She proudly announced that she keeps a can in her car because "it lasts forever". (Right, because its not actually real food, lady!) Of course, he ate it up before I could reach the Kong.
While I think her heart was in the right place, I was really grossed by the entire situation. We certainly don't plan to feed it to him again. We'll also ask them not to feed him again. I'm just so surprised that someone would just feed someone else's dog without asking: he could have had dietary issues she didn't know about.
Am I just being an over-protective Yorkie mom? My husband had no problem with her doing that..... |
Yikes! The first two ingredients in Cheese Whiz are whey and milk (I just looked it up). Since dogs are generally lactose intolerant, this could lead to diarrhea. I am so tired of other people giving dogs unauthorized treats. THEY don't have to deal with the aftermath, the owners do. I would give the obedience instructor a piece of my mind. Their heart is NOT in the right place if they are trying to please a dog in the short run and send it home with diarrhea.
