can yorkies eat yogurt since i give Sassy dry dog food i was thinking about givng her a spoonful of yogurt wnd put her missing link in it is this a good or bad idea and is this the correct amount. She is 4 months old and weighs 3lb 6ozs. I assume you should give them no fat plain. |
Yes -- I give mine yogurt occasionally, but they like cottage cheese better. It does not need to be low fat unless you are trying to get them to lose weight. That is a great way to give the Missing Link. I just bought some myself. I am going to start mine on 1/4 teaspoon a day for 2 weeks and then move to 1/2 teaspoon. Mine are very small and I am not sure about going to the full teaspoon -- will have to see how it goes. |
Yoqurt is good for their digestive system. Plain is probably the best to give but I have given mine some with fruit in it and vanilla too. The amount you are giving sounds fine |
Yogurt is good for them . . . I give them the yogurt drops once a day. I do add cottage cheese to their morning meals - about 1 T. |
Yes yogurt is good for them, I give small amounts to my Yorkies and egg, Cottage cheese, Boiled chicken and rice. Along with their reg dry food. |

Gracie gets a bedtime snack of Yoplait regular vanilla yogurt. She goes crazy over it, and it really prevents diarrhea. One little carton lasts us 3-4 days. I give her 1/4-1/3. Just don't give your baby yogurt with artificial sweetener. |

Mine get the same. I mix veg with the chicken/rice, but they leave the kibble one side :rolleyes: |
My girls get 1/2 teaspoon of plain yogurt every other day.....and it has helped alot with Magic's tummy issues. They both look forward to their "treat"! |
Yogurt is excellent, just make sure it says live culture. If you buy the vanilla or plain, you can even add a few strawberrys or blueberrys to it. Cottage cheese is also good. If you have never given these things to your dog, then I suggest just try one thing at a time for a few day just in case it has an allergy to it. |
2 Attachment(s) DH eats a lot of yogurt and he just throws the container down when he is done and lets the dogs lick it. here is maggie enjoying licking the bottom of one :) |
Thanks for your replies I gave her some and she off course loved it. It was an easy way to get her missing link into her |
Thanks for the info - Max would love yogurt and he's getting pickier and pickier. He doesn't eat more than 2 or 3 bites of breakfast. I read somewhere they're not supposed to have blueberries. Is that true, because if not, they're so healthy in general. (They're $3.99 for a small box in NYC in thre winter!) Judy |
Sissy gets yogurt every day for breakfast. She wouldn't touch plain though. She gets the Danon Activia Vanilla, 1/4 of a container with her missing link mixed in. You'll need to start very slowly with the missing link and at under 4 lbs, the most they should get is 1/4 tsp daily. Start with 1/8 or less and then gradually increase. Good luck!! P.S. Don't ever use low-fat yogurt if it has artificial sweetner in it..... |

Wyatt does the same thing. Here are a few of him when he was just a baby doing the exact same thing. Too cute. |

But, I see that it's a light yogurt, which means it's got artificial sweeteners in it:( I read on here somewhere that artificial low cal sweeteners are very toxic to our pets:eek: |

Grayson loves yogurt just as much as I do!! My cats like it too! |
Deserre waits for me to finish mine so she can lick the bottom! ( I leave her extra) |
What is this "missing link" everyone is mentioning?? We've given the yogurt drops to our dogs before and they love them! I took a look at the ingredients and it all looks good to me. The ones we fed are made in Germany. |
yogurt is fine but your yorkie has to be able to tolerate dairy prprodicts, apparently not all yorkies can (sccording to my vet) so be careful ask your vet |
What are yogurt drops? |
My yorkies get yogurt everytime I eat it.. been doing this for years and they love it!! |

The yogurt that is not plain usually is very high in sugar. I would be really careful about giving any dog something that high in sugar. Bad for teeth and the rest of the body. |

do you people seriously give people food to a dog? isnt this really bad for them? honest question |

Honest answer:) Yes we are a little Yorkie crazy here; infact, we rarely say dog:eek: Our pups are the loves of our lives and we care very deeply for them here on YT...hence the reason us people joined a YORKIE forum! If you read the whole thread and the many other threads on here or a simple google search you will see that it is actually very good for them. There are many "people food"(s) that are very good for your furbaby, and if you stick around and read some more, ask a few questions etc., you too can learn how to seriously give your PUP some people food! Welcome to YT and how about some pics? |
