Toto's vet laughed [Yorkies are her specialty] because she had never had one do that before. Toto doesn't get a bite of anything unless it's approved so she knew what she was eating and that she was getting enough protein without the meat. That's been several years ago but even now, if she leaves anything in her bowl, it's meat!
The only problem food that I had to stop was English peas because of the high sugar content. She began to gain weight.
