I want to add some yogurt to my dogs diet but the problem is i dont know which one to add.

What brand and flavour etc etc should i buy to add into their diet?

Thanks in advance

We use B-D Farm Paris Creek, Organic yoghurt

You want a plain yoghurt with no artificial sweetners/colours/preservatives

[wolfgirl]

We use the Paul's plain vanilla one which is hard set with the acidofolus (probably not the correct spelling of that word, too lazy to get up and go to the fridge )

[Allerzeit]

We use Jalna natural yoghurt.

In fact, with a litter of 7 puppies who have just turned 8 weeks old, I think I own shares in Jalna at the moment!

[Rottshowgirl]

I use the Peter's European Style yoghurt and put one tablespoon in with each dinner for my Rotts.

And then let them lick the spoon

I buy any yoghurt Oliver has a real passion for strawberry, but I will add he loves the passionfruit greek yoghut expensive tastes my boy has.

ANY yoghurt is better than NO yoghurt but just check the sugar levels - most fruit yoghurts are very high in sugar - so high, you may as well feed icecream!!!

Get one with all the good bacterias, acidophillus etc - I will highly recommend YAKULT - one of those a couple of times a week is a huge boost but next to best would any plain yoghurt with all the goodies in it and only a little or no sugar

[flycow]

I feed a tablespoon Jalna a day, only the flavors which list it's specific amount of cultures. There are a lot of dessert yoghurts out there with sugar which is not a good idea, plus those usually don't state how much cultures is in the tub.

Could've sworn I posted in this topic earlier Apparently not...

I feed mine a natural fat free yoghurt (she's a chunker!) so mostly the Jalna fat free or Tamar Valley fat free which is a better consistency.... I feed a tablespoon a night to mix in her powdered supplement, and the Tamar one mixes easier I've found!

Thanks guys ill try the jalna yoghurt

Do you think i'd need to put it in everyday or just on the days i dont add in an egg or sardines??

P.Si put an egg in once a week and sardines once a week

[Cheyenne_Fury]

I use Liddells lactose free plain yoghurt, it's actually quite nice (I'll even eat it ) and the dogs go crazy for it

[Mjosa]

My kids get Paris Creek yoghurt with honey + the abc in it , they get a tablespoon each night, and they love it.

[Malamum]

I also generally get the Jalna natural yoghurt but bought a tub of the Dairy Farmers stuff this week as I noticed they had a 1kg tub.

I don't think the brand really matters, I just make sure I get the plain variety and one with no artificial sweeteners.

[birgulparis]

I use the greek style yoghurt with meals

and for a treat flavoured yoghurt(whatever I eat.)

[Staffy-Lover]

any natural or greek yoghurt will be fine

the flavoured ones only for a treat as they have too much sugar.

[Ruffles]

Our dogs get Jalna, I think its Bio dynamic or something... Its just natural yoghurt with extra goodies/bacteria for their tummies

[angelbundy]

Ours have Jalna plain bio dynamic? yogurt. Good stuff! Our adult lab gets a dessertspoon everyday, a teaspoon for the littlies! They love it. Our lab also gets eggs once a week, haven't tried sardines. We give them to the cats at the shelter though.

[shekhina]

Natural greek yoghurt

[Tassie]

My Border Collies have a dessertspoon of plain yoghurt every day - usually Jalna fat free, but they have had Greek, Peters, Tamar Valley .... Any plain, fat-free with acidophilus etc., I think.

just a note that you don't have to give your dog fat free as dogs digest fat differently then people
