I understand that Cesar or Pedigree(?) may not be the most healthy option. What else can I hide the crushed pill in? plain yogurt? mashed carrot, yam?
If cheese, a dairy is a no-no because of high-sodium, would cottage cheese be okay?
I know some yogurts have high froctose corn syrup and that grosses me out enough I stay away from it. I don't think it belongs in yogurt...juices, ok...but yogurt?! I buy organic yogurt for myself, which doesn't have HFCS. The kind I buy, Stonyfield, has prebiotics in it, I believe. Are prebiotics OK for a dog? |
I would say plain yogurt or mashed carrot or yam would be fine if your dog likes those. Plain yogurt is all I have ever given; no flavored yogurt so no sweetners like HFCS. Stonyfield yogurt is fine as long as it is the plain and not flavored.
Yes, probiotics are good for a dog; just like they are for you.
I have given Lucy cottage cheese and she does fine with it; some dogs (like Ringo) don't do so well with dairy.
