Bubitty Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 hehe wantsapuppy I am NOT the person you should be getting advice to feed your dogs from! My dogs are on a somewhat "liberal" diet! It suits them just fine but not something I would go around telling people they should do! HAHAHA we dont have dogs YET and hey its they tolerate it then good for them. But just out of curiasity what kind of fruit do you feed your pooches Basically every single fruit they have tried except the stuff which is actually dangerous to them like grapes Bitty ADORES jackfruit, mangoes (I buy a case every week because I love the look on her face when I peel them one) and nashi pears Every morning they have a mix of apple, pear, kiwi, banana (before cyclone) and whatever other fruit is in season plus the yoghurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially banana. If one of us picks one up he's there in a second sitting in front of us drooling on the floor I give them the mango skins too and they lick them clean.

mita Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 My tibbie girls have a heaped tablespoon of Vaalia Natural Probiotic Yoghurt every day. Mixed in with diced sweet potato (cooked) & either chicken, pork or salmon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy21 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Willow has yoghurt mixed in with her kibble or mince a couple of times a week. She loves it. We use the Easi-yo yoghurt too. She normally gets the Greek-Style Yoghurt but goes nuts for Vanilla. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niques Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 James got a tablespoon or two of either natural yoghurt or cottage cheese most days when he was little. I haven't bothered in ages as he doesn't eat dry food in a bowl anymore and I don't want to have to wash his bowl for a simple spoonful of yoghurt As for fruit, most things are fair game to him. Strawberry heads, blueberries, apples, pears, mango...etc. He loves orange juice. Very, very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandgrubber Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Basically every single fruit they have tried except the stuff which is actually dangerous to them like grapes The grapes thing is something of a myth. Yes, there are documented incidents of dogs having kidney failure after eating grapes. I've got 7 acres of grapes. The only way I could keep the dogs from eating grapes at harvest time is to keep them indoors 24/7. Which I don't. I have no idea of how many grapes they eat at harvest, but I wouldn't be surprised if they eat half a kg/day. I've asked on various grape-grower forums whether anyone's ever had problems with their dogs getting sick from eating grapes. No one has. My guess is it's a little like peanuts and kids. Yes, a few react badly. But it's a very few. . . . one in a thousand. For the rest, it's harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I remember reading that sulfur is used in the drying process and I think sulphur is bad for dogs. Don't know if this is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozzie Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Raw eggs ? Blergh haha ga We have to make sure we collect the eggs as soon as we let the chooks out, otherwise the dogs go and help themselves from the nest boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel@Marengo Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Hard to overfeed yoghurt. For people with large or multiple dogs, you can do it cheaply. Get an EasyYo system and make your own using some Greek yoghurt as starter. You can use powdered milk as a base. It's simple. Dogs love it. (I haven't done this for a long time . . . must get back into it). have you noticed how much more expensive the sachets have gotten? i used to pay around $2.30 a pack; now they're around $4 I just bought the system today and yeah 4.50 or something like that for the sachet. the price is getting over the top considering i can purchase a 1kg tub of Jalna for not a lot more (around 50 cents more) and i don't have to make it myself Once you have the kit , you don't need to buy the satchels, just use use a few spoons of good quality yoghurt add milk and some powdered milk, or use greek yoghurt like sandgrubber said, much healthier. Mal loves licking out the containers, thats all she gets. Most dogs are probably like most people, attracted to the sugar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
