The best yogurt to give them is Stonyfield Organic Low-Fat Plain Yogurt. It has the most live active cultures of any yogurt and is very good for their digestion as long as you don't give too much. You might have to look for it at your grocery, it usually is not with the regular yogurt. Sometimes it is with the fruits and vegatables or in a separate health section. |
My vet strongly agrees with giving yogurt. Low-fat flavors are okay as long as there is no artificial sweetner. I go between plain and vanilla - depends on what is available. If I can't find Stoneyfield, I will also use Dannon Naturals. My girls get yogurt for breakfast each morning. They get about a tablespoon.
