Chicken is usually recommended, along with rice, as a good for dogs especially recovering after illness. When I visited a shelter in Spain some years ago, raw chicken carcases were delivered from a chicken processing factory as food for the rescue dogs. I regularly feed minced cooked chicken to my dogs without a problem.
However, dogs can have allergies to certain foods just like humans. so can they have a chicken allergy?

From Hope For Podencos
Deejay is every bit as striking as he is sweet. A graceful Podenco Ibicenco with movie star looks, he trots around like a show pony and has completely stolen the hearts of everyone who’s met him. Rescued after being found stray, Deejay has shown us what a lovely, balanced young lad he is. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he knows you, his affectionate nature shines through and he’ll make a wonderfully loyal companion. He’s fantastic with other dogs and absolutely loves to play. (more…)
Some dogs are more vocal than others. I’m not talking about barking, whether it be as an alarm because someone is at the door, orbarking in play. I’m talking about your dog talking to you. My Podenco Rosie loves carrying one of her toys in her mouth, especially when I’ve been out and return home. She nakes a lovely soft growly noise, tail wagging furiosly, for anything up to 2 or 3 minutes. I love it, and of course talk back to her!

From Bev Farmer, Podenco Friends.
It is so important that people hear about the struggles we face in rescue with the Podencos. Blanca’s tragic loss was devastating, but I hope her life was not in vain. Her legacy lives on in every Podenco we have gone on to rescue since.
The perrera where Blanca came from is located deep in the countryside of the Valencia region, where many hunters keep Podencos. For many years, unwanted dogs have been handed in there when they are no longer considered useful. (more…)
I’ve been involved with the plight of the Podenco since 2007. Bev Farmer of Podenco Friends was one of the first people I came to know. One day I saw a photo of an old podenca dumped in a perrera and contacted Bev, to see if we could save her. I would help with expenses etc. This is the story from Bev.
‘Every year, Blanca’s post appears in my Facebook memories. 2013. 13 years ago. I will never let her be forgotten.
Blanca was 13 years old when her owner handed her into a perrera in Valencia. Paid the service fee knownIng that a dog of that age would never be adopted and be euthanized That was her reward after all those years of loyalty and service. (more…)
As we all know, dogs will scavenge and eat a multitude of things they pick up. Some of these can be infected or in some cases in the garden, poisonous. They generally should know what to steer clear of eating, but not always.

Weak and starving when rescued. Male Podenco picked up in Fortuna, Murcia. No chip by @anguimar_servicios.
Now safe.
Another podenco who suffered at the hands of a galguero. Beaten but not broken. Strong in spirit.
