... thanks for the link and the input.

Heads up, though, chicken isn't used much around here. The little dog (the JRT) is deathly allergic to chicken in any form - we can't even give her treats that use poultry fat as a binding agent. We either make dog food for her, or go to Tractor Supply to buy "Blue" lamb, venison, or salmon mixes (no poultry products).

You'd be amazed how hard it is to find dog foods that have no poultry in them, in some shape or form.

So, if I give Merle anything with chicken, I have to be very sure the Squish can't possibly get into it.

The butter or bacon grease should be good, though.

Thanks again,

M
