| Can a 12 week old have yogurt? Mya is refusing to eat... she'll eat a few wet pieces of kibble and then she stops. She's maybe had 5 or 6 full pieces all day, and I've been trying to get her to eat hourly. She still is doing ok, lots of energy, and she is chewing on Oliver's bully stick right now - obviously not getting anywhere with it as she's too little. Ollie gets a small teaspoon of plain yogurt on his meals, as he's a picky eater too... but I'm not sure if it's ok to give a little of the yogurt to Mya at this age? With all the bacteria (although I know it's good bacteria) in it, I thought I should ask some of the more knowledgeable people of YT. She must be eating enough as she's still pooping, but it just doesn't seem like enough to me and I'd like to see her eat a little more today. Any thoughts would be so appreciated!

| I'm not sure, but I'm sure someone on here would know. I THINK your lil girl would have gotten some nutrition from the bully stick though. |

| Yeah, she's not getting to chew on it for long though, Oliver keeps stealing it away! He's a tad jealous, lol.

| We have been giving our dogs a little Plain " low fat or no fat" Yogurt every day for years. THe large dog gets 2 tablespoons, and the Yorkie gets just a little dolip....Not sure what age she was when I started, most likely around a year or so. I did give it to the Corso when he was still a pup. Never a problem. |

| I don't think it will do Mya any harm. I give Sophie a small amount of low fat yogurt once in awhile and she loves it. Maybe a tad would stimulate Mya's appetite. If she is not lethargic she may just not be hungry and will eat a little something later when she is. They have very small tummies at her age.

| I have given Pixie Yogurt at about 4 months old she loves it for a treat. I just make sure I get the organic with no aspartime in it or artificial junk.

| It's not organic, I tried that and Oliver wouldn't touch it, but I do make sure it doesn't have any artificial sweetners, it's made with plain old sugar.

| You can also put a lil wet on your finger and let her lick it off, if she really isn't eating. I am sure she will go for the wet dog food though bc it smells and they love smelly things. lol

| Yogurt is okay as long as no allergies to dairy. Better for digestion would be: Nature's Farmacy: Dogzymes. Provides much more good bacteria and enzymes (proteins) that help break down the food. Your dog's body won't have to work as hard to get the nutrients out of the food.

| You might want to get some nutrical for puppies if she isn't eating...... you don't want to have problems with hypoglycemia.... nutrical will help.
