Yoghurt

I know some of you guys feed your dogs yoghurt and I have been trying to find the threads on it - can you just advise again what sort and how much you give them and why?

Apologies for not taking it down the first time

Thanks x

I think natural goats yoghurt is best, but I can't seem to find it anywhere

I give mine natural goat's yoghurt as it's the lowest in lactose. As for quantities, I give them 2-3 tablespoons (they have their herbs mixed in to it) each, twice weekly.

I give Ben natural yogurt and natural goats yogurt every day.
Afraid I don't measure the yoghurt out, I just pour some into his dish. Sometimes I mix some in with goats milk.

I get goats natural yogurt in Tesco. £2 odds a tub.
The natural yogurt is only 80 odd pence for a large tub.

Keep it separate in the fridge though. I found out my OH had used some of the 'dogs yoghurt' to add to a curry he made for our dinner

He didn't know.. he does now!

I don't actually give them yogurt but if I'm having one Kira will sit beside me salivating all the time- she has these two constant drips from each side of her mouth- I always let her lick the remains from the tub!

Deez does that with me so I though I would get him his own and if it helps him then its a bonus!

I have just been trying to vary his diet lately.

Do you feed the yogurt for the calcium and bacterial content?
Zeus has never been keen on yogurt so I got him some bone builder instead.

What herbs do you use Anni and what are the benefits? I've been searching the site but i'm still unsure what extra's Zeus really needs and dont want to go overboard with supplements.
