Hello, This question's answer depends on what prescription diet he is on and for what reason he was prescribed the diet. Most prescription diets need to be fed completely alone for them to work effectively, but some can be supplemented with treats. Your vet can also answer the question since they know why they prescribed the diet. If you resubmit with the information I asked, I'll be happy to let you know if its an absolute no-no or something to double check with your vet first. :) Hope this is helpful! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
