Food?

Too much fatty people food can make her sick, and cause pancreatitis further down the road. Stuff like raw carrots are a better snack, little tidbits of stuff like ham and hotdogs are okay as treats, but not a lot, and not every day.

Exactly. The Vets see a lot of pancreatitis at Thanksgiving due to dogs receiving more than their fair share of ham. Also the high salt along with the fat is thought to promote the occurance of pancreatitis.

As Karen points out a few trimmings won't hurt. Mine end up getting a few snibbles of Turkey at Thanksgiving, along with their main stay dry puppy food.
