Don't You Hate It When....

... your dog makes you into a liar?

Kivi Tarro, raw fed since 8 weeks old, has decided that he would FAR rather eat the Pedigree Little Champions that visiting Alex gets than his lovingly prepared and personally researched mix of raw mince, mashed vegies and cottage cheese. "Oh, my dog has very high food standards as he eats raw." I am fond of saying airily, "Kivi would no doubt choose raw if he had the choice." Well, seems Kivi would no doubt choose whatever Alex is having if he had the choice. No WAY will I accept that he likes sachets of beef and macaroni in gravy better than my raw mix. He just wants what Alex has got. Don't argue with me! He would happily scoff his raw if Alex wasn't here. :D

To make me feel a little better, Alex would dearly like to eat Kivi's raw. He's not allowed because apparently he has pancreatitis, but he's pretty keen on it. And Kivi ran off with his fish last night without even bothering to hang around to see what Alex was getting. So the diet I am thoroughly emotionally attached to is still holding its own, just.

how funny, I guess a change is as good as a holiday as they say!!

I would have thought a dog with pancreatitis would have been better off on a raw diet instead of the processed stuff?? Not that Id no Im only surmising, it just makes sense to me!

My dog isn't a big kibble eater, but when we go to my brother's house they usually have a big bowl of chum or Pal out for their dogs, and he loves it I figure it's like McDonalds for dogs

Kivi Tarro how dare you make mumsie a liar!!!

I told the Vet Asher would have no problem taking his antibiotics. No a problem at all. Down the hatch. Done

This morning I resorted to crushing up the tablet, squishing it into a piece of cheese, then wrapping the cheese in roast chicken.

Guess who wouldnt eat it?

They are funny creatures. We think we know them so well

Amypie Dog Macdonalds is a cracker!!!

i think the diet for dogs with pancreatitis needs to have very little fat so maybe that's why they wouldn't do well on raw

I dunno about the pancreatitis diet. Apparently he can have cooked mince, just nothing raw and no bones. I just do what I'm told.

Huskyheaven, what you need is a little Pecks Paste. Penny hated her pain killers and wouldn't touch her entire meal if she suspected those pills were in it. But smoosh it into some Pecks fish paste or some pate and she couldn't care less as long as I hurried up and let her have her special yummy pre-breakfast treat.

I call all that Pedigree stuff junk food, but I'm such a raw snob. I swear, though, Alex's poos smell the same as what I put in his food bowl!

My foxy has pancreatitis and I make all her food - boiled chicken breast, boiled mince that is then

squeezed on kitchen paper, veggies, tiny amount of rice, tuna in water that sort of thing.

As little fat as possible. I have kibbles as a standby and for treats (some low residue formula from

the vet - forget the name of it)

She would eat anything though.

Pancreatitis is horrible, Callie was in the vets for days - I wouldnt risk feeding pedigree little champions unless

I had asked the vet first??

I can only assume they have checked with their vet about the Little Champions stuff. They seem to know what he can and can't have. Seems weird to me, but what do I know. Penny was once diagnosed as having pancreatitis and the vet gave her some bland canned food for a few days and then she was all good. Not sure what that was about. I question whether it was pancreatitis at all, but again, what do I know.
