Dog is vomiting after eating Rachel Ray zero grain food. What to do?

All brands have different feeding guidelines and some dogs can differ by up to 10% from the 'normal, recommended' amount to I recommend you check the bag carefully to see how much she should be expected to need daily. Grain free food does not suit all dogs, many domestic dogs digest processed cereals quite well and some do better on these than grain free brands. Sudden diet changes can cause mild gastrointestinal upset also, so if it is not settling over 5-7days I would return to her previous or a sensitive diet formula to see if it resolves again

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Yoda. Plain chicken and rice is sometimes fed as bland diet to below to help with gastrointestinal upset. This is fine to feed short term. Grain-free dog food diets are not current being recommended to feed longterm as they have been associated with heart disease in dogs. I hope this information helps!

He needs more fiber in his food. I do not recommend grain free food now since they have found an increase in heart disease in dogs that eat grain free exclusively. The research is ongoing but if he has flatulence and constipation I recommend switching diets. I use Hills food or recommend Nutro Naturals. You can also add plain canned pumpkin to his diet for added fiber but that may not help the gas. Vomiting blood once could be from a bone or stick. If it continues then that is a serious medical problem that needs veterinary care. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your dog.

Poor guy. You could try some anatacids. Call your vet to get a dosage since they have seen Hughir and are legally ok to provide the dosage for you. THe best thing to do here though is to let his stomach settle by fasting him for 12 hrs and then slowly introduce small portions of plain boiled chicken or lean ground turkey and white rice for the next few days. Sometimes with a sour stomach it isn't necessarily bad to allow the pet to make themselves vomit a few times to get whatever upset them out of their system. I do hope that Hughir feels better soon! If the vomiting continues then its best to have your vet take a look at him. He likely will need anti-nausea medication to stop the vomiting episodes and get him back on track. With his history of kidney disease, your vet may even just allow you to come by and pick up the medication without having to schedule an appt. Its worth a shot! Best of luck moving forward. Take care! : )

There is a good chance she has an absorption problem, preventing her from eating her regular dog kibble. Some possible causes of this are intestinal masses, a pancreas problem, or a lymphatic issues just to name a few. I would consider placing her on an easily digestible vet approved food such as Royal Canin Ultamino, Royal canin vegetarian or Hill's Z/D. The hamburger and rice can be continued if you also add in vegetables to make it a well balance nutritional diet. Here is a website link with free recipes you can try to start off. www.balance-it.com Best wishes getting tot he root of Bell's problem. If she doesn't seem to be resolving, or if you want more information on her GI tract, then its best to schedule an abdominal ultrasound soon. Best wishes sorting through things with Bella. I hope she stops her vomiting episodes soon.

It could be due to the new food. I can give you a home remedy for Chance to se if that helps. Withhold food tonight, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, he refuses to eat the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, develops diarrhea, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away.

Yes, you are correct that there is concern that no grain foods may potentially linked to heart disease, and the FDA is now investigating that. Personally, I recommend feeding Gypsy Royal Canin, Hill's Science Diet, Purina ProPlan, or Iams. I feed my own dogs Iams and they love it. I hope this helps!
