If I can find them and have the extra time I use stripped chicken backs instead of breasts. I let the backs simmer for 2 - 3 hours strain the broth - it will have a lot of fat on the top so I refrigerate it over night to let all the fat rise to the top. Remove the fat and freeze in ice cube trays as Jenny recommended. | |

| I wash the sweet potato 1st, then bake it for about an hr on 400. Poke it w/a fork & it should slide in easily, if not, bake for another 5 mins or so, checking/ poking it every min. You can also slice it in half & it will bake faster. 1 will last a long time, I keep it in the fridge for 1 week. I give them about a teaspoonful. It also helps bulk things up since it's packed w/fiber. They also like it when I use it as a topper for kibble. They LOVE it!

| Wow, these are some great ideas. The vet originally had me boil chicken breasts for him and I weaned him off. He would be in heaven if that's what I fed him but I thought a continued diet of that wouldn't be good. he's off the biljac as of today! He doesn't love it anyways. I thought the crunch was better for his teeth. Thanks so much for all the suggestions! |

| I pot about half a breast in a bag for her and it will last all week as treats. You only need to give her a few small pieces at a time... mines 6lb too and she would eat the whole thing if i let her...she loves the broth warmed and poured over her kibble |

| Yes, thanks I did receive the notification. It is a different treat then the low fat treats I feed. But thanks for letting me know.

| My Barney had pancreatitis twice -- at age 5 and at age 10 -- both times after consuming a can of wellness dog food. He is on a home cooked low fat diet for life that has been specially made for him. He is almost 13 now. The board certified veterinary nutritionist that I consult with has advised me to not feed bully sticks to my dogs especially to the dog who has a history of pancreatitis. He has limited snacks - mostly fresh vegetables. However, I did not feed him anything but his prescribed diet for many months following his acute pancreatitis. Pancreatitis can smolder for a very long time and it is unknown what all the triggers are. The dog food I use when I am not home cooking is Royal Canin Gastrointestinal LowFat which I obtain from my veterinarian or from Petsmart's Banfield Hospital (with a note from my vet).

| I would like to find a new healthy food for him. Is the royal canine a hard dog food? I would like something crunchy for his teeth. |

My George, who was recently hospitalized with pancreatitis, is on RC Gastro LowFat and he loves it. The specialist recommended it for him. He loves tiny pieces of sweet potatoes as treats.
