| You are so right. There are so many products and foods it is hard to choose. I have 5 yorkies, lost one to pancreatitis. Never feed your baby people food. Carrots, boiled breast of chicken, white rice (no seasonings) is all fine. I use a combo of food. I mix ProPlan with Royal Canin both in puppy foods. You will get lots of opinions on this,I am sure. It is a matter of choice really. Good luck! |

| You should never give them milk. It is ok for them to have an OCCASIONAL piece of cheese as a treat and also cottage cheese as a treat, again occasionally. |

| Most of the articles that I've looked up says that giving too many diary products can and does cause Pancrieitous.(sp) Little bits here and there shouldn't be too bad, but each dog varies. Some dogs have more sensitive stomachs the others. It's just a matter of getting to know what your dog can and can not handle.
