| What Brand of Yogurt has has most Live Cultures? I was just wondering what brand specifically has the most live cultures. I would like to get 1-2 brands and see which one my furbabies prefer. I've read in so many sites how yogurt is good for your dog's digestive system. I don't know if Cookie being so finicky will like the plain/bland yogurt but I dont want to give him the super sweet stuff either. I would love to hear different opinions and I will see what I find here so I can buy a few. I After seeing the new show " Adventures in Doggie Daycare" they give a tiny amount of yogurt to each dog before they go home. The daycare owner gets humangrade regular yogurt and puts about 1tsp into one of those tiny,tiny 1 oz cups and freezes them. I bought some yogurt and did the same but I put it in caps,like the 2liter soda bottle plastic caps. I don't leave it on the floor ,I hold in my hand while they eat it all 1tsp Genie Cookie,Lola & Angel We've been egged! |

| Stonyfield Organic is one of the best! That's what we give Miko and Emma Vanilla flavor is their fave, and they are both picky. Also, they like peach. The probiotics and prebiotics in their yogurt is extremely healthy for them

| Stoneyfield Organic definitely. Most brands will list only one culture - Stoneyfield lists 6 of them!!! They are both live and active, which I believe makes a difference as well.

| Are there any flavors of yogurt that they cannot eat? Also should it be lowfat/nofat or doesn't it matter. Annie won't eat her cottage cheese anymore so I am going to try yogurt Kasey

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | We give Magic yogurt for her sensitive stomach and it works wonders...It really helps her to stay stable and under control. She loves it when we give it to her and we just do the plain yogurt although I am thinking of trying out the vanilla kind with her...We buy the cheap Walmart kind and it has great live cultures in it, just as much as some of the others!!

| Please make sure if you are giving non-fat yogurt that there are no artificial sweeteners in it!! Full-fat and low-fat are probably the best. Fruit and vanilla flavors are okay as long as no artificial sweeteners are used. Mine prefer the vanilla, but will eat the plain as well.
