How much cottage cheese can you give them? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Just wondering how much cottage cheese can you give them or is it even good for them? My little ones ears have dropped so my groomer suggested to give her some cottage cheese or yogurt for extra calcium.

Is that a tsp a day or each feeding per day?

Not an expert here by any means, but I know that my vet told me a teaspoon twice a day is okay for when she had to be on a bland diet for sensitive stomach issues.

Not sure if the same would apply for in general or not.

Cottage cheese does not provide the immediate calcium inducing affect that one might think. The best thing to do would be to administer a calcium supplement/vitamin. Not knowing how big your pup is, I recommend that you contact your vet for the correct dosage. Scrambled eggs are also a better source of calcium.
