Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Yogurt Feeders When you give your babies yogurt, how much do you give and how often. I think I read where someone gives it everyday. I am assuming it goes by age and weight so I have Bella 2 yrs and 5.5 pounds and Diggy 14 weeks Tuesday, he is about 2.5-3 pounds. I give the Yo Baby

| Yogurt is breakfast for my girls everyday. I don't have a specific age/weight ratio, I just give them both a heaping tablespoon mixed with their Missing Link. I use the Stoneyfield Organic either plain or vanilla.

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | hmmm well they both absolutely love it so I think I am going to try and give it daily, maybe before breakfast. DO yours turn into a total mess when they eat it?? DIggy seriously had it between his eyes and Bella had it dripping off her chin and all over the sides of her face....Is there a neat way of doing this and Im missing it??

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Definitely go by weight. Your babies should be able to share a single container for at least 2-3 days! (Since you're using Yo Baby!) Oz gets his once a day and a container lasts 2 days. (He is 14 pounds.) And a neat way? Yeah, open their mouths and insert it. Otherwise, if you find a neat way, let me know. Have a damp rag ready when they're done if not! |

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | Piggy babies Okay then I did it right....they ate about 1/3 of the container together. SO I am on pace for 3 days! Im so smart.....lol Actually the mess was getting bad and I have 2 spots of yogurt on my pj now I learned real fast have wet paper towel on hand

| I just started feeding mine a little less than a tablespoon w/ missing link in the morning as well. He must be a neat-freak, b/c there isn't a drop of yogurt ANYwhere when he's finished, AND the bowl is licked clean

| Yeah, I guess shorter than most. He still has plenty of hair on his face to get in the water tho....

| Layla gets about 1 tsp to 1.5 tsps of yogurt with some berries (i buy them frozen and defrost a few and it will last a week) every day for breakfast... some times she wont' eat it all and the rest becomes an afternoon snack! |

I usually get the vanilla/banana pack and he does OK with both. Yeah, that wet towel is a prerequisite -- unless you're Kobi, I guess! | |

Sissy and Angel don't have puppy cuts (though Angel is still a puppy at 7 months). I use little dishes for their yogurt that are meant for wasabit and sushi sauces (cause they are a great small size) and there isn't a drop of yogurt left on their dish or on them. They lap it right up!!!!!!!!!!

Donating YT 500 Club Member | I don't think they're bad, I just don't think they are as easily digestible -- especially for these guys. And considering that my tank of a dog had trouble with them, I'm thinking it would be worse for the guys who are less than half his size, which I think are most of the dogs on YorkieTalk. And I guess I'm jealous of all the "neat" Yorkies. Ozzie is Mr. Mess personfied! |
