My cavaliers used to get tidbits until we adopted this new policy (after finding out our mix has chronic pancreatitis, and later our male cav had acute.) Now they don't even ask for anything. (Well, except for poor Emma, she still struggles a bit when scrambled eggs are cooking  .)
I hope he adjusts quickly...and he WILL still love getting dog treats just as much!
You are so a wonderful yorkie Mom; keep up the amazing! |
It's my understanding that most dog treats are out, too? So I guess, when it comes time to figure out what will work for him, etc, I'll discuss with vet. He did tell me boiled skinless chicken would be fine (but not right away yet).
But yes, he will be fine! I also wish I had instituted the no people food policy from the get-go. My plan was to. Then I got lazy.
