S&C's is a very high fat food and a higher protein food. Both fat and protein can trigger pancreatitis, particularly in predisposed breeds like yorkies. So personally I would not use it.

He was so sick for the first two years of his life, but THK literally cured him!
I also agree talking to a nutritionist is probably best...as long as I could find one that wasn't anti-raw.  |
I don't know of any boarded nutritionist that would recommend feeding this to an MVD dog. It is high protein, possibly the wrong type of protein, high fat (liver compromised dog don't always have the best pancreases and intestines), and bc it is raw it woudn't be recommended for a liver compromised dog since these dogs are assumed to ave compromised immune systems.
