But, I know the fact that I never had a problem doesnt mean I wont in the future so I certainly will head this advice as I I wouldnt want to do anything to hurt my dogs. My Mom will listen also as she wouldnt do anything to hurt them either. Thanks for the info. |
There are lots of people foods they can have though. Can your mom boil some chicken breast (no seasonisngs) and give pieces of that? Only the light meat, no skin or fat?
I had said that sometimes pork is okay for dogs because I don't think there are any studies that have come to another conclusion. Usually the pork that is used in dog food is liver because it is mostly connective tissue and people can't digest it...yummy. I suppose some people do use lean pork when they homecook for their dogs. It is just fine to do scientifically speaking but I would never do that with a Yorkie. The risks seem way too high.
