Question
Hi there, My question is can I give my West Highland Terrier-Bichon Frise mix the left over tenderloins that was not eaten for dinner?

Answer
Personally, I wouldn't. The dog will start expecting better "goodies" than what is in his food bowl every day and may become a picky eater. Also, doing this repeatedly will make him too fat over time, and it could trigger a bout of pancreatitis, which can be a life-threatening illness.

Put the leftovers in the fridge and cook them up for breakfast or lunch tomorrow. (They would be great in rice or soup or scrambled eggs!)
