I just hope everyone doesn't over generalize. Only you know how much of the product you used, but tartar is such a problem with yorkies, and I hate to see a good product vilified, if there is indeed no problem. I think it's great that you told the company, but I hope people are careful about what they pass as facts. I have long thought that raw was not the best choice for small breed dogs, and I believe that this should be looked at more closely, but I don't think anyone can generalize much from this. Best of luck with Lacy. |
I tend to agree. I bet Lacy's diet is the culprit rather than Petzlife. As I said, we have a little Maltese on another forum who had high triglycerides and fat deposits behind the eyes from Innova Evo. We have a vet tech who is also a member and she said they had seen several cases of high triglycerides in dogs on the high fat, high protein diets like Evo.
It will be interesting to see if the low fat homemade diet makes a difference. It did with the little Maltese, Quincy. All his bloodwork was completely normal after a change in diet.
BTW, Quincy's mom was and still is using Petzlife.
