Miranda Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I feed Jalna yoghurt and any brand of tuna in springwater. Don't feed the dessert yoghurts, most of them are high in sugar and of little nutritional value. Jalna yoghurts are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezza Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Any sort of all natural yoghurt will be fine. I usually give my lot a spoonful of the Vaalia stuff I eat. As for Tuna I don't feed it (I feed sardines) but the ones in olive oil are good too. The oil is great for thier coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouledogue Français Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Hi Chicko, I feed Jalna natural yoghurt, don't feed a lot of tuna, but use tuna in springwater, feed mostly canned/raw sardines and canned mackerel in natural oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katetk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) this was the exact combo of food that Harvey had for breakfast this morning.. yoghurt and tuna, ewww for me but he LOVES it! I use the pauls natural yoghurt - thats what i have at the moment i think. Tuna, just the cheap brands of it in oil or spring water. Sardines is another one i buy, again just one of the cheaper brands but i get one minus salt and he sometimes gets mackeral too - whatever i pick up at the shop really. These tins always come in handy if i forget to defrost BARF. Edited August 30, 2005 by katetk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Shepherd mom Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I don't feed yoghurt often but when I do I use a plain flavour, one that mentions acidophilus and all the other goodies I can't name right now! For tuna I buy the big Woolies home brand one, usually in oil. I also buy the Woolies homebrand sardines in oil in case I only want to feed them a little bit of fish.

chicko Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 Okay so feeding yoghurt and tuna/ sardines isnt bad..is it bad to feed it every day? and thanks for the replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffiend42 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I make my own yoghurt (Greek style and natural) - heaps cheaper and yummy. They boys get it maybe twice a week if I haven't used it all up As for tuna, either in springwater or oil, or salmon, or mackerel - doesnt' really matter. I put a tin when I make up their barf patties, and they get one each a day for their little lunch. I don't hear them complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They boys get it maybe twice a week if I haven't used it all up Hey - this is clever! How do you make it? My dogs decided that Tuna wasnt for them, neither was sardines - so now the only fish they will eat is salmon! I give them natural yoghurt (only sometimes as Kirra ends up with it all the way from the top of her head to her tail So, only on bath days ) Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicko Posted August 30, 2005 Author Share Posted August 30, 2005 thanks guys so its fine to feed it every day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katetk Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 Do you mean feeding the tuna or the yoghurt everyday? Or both? I personally dont feed this everyday (fish that is) it just wouldn't be blanced IMO. Yoghurt, i generally buy Harvey his own tub (as i can't stand natural yoghurt), just a small one and a dollop of it goes onto his barf mix or fish whatever he is having for the day.. if i dont have it in the fridge he doesn't have it...mmm not much help am i ... *still on my first coffee * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espinay2 Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 No, I would not feed it every day. Too much tuna can deplete Vit E (particularly in cats, but I would also use caution with dogs). Fish one or two times a week is what I would suggest. Instead of feeding tuna all the time I would also suggest rotating it with things like Sardines, Mackeral and/or Salmon which are generally better choices in the oily fish varieties.

goldielover Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I feed tuna once a week and sardines in oil once a week. As for yoghurt... natural set yoghurt is the best! I feed a tablespoon a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caffiend42 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 JW - get the Easiyo kit from the supermarket, costs about $20 for the starter kit and then the powder packets are around $3 ea. So simple even I don't have to read the destructions Truth be told, you don't really need the kit, but a 1L jar and a thermos that can hold it. It's suggested to let the culture mature for about 8-9 hours, but I do mine for about 24 to make it really thick set. Yumbo. 90% of the yoghurts you can buy now are diet or low fat and that gives me the irrits - they don't taste nearly as good. I reckon the best ever bought yoghurt is the Greek Style (Paul's or Peters?) and the Bornhoffen Acidophilus from Caboolture. Can't get it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
