I'd tell that clueless instructor that pancreatitis and IBS are serious, even deadly illnesses and fatty type foods can bring it on in Yorkies and no doubt other dogs! Anyone who has sat through the night at the Emergency Vet Clinic with their dehydrated, very ill toy dog after bouts of bloody diarrhea and vomiting from a "dog treat' thoughtlessly given without thought of some dogs' predisposition to IBS/pancreatic/liver problems, knows what I am talking about.
Please, please, please don't feed others' dogs until you know if they can tolerate your 'treat', vets, instructors, family and friends and others!!!!! It's not always a kindness in the long run!
