As for "table scraps" I don't like that term. It always sounds like stuff you don't eat on your plate and are going to throw away, like the fat cut off a steak, burnt edges, or leftovers. I know none of us YTers would give our yorkies that. I still give Uni plenty of people food, in the form of lettuce, tomato, cucumber, fruits, etc. She is now on a grain free diet, and has not had a relapse of pancreatitis since the first.
Now about the Texas Toothpicks. I guess you didn't know, but Merrick has had many recalls of their products in recent years. I used to LOVE the TT. The first time I tried them was at the Muttropolis meetup in Newport Beach, remember when we first met? Uni loved them so I bought a few more. They used to last about a week long each. Then I started buying them by the bag instead of by the piece. They looked much darker and only lasted I swear 10 minutes each! I emailed Merrick and asked what's up. They said they haven't changed a thing (yeah right) and here's a free bag.  T hen come to find all the recalls. I haven't gave them since them. Throw them out! I wouldn't even donate them to my shelter, I don't want to make the poor dogs there sick! But as far as I know (or what I was led to believe) the TT's are not high in fat. |
Thanks- I did not know Uni had pancreatitis- Has she had a lot of flare ups? What food do you feed her?
I wouldn’t call what we gave Peanut table scraps- It was more like, cheese, DH would let him lick up sour cream, things like that- It was a little bit at a time, but I guess it all added up-
I never thought the Texas Toothpicks were that high in fat- Peanut has never really ate a whole one so I don’t think it was a concern for me- I don’t know what made him eat that whole on the other night, but that is what set him off- He will never get one of those again!
