Our Yorkshire terrier cross can only have specific digestive support biscuits, Royal canine gastric intestinal tins, he hates it, boiled white fish, boiled rice and boiled chicken, my question, is there any difference between boiled chicken and roast chicken in water, all skinless when given to our pet, only treats are a piece of carrots, he takes it or leaves it. We have to give him periodically half sachet of Yudigest twice a day, because of loose motions, he is approx 12 years old, Treats?

I would advise boiled chicken over roast chicken to use as treats. The roast chicken can have oils, and butters on it which are high in fat and can cause health problems. These health problems can lead to gastrointestinal upset such a pancreatitis.
