I buy those too for Sam from time to time but since this had pumpkin, I wanted to try it. I also get him those sweet potato puffs, we share those!!

That's a great idea. I will try those. I feel bad because my Trixie hasn't had any treats because I'm so afraid of the pancreatitis coming back. It's only been about 3 weeks. Those sound great and reasonable

What are they like? A soft treat? Biscuit type?

careful with the pancreas as that controls the insulin in body which can trigger diabetes so i would not do any sugary treats. Stick to the dog food only with any dogs that had pancreatitis maybe a little organic chicken is all but not until you have a year under your belt as they can relapse very easily

too many ingredients for my allergy baby oats, barley but looks good for non-allergy dogs

I usually break off a petal of this and give it to my girl. On occassion, I'd give her half the little biscuit at a time. The little bag is conveniently portable though I still usually put their treats into a tiny zip loc and/or small candy tin for portability.

My girl has only had the blueberry kind (I think that's the one with pumpkin?) while the cranberry variety is with apple, if I didn't confuse that. And it's CA$1.99.

here are some from grandma lucy and the ingredients are all organic

Grandma Lucy's Diner

but fat content seems high on these though

Its a small biscuit type. I cannot break them but I hold it, Sam bites half of it then a few minutes later he will eat the other half.

What flavor do you want to try and I will send you some??

Aww, I am so lucky that Sam doesnt appear to have an allergy for anything. I hate when the babies are allergic to something.

Holy smokes wonderwoman, how do you break off a petal?!?!?! I guess I am W-E-A-K!!!! I saw the blueberry kind, I wish they had a sweet potato.

Did you want another variety? I can send ya some.

ROFL. I think either you must be VERY weak or you have one very stale package of cookie, dear. It's generally the "crispy" kind of biscuit so it seems to break okay if you aim to break the petal part.

I've been meaning to try the cranberry kind too, however, we're still working on finishing off the blueberry flavour! I get addicted to buying her treats but I can't feed it to her quickly enough as I use a different "real dog kibble" as a "treat" for her also. And she gets various dried organ meats. But Fruitables and the Zuke stuff are so far the only "blended" ingredient treats I've gotten for her. Fruitables are not hard to find in retail stores here.

Ah, thanks for the offer, but mine are funny about the biscuit type treats. They just won't eat them. Yet they love the hard chicken jerky tenders. Go figure? These sound good and nutritious though!

Only in late stages of chronic pancreatitis is the pancreas so damaged that it will stop making adequate insulin. If this happens, then the dog (or person) will have diabetes. Then sugar and carb intake needs to be managed properly. But sugary treats will not trigger diabetes or bother the pancreatitis. Too many calories leading to obesity can contribute to diabetes, but not sugar itself or occasional sweet treats. Rich, fatty desserts or food are the problem. I have chronic pancreatitis (from pancreas divisium and gallstone scar buildup) and would be lost without my sweets & fruits since I have to forgo fatty things.

Great Idea I will have to try the baby grandules. Lexi might like them. I read all these treats everyone buys for their furbabies and I try so many of them but Lexi is the most finky picky eater I think I have ever had. She does like those yogurt vanilla chips for doggies you can buy at the pet stores. Vita something I think. Thanks again for more ideas...there goes the paycheck LOL

Lol! How do you break off a petal??! Mimi will only eat biscuit snacks if I break it off for her...I have such a hard time breaking these. I think all the different fruit flavors has pumpkin in it.

If only my fingers were prettier, I'd make a youtube video of breaking off petal-sized pieces just for the two of you.
