does anyone give there yorkie cottage cheese?

[smommyto5]

I was wondering if anyone gives there dog cottage cheese i was told to give my 15 week old cottage cheese.

Yes, I gave Betty Boop cottage cheese when she was around that age just to try and get her to eat. I put a little on top of her food, and it worked. I remember her vet told me I could give her a little of it and also her groomer, who used to train and show Yorkies. I never gave her a lot....just enough to mix with her food and make it smell yummie. However, I changed foods until I found one she liked that really didn't have to be "doctored" up.

Are you having a problem with your baby eating?

A small amount of cottage cheese can be good for them.

May I ask why you were told to do this? Is your puppy having any problems?

That's a fairly innocuous way to give him some extra calcium. AND - they regard it as a treat, so it's a pretty good way to get him to take his "medicine".

When Sapphire has an upset tummy, I give her some white rice. Depending on when she starts, I give a little in the morning then a little at night until her poo firms up. lol

I gave her cottage cheese once as the "frosting" on her little home made birthday cake. Her and her three cousins (now she has four cousins) each had a piece.

If his ears have already been up, they'll probably come back up again. They'll go up and down a lot while the puppy is teething. Keep the hair on the ears clipped short so the muscle/cartilege can be trained to hold the ear up. Also, massage the ears - the puppies love this and it stimulates the muscles to hole the ear erect.

Tobey LOVES cottage cheese. I give him a spoonful every so often as a treat and he just gobbles it up!

Bella loves cottage cheese. It's a delicious treat when I want to spoil her.

I have given Twinkie cottage cheese and of course she hates it! Very picky eater...

[Princes mom]

Prince loves cottage cheese, but only gets it once in a while as a treat.

I give Kacee a teaspoon every once in a while. She loves it, too...

So - cottage cheese is not considered 'dairy'? I thought they were not supposed have milk etc? Is cottage cheese good for them - should I be giving it to Mr.Darcy for nutritional purposes - if so how much and how often?

Never cottage cheese yet but I just bits of plain American cheese to give Jackson for special times, i.e. bathtime, clean-up, teeth brushing, learning a new trick, etc. He *loves* cheese! He loves yogurt too. I started getting him Dannon vanilla no fat yogurt that he really loves as well.
