YT 2000 Club Member | dog food My spud was put on a special diet because of pancreatitis. He ate hills zd dog food. He has gotten tired of that so now he eats royal canin hydrolyzed protein. He really likes this food. It is so much more tasty than hills. Try this before the zd. |

These babies are like kids....what one loves, the next wont even look at a second time! Royal Canin is usually well received and most dogs like it.....I am thrilled your baby is enjoying it and doing well with it. Just dont start jumping all over the place with a hundred different foods....that is a game they will get you all tied up in, and it will drive you NUTS!! You have him on a "disease specific" formula, he likes it, it is good for him and his condition, STICK WITH IT!!! If he turns his nose up at the food one day, just hang with it.....dont go rushing out to find something he wants that day.....he will eat when he gets hungry! If he thinks you are ready and willing to continue jumping around, trying a dozen different foods.....no, no, dont start that!!! He will play you like a jazz piano! | |

| Not to be eaten Being a marketing manager in desiccant production company, I get so many mails from clients regarding inquiries about silica gel and oxygen absorber products. I remember once a lady called me and she was very scared. She told me that her yorkie was chewing something, she checked and found that that packet what her yorkie eating was actually a silica gel packet with the print "Not to be eaten". She sent me a pic of that pack which you can find below. http://imgur.com/GtSu5Mt She wanted to know, is that packet Poisonous To Dogs? I simply told her no need to worry about it, as the silica gel sachets are completely non toxic material and most dogs get away with this. It's better to keep and eye on your dog and if you see any odd symptoms, you should contact your nearest pet doctor. This little packets, commonly marked "Not to Eat" so people think such pockets might be poisonous.

https://www.facebook.com/notes/aspca.../487401049631/ From the above link: FAQ: When I buy a new pair of shoes or some electronics there is a little bag in the box that says on it "Do not eat." Are these poisonous to my pets? A: These little packages are filled with silica gel. It is an inert substance that absorbs moisture. It is printed with "Do not eat" as it is not a food substance (sometimes these are found in medication bottles). The good news is that silica gel is non-toxic. However, if your pet eats the permeable plastic packet that contains the beads it can cause vomiting or get stuck in the digestive tract.

YT 2000 Club Member | food Thank you for answering my dog food question. Spud is at the vet now. Wouldn't eat even chicken and rice. You are right and the vet said the same. When a dog is hungry he will eat. I will do what the vet says to feed him. |
