how much yogurt ??

[raffaella]

Hi All,
I've been feeding Maya raw since she was 10 weeks old,she is doing pretty well, I'm trying to give her a fairly balanced diet witch includes chicken legs,beef and lamb mince, offal ,hearts,eggs and a little bit of celery,apples and carrots minced together,I've been given her occasionally some cheese but not yogurt ..so just wondering how much yogurt should I give her..thanks for your help!

Zeus has either 1 tablespoon of live yoghurt, an egg or half small tub of cottage cheese with his raw. He also has 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 of cider vinegar and 2 teaspoons of ground seaweed. Hope this helps!

Zak has a tablespoon of live bio in with his morning meal.

I give Dempsey half a small pot of live yoghurt as a mid day snack about twice a week.

Thanks !..I understand that it should not be more than a small tub a week..

I give a tablespoon of goats yoghurt with a little semi skinned goats milk every morning.

I tried giving Mishka it and she just threw up.(Can't say I blame her) I will try agian and see if it was just a one off.

Just checking re yoghurt, I noticed someone on here saying that they should not have too much? I have been giving kenzi yoghurt mixed with various things in her kong once a day, is this too much? Why is yoghurt not good in large amounts?

I'm not sure, I guess dairy is not a food dogs would naturally eat in large amounts so the lactose may cause upsets.

That's mainly it. But also, you have to check the yoghurt - make sure it isn't 'low fat' or 'sugar free' because then they'll have artificial sweeteners added which can be harmful to dogs.
