| Yogurt how much is to much??? I give my 1yr old furbaby one spoon of plain yogurt every morning before i leave to work. Is it ok for me to give him that everyday i dont want to give him to much and make him sick or something. It has not affected him in any way meaning he poops normal no vomiting or anything just want to make sure im not giving him to much.

| Nooooo lol i leave him his dry kibbles and water of course. I leave it to him as a treat and it keeps him busy while i sneak out the door he loves it so much im sure by the time i get to 1st floor of my building it's all gone. I just wanted to make sure that one tablespoon a day is not harming him.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | After Ozzie's recent bout of illness, I discovered Yo Baby! yogurt at the grocery store. It has six different cultures in it and is all organic. He gets a tablespoon full or so (he weighs 13.5 pounds) every day as a snack. I think it has helped him. |

| Yogurt and cheese are relatively expensive and less-concentrated protein sources than eggs. You could also boil up some eggs, leave them in the ref. with shells on, and give about 1/4 of one egg cut up into the Yogurt. I'm not sure how long the eggs stay fresh in the ref. after boiling, but I'm had them in there for two weeks and they were still frest. Soooo??? |

If you leave hard boiled eggs in the fridge any longer than this and the salmonella risk starts to rise very quickly. The reason hard boiled eggs dont last as long as raw eggs is that in cooking the eggs, a natural protective chemical layer (produced by the mother hen) is washed off the porous eggshell, allowing germs to enter.

I written several times about Sparky being finicky. I've read about how much better our food is for him than "dog food." I have always given him raw carrots, broccoli, celery, cucumbers, bell peppers, apples, pineapple, and cooked chicken and beef, yogurt and cottage cheese (both non fat). He had gotten to where he'd pick at his dry Merrick's and pieces of Natural Balance roll. So yesterday I tried something I've read about on here. He is 4 months old (will be 5 months the 12th of April), he weighs 7 lbs 10 oz). For breakfast he had about a tsp plain NF yogurt, a few bites of cooked chicken, half of a scrambled egg (cooked in the microwave-no butter), and some apple. Mid day he had about a tablespoon of NF cottage cheese, and a baby carrot. For dinner he had some cooked chicken, about a tbsp mashed potatoes, about four cooked green beans (no seasoning), a few bites of Natural Balance lamb roll, a few bites of apple, and a raw baby carrot. He ate better than he's eaten for days. Was this balanced enough for him? If I feed him our food each day, can it be seasoned and should I give him some kind of vitamin supplement? | |

| Oh, and he can eat the shells from the boiled eggs? What is the benefit from the shells? Is it calcium? |
