Yogurt

[meglaulanmar]

ok... my 2yr old feed teeny tiny Gigi Yogurt off his spoon night before last. She loved it! So I gave her some that night and again last night...w/ cottage cheese. It is organic baby cereal and yogurt combo...

Is this okay?

She is like a different dog! Running around.... draging mark by his socks...lol... did she just come to her own... or maybe that balanced her dig. track? weird....

Yoqurt is very good for them cottage cheese also

I give Lucy cottage cheese all the time : For some reason she doesn't care for yogurt...

If you are doing yoghurt do not do cottage cheese at the same feeding. Yoghurt is a Probiotic and is the VERY best thing you can feed your pet but in moderation

The vet said lowfat vanilla yogurt, about a teaspoon is about all they should have of it a day..

My Chloe has a stomache issue and she is on yougart every day it keeps her regular. Vet said it has good bacteria.

Live natural yogurt is great for them, it contains fantastic good bacteria and probiotics.

Are you sure your vet said vanilla? Flavored yogurts have more sugar in them or are sweetened with artificial sugars. Sugar is very bad for dogs and the artificial sweeteners are toxic to them. I've always been told to give them only plain yogurt.

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.

I agree, and this is what I do also. I give mine 1 tsp. every other day and sometimes put a little fresh berries in it. Jake doesn't care for yogurt much, but Jackson loves it.

For some reason, I am always confusing vanilla and plain! I always have to double check myself at the store to make sure I have plain and not vanilla! You'd think I could just read the container, LOL.
