    I can! Just remember all dogs tastes and allergies might be different, but my recipe is simple:
    1 container of chicken livers (or breast!?
    1 handful of baby carrots whole
    1 handful of green beans whole
    1 fish oil capsule
    A *little* sprinkle of salt
    1 handful of chopped kale
    2 potatoes, cut in half
    1 sweet potato, cut in half

    Let it boil until carrots and potatoes are cooked, chop into puggie bite sizes and store in the fridge, 3 days max.

    Ive tried so many different brands because of this! We have our wigglebutt Science Diet Sensitive Skin and Stomach and it has helped a bunch. Just anything outside of her normal diet gives her gas.

    My boxer was on blue buffalo since I got him at 8 weeks. He was doing well until he just got fed up of it around his 7 month mark. I switched him over to another food and he just loves it. Nutrience Sub-Zero. No farts, his coat is awesome.
    He just turned a year old June 1st.

    Y’know what? If you actually gave a$#%&!@*about the safety of our dogs, you’d just put the information in the title instead of luring us into your advertisement-ridden clickbait website with scary headlines. Be better

    Blue Buffalo is a horrible choice in dog food. My pug used to eat it and it caused horrible crystals in his urine. Painful and dangerous. I would never recommend this brand to anyone!

    Home cooking for my puggie! Boiled chicken- shredded. Green beans, or carrots or peas, potato or brown rice. A teaspoon of cream of chicken soup and a little water and he absolutely loves it! His skin allergies have stopped since we started feeding him home cooked a couple years ago!

    All I have ever owned are boxers (they are the best, I’m totally obsessed) but I really suggest this food to people with boxers. They are normally so sensitive and usually have allergies. This food has been great for our boxer and she looks great, has stopped chewing her feet (usually caused from allergies) coat shines and no boxer toots!
