Kefir??? Hello everyone!! has anyone ever fed their dog homemade kefir?.. I would think it would be so healthy for her but I deff dont want it to hurt my baby..... please let me know if anyone knows anything about this.... THANKS!!:dogsm3: |
Yes. I know a few dogs that get it regularly..... Start slow to be sure she won't get diarrhea or anything from it. |
Yeah! Homemade kefir is great. Start slow, and make it 'plain' - don't flavor it. Kefir has lots of probiotics that encourage the intestines to make healthy bacteria to fight off any germs and balance the digestive tract. |
oh yea! that's great because I make it for myself and I know how healthy it is so I get to share that with my new lillt pupster.. THANK YOU:D |
No problem!! Nutrition is my 'thing' :D |
Oh, cool! then can I ask you what you feed your pups? And how often and how much each time... I'm trying only a 1/4 cup because my pups stomach seems to blow up everytime she eats a meal... we usually just give her dry food but she doesn't seem eat too much of it and I always feel like she's so hungry.. so we made her chicken and carrots last night and she LOVED it but her stomach blew up. And this morning I just gave her a 1/4 cup of kefir and it blew up again... Idk why this happens and it's really frustrating....... please let me know if you know anything about why this happens.. THANK YOU!!! |
How old is your dog? How much does she weigh? I think its fine to divide their daily feed into 3 meals a day if you are experiencing bloat issues. She is probably swallowing a lot of air. You might be overfeeding her! 1/4 cup is a lot. I usually do a few tsp of yogurt or kefir. I am a raw feeder. I don't know if you have heard of BARF feeding....But I am a committed BARFER! LOL I use a prepackaged raw feed by Primal Brand which is completely balanced. My Yorkie mix, Ella Bean weighs 2.7 lbs and she eats only a little over 2 oz. a day, to give you an idea. I have to run & take my Ella Bean to the vet right now for her post-spay checkup...but I will PM you later! |
Oh boy.. that's probably what my little girl weighs.. she's 4 months old.. I guess I better cut down her feeding.. we go to the vet today so she will get weighed. 2 oz! holy moly.. okay I guess I was feeding way too much!.. my poor baby!! yikess.. I've never heard of BARF feeding... i'll have to look into it.. THANK YOU so much! |
