What Brand of Yogurt has has most Live Cultures? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Cookie2 · 04-10-2007, 04:29 PM

I was just wondering what brand specifically has the most live cultures. I would like to get 1-2 brands and see which one my furbabies prefer. I've read in so many sites how yogurt is good for your dog's digestive system. I don't know if Cookie being so finicky will like the plain/bland yogurt but I dont want to give him the super sweet stuff either.
I would love to hear different opinions and I will see what I find here so I can buy a few. I After seeing the new show " Adventures in Doggie Daycare" they give a tiny amount of yogurt to each dog before they go home. The daycare owner gets humangrade regular yogurt and puts about 1tsp into one of those tiny,tiny 1 oz cups and freezes them. I bought some yogurt and did the same but I put it in caps,like the 2liter soda bottle plastic caps. I don't leave it on the floor ,I hold in my hand while they eat it all 1tsp

Stonyfield Organic is one of the best! That's what we give Miko and Emma

Vanilla flavor is their fave, and they are both picky. Also, they like peach. The probiotics and prebiotics in their yogurt is extremely healthy for them

You cant count live cultures.

LuvMySissy · 04-10-2007, 05:18 PM

Stoneyfield Organic definitely. Most brands will list only one culture - Stoneyfield lists 6 of them!!! They are both live and active, which I believe makes a difference as well.

Are there any flavors of yogurt
that they cannot eat?
Also should it be lowfat/nofat
or doesn't it matter. Annie won't
eat her cottage cheese anymore
so I am going to try yogurt

I would say nonfat/lowfat is best...

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 04-10-2007, 05:46 PM

We give Magic yogurt for her sensitive stomach and it works wonders...It really helps her to stay stable and under control. She loves it when we give it to her and we just do the plain yogurt although I am thinking of trying out the vanilla kind with her...We buy the cheap Walmart kind and it has great live cultures in it, just as much as some of the others!!

Cookie2 · 04-10-2007, 07:19 PM

I will look for the Stoneyfield Organic vanilla and peach at Walmart.
Thanks!!! If it's a little sweet and flavor like vanilla or peach. I'm sure they will like it.

Ok, i honestly didnt realize that yogurt was even good for dogs. I know Piper likes eating some of mine when i eat it in the morning. Its yoplait no fat cherry yogurt, and she doesnt eat much. Kinda makes me happy that im giving her something thats good for her stomach

chachi · 04-14-2007, 12:42 PM

I given mine Dannon La Creme vanilla

LuvMySissy · 04-14-2007, 04:02 PM

Please make sure if you are giving non-fat yogurt that there are no artificial sweeteners in it!! Full-fat and low-fat are probably the best. Fruit and vanilla flavors are okay as long as no artificial sweeteners are used. Mine prefer the vanilla, but will eat the plain as well.

Yorkieluv · 04-14-2007, 04:27 PM

LuvMySissy makes a great point...Artificial sweeteners are very bad!

marcerella02 · 04-14-2007, 05:05 PM

we feed layla Activa in vanilla flavour.. they had this natural flavored but it said it was sweetened.. when i looked at the ingredients the "natural" flavour had more ingredients than the vanilla.. so i got the vanilla

question.. hwo much does everyone give them?

LuvMySissy · 04-14-2007, 05:06 PM

My girls get yogurt as their breakfast with Missing Link. They each get about a heaping tablespoon....

Morkie4 · 04-14-2007, 05:20 PM
