Ben's violently allergic to venison. Not just a little, like, go to the vet allergic. It's a shame because it's really easy for us to get deer meat for nothing. [sm=sad.gif] Or it used to be until we moved - I'm sure it will be the same or better here because my landlord rents out hunting land. It's ironic that my biggest eater is also the one with the most difficult needs.
But he tolerates bison and elk well. It's like the chicken/duck thing - he does OK on duck but not chicken. I thought for a while that he was developing a duck allergy but it turned out to be something else, whew.
Unfortunately most commercial formulas that include bison or elk also include venison or, of course, grains. There's a place a couple hours away where I could get fresh bison but it's really expensive, not to mention the gas getting there. I don't know of any elk farms.
The next time I get paid I'm going to try the Canine Caviar beaver!
