| Honey, Cottage Cheese? Hey everyone, Our breeder told us to give Piper a bit of honey twice a day. I was doing well with it and now I haven't been doing it as much. I switch between honey and vitamin gel, like Nutri Cal. I know it's to ward off hypo...how long should I be giving her honey? She's almost 12 weeks now. Cottage Cheese ~ Our breeder also told us to give her cottage cheese as it makes her coat more shiny. Anyone heard of this? He gives all of his pups and dogs CC throughout their lives and I figure I'll give it to Piper as often as I can but I know she'll be fine without it too. |

| Mine love cottage cheese, I usually alternate between giving cc and yogurt in their food. I don't think you should give honey because it has bacteria in it that wouldn't be good for a pup. I'm sure if you only give a few licks it would be fine but I would stick with Nutrical. They really don't need the Nutrical if they are eating 4-5 times a day. How much does your baby weigh?? If she is tiny then you might want to feed more often and do a night feeding. I only used Nutrical with mine when they didn't seem to want to eat and I used it to stimulate their appetites. Good Luck with Piper, love the name!!
