| Cheez Whiz? Since bringing Fabian (now six months) home, we've been feeding him only Fromm's Adult Gold and organic chicken. Yesterday at his obedience class at a highly-rated school, one of the instructors took a liking to him and spontaneously gave him Kong with Cheez Whiz in it. 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..... |

| We should be over-protective moms. I had the same situation in my vet's office. One of the staff came in to weigh & take my Muffin's temp and the first thing she did was open a drawer behind her and give my Muffin something that she ate. It was a Greenie! I was so stunned when I saw the pkg in the open drawer that I had to bite my tongue to give her a piece of my mind. Now I want to change vets because I don't want them feeding her crap when my back is turned. Sometimes they take the dogs into onother room to give them shots, stating that they need someone other than the owner holding them. I think they don't want to get bit coming at mom/dad with their hands out to reach them for their shot. Anyway... I don't feed my pups crap and Greemies and Cheezwhiz fits that category. So... I agree with you. We need to stand our ground when it comes to the health of our dogs... and WHY would someone who is supposed to be a professional do something like that!?!! |

| You're not being over protective. If I couldn't stop it before it was given to my dog I would tell them the dog is on a strict diet and not allowed to eat anything out of the ordinary. How do ppl do things like that?

I do understand the notion though and why you'd be annoyed. But 99% of dogs aren't going to have a bad reaction to a little squirt of Cheeze Whiz. Honestly, it's a common treat used during training classes such as agility because it's fast, easy, doesn't make a mess, the dog gets a high value reward and then you get back to your next obstacle. I only give high value treats during special times like when he goes to the groomer or vets or things like that since he hates it soo much so I like to give him so he associates these things with something REALLY good.

| No diarrhea. Instead, he was backed up for a few days. |

| Pumpkin is the miracle food it fixes diarrhea and constipation.

| 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!
