.
