    Yogurt, do you feed it?

    Yogurt, do you feed it?
    I have noticed that since I started giving my Shih Tzu organic whole milk yogurt that he has had normal stools and he is also on Harvest Baked lamb by authority and he also gets organic extra virgin cold pressed olive oil with his Kibble.

    My dogs love yogurt and I do give them dollops in their food when I think of it--I do know it is good for their digestive system.  And I love it, especially the pina colada.

    I try to give a couple of tablespoons a day, for breakfast.  Sometimes cottage cheese, but usually yogurt.

    Ruby gets a kong each day with yogurt in it, sometimes frozen, sometimes not, depending on how "mouthy" she is (teething!!).  Sometimes, for variety, she'll get cottage cheese instead.

    I used to - but I stopped because I was worried about excessive Calcium.  Now I just use an acidophilus supplement.

    We had a Dobe who had chronic bile spitup every morning - presumably from excessive stomach acids and no food in his stomach to absorb.  Yogurt before bed resolved the problem.  Easier solution than a nightly pepcid pill and believed to aid in digestion, so that's why yogurt was the option of choice.

    I feed mine yogurt when they are on antibiotics but don't do it any other time.  I think my dogs might be dairy sensitive, as it gives them very soft stool.  Its too bad, they love it!

    A dollop every day...but not anything with artificial flavors. colors or sweeteners. Just plain LOWFAT yogurt with active cultures.

    I mix a little yogurt in toby's food once in a while. Toby also enjoys frozen yogurt in his kong. It occupies him for a long time and he just loves it!~
