SoL Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Hell of a lot of fillers listed in there, quite high up too. Plus, if they're saying it's 'a succulent combination of chicken ...', why have they also listed beef meal? I dunno, haven't tried it and probably wouldn't.

blacklabrador Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 (edited) Sounds like a gimmick to me. Fresh food with fresh yoghurt is gonna be a better idea isn't it? ETA I love how it describes it as a combination of chicken, rice and vegetables etc and when you look at the ingredients list it contains FOUR grains in higher proportions than rice.

SchnauzerMax Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 Just wondering if anyone has tried that new brand of dog kibble, 'Yoghurt Plus'? It is available in coles stores. My dog loves chicken raw or cooked and he loves yoghurt but he won't eat 'Yoghurt Plus' kibble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowchenlove Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I saw the owner of the company being interviewed on t.v and thought I would try it. Not overly impressed - I didn`t like the smell of it and my dogs weren`t overly impressed either - and then read the ingredients and didn`t like how much was fillers. It was okay and would use it again in an emergency but have decided to stick with what has worked for me before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakway Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 To much wheat, srghum, corn, oats for me to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff'n'Toller Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'm not sure about the benefit of yoghurt cultures after the food has been cooked at a high temperature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandra777 Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 I was given a small bag of this as a sample. It stunk, even China who especially enjoys rotting crud of all sorts pulled a funny face at it. Dogs didn't like it and even the local fox wouldn't touch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleCarousel Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I think this is the food my parents put our staffy on a couple of weeks ago now, she has it once a day and I believe it made a big difference. It took her a little longer than normal to start smelling from being outside and her coat seems a lot shinier/healthier. As for her liking it haha, well she'll eat just about any food you throw at her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravyk Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Its a stupid gimmick in my opinion. Why not just feed a high quality kibble and put fresh real yoghurt on top? And benefits from yoghurt surely would be lost when it is dehydrated into kibble form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAMS Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 If you've got the time as opposed to this fresh meat and fresh yoghurt will be better. I am a fan of artemis though, have had the best coats, minimal stools and the most energy out of any food I have tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Sounds like a gimmick to me.Fresh food with fresh yoghurt is gonna be a better idea isn't it? A bit like what I saw in the supermarket the other day - little sachets of fish (mackeral, sardines, tuna, etc) that you can add to your dogs food. About half the size of a standard tin of sardines for only double the price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dianed Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I got a bag and the dogs where not overly impressed, still have some left. I hate the smell of it .....it stinks IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubiton Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Why would you give dogs yoghurt? Marketing. Dogs dont have a system like ours and yoghurt if anything is a treat its not a gut thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Fox Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Why would you give dogs yoghurt? Marketing. Dogs dont have a system like ours and yoghurt if anything is a treat its not a gut thing Pro-biotics, calcium.. Natural fresh yogurt is a good, healthy, nutritional food when given in moderation.

Eridor Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I just make natural yoghurt for my dogs and add it to their kibble and meat. I wouldnt bother trying this food as I am happy with how my dogs are doing on what I feed now and how I feed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog_Horse_Girl Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I added some of this to Lilly's RC and I was far from impressed. She stank for days afterwards! Not going to bother with it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 My little Yorkie is one fussy eater. But he seems to love that stuff! Even the cats get right into it. But I combine it with 2 other kibbles. And Pepper gets fresh raw food in the morning and evening, too. He eats kibble as a snack during the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashka1 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I hve to agree with those who think its a gimick. The amount of yoghurt is minimal and probiotics would be distroyed in the cooking process. A dollop of fresh yought on good quality dry is what I use. Also Fish For Dogs is in the shops now.. contains Chicken.. I have a dog with huge allergies on fish based diet. I had a look at buying fish for Dogs as a change from sardines but as it contains Chicken, I cant feed it. Did find some great dried fish slices in the dog treats today and the dogs loved them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
