| Cottage cheese is very good for them - as an additional part of their diet of course. I bet you could do a search on cottage cheese or other foods here on the forum and find tips on what others do as well! Welcome to TY btw! You are soon to be addicted Can't wait till you get your baby so we can see her!

| Remi loves cottage cheese and yogurt too! He gets one teaspoon of either cottage cheese or yogurt for breakfast and dinner. |

| We were using Cottage Cheese when Autumn and Blaze were eating Kibble. I use to add it to their kibble. It was more of a way for me to try and get Blaze to eat. Now that they are eating raw, I might give them a little bit of cottage cheese in the afternoon as a snack!

| I feed both low fat cottage cheese and plain no sugar yogurt. I tend to give smaller portions of the cottage cheese because of the high sodium content. |

| It is fine to give it but I don't know why a breeder would say to.

| I'm a new yorkie mom...I joined this site for how to tips for my baby. Someone told me that yorkies love cottage cheese and it helps the ears to stand up. Not sure how true it is, Daxter is 5 mos. and still has floppy ears, but he LOVES his treat every evening! |

| Thanks...so glad to find other yorkie parents. They are so finicky and I have found this site to be helpful already. I have not tried taping...yet. I have also read that until they are done teething the ears will stay floppy as they don't feel real well. I will give it some more time before I tape them. My husband thinks he's so cute like he is, the whole ragga muffin look is adorable, but I do want ears up. |

| Bella loooooooooves cottage cheese. I chop up about a table spoon of apple and she gets a heaping teaspoon of cottage cheese about 3 times a week. She will eat all the cottage cheese from around the apples then eat the apples... she is so funny |
