As for the cottage cheese, it's not that it's bad for dogs. It's that a lot of dogs are lactose intolerant and cottage cheese can still cause an issue with it even if it happens more so with other dairy products. If the intestines flare up, the pancreas can flare up. There is just absolutely no reason to risk it. |
I believe eagerness to please and show affection toward dogs leads people to feed them things that do them harm. Love your dog by not feeding her anything but the prescription dog food. Instead of food, distract her and yourself with giving non-food related attention: belly and back rubs, hugs, trick training, walks, games of fetch.
My 85-pound Airedale ate the same thing for breakfast and dinner every single day for 19 years. No treats, no scraps. She was very happy and healthy and never begged. It can be done.
