That you know of.

Oh, what?

Do you give treats, like commercially made treats that you buy at the kitty cat treat store to tomato?

And sugar and salt.

Everything you need.

We basically say it's sort of the McDonald's diet for cats and dogs.

I didn't even know what churu was until literally two days ago.

Weird.

I have a patient that we had diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease, put it on prednisone.

This is a cat.

And, you know, I had a long conversation about how dietary management and appropriate diet is key for managing this condition long term.

And the cat was doing well and then started vomiting, vomiting, vomiting, vomiting.

We bumped up the drugs, vomiting, vomiting, vomiting.

and i finally said what exactly is this cat eating other than the prescription diet oh i only give him a prescription diet any treats oh yeah every day he gets some churu i was just like what is what is churu but i know it's not coming from the vet clinic so it's probably not appropriate so uh yeah it is uh chicken fat and salt and sugar and that's about it that sounds delicious yeah

Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy.

So we're going to talk about dog treats, though.

Churu is, I mean, it's junk food, but it's not dangerous.

And there was this article, and it basically said, seemingly safe, but not, because it was hinting, dog treats that will send your puppy to the emergency room.

And it was basically a list of...

common treats and sort of chew toy type things that you buy for your dog at the very expensive posh pet supply stores and all the problems with them.
