She loves the cottage cheese and the massage for that matter and her ears are straight up and strong. She said the extra calcium is good for the puppies while they're developing. |
Oh my..... well we tried the Cottage cheese mixed in their food and .... well I ended up having to completely seperate my 2. They were fighting to eat each others food. I have a 8mo Papillon who was starting to act like a picky eater. I put it in her food too. She LICKED the bowl.
Thank you so much for that suggestion. I have since found out that it is great for their coats too.
BTW, she does love the ear masages too and we have one ear that comes up about a third of the time. She is DEFINITELY in a teething stage though!!!
