That's why I said "according to her." People need to make their own decisions. I've never fed cottage cheese because I don't eat it myself. I and many others use cheese for training treats though. I use it for a jackpot reward. Others feed LOTS of cheese. I prefer meat based treats, and use cheese as a jackpot when I don't have other jackpots prepared. I think she was trying to say that large quantities can cause the calcium/phosphorous imbalance. Now, for a Chi, how much is large? I know that I do not know. But, her caution will cause me to be more vigilant in preparing my meaty jackpots.
I guess we can look at it like good tasting things for us, chocolate in my case. I should only eat it in small quatitites, or it can be very bad for my waistline. Wait, it already has effected my waistline! I too use rice and boiled chicken for sick dogs after a tummy rest, which most vets I've talked to recommend. For really sick dogs, I go to the prescribed diets. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Great things are happening at Yahoo! Groups.
