Rosebud Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 :D There seems to be some interest in giving your dog this treat. Here's some information on yogurt's health benefits and a link to some home-made recipes. I starting giving my dogs yogurt when they were about 6 months old. They love it and I feel good about letting them have it. Hope this helps anyone who is considering supplementing their furbabies diet with yogurt. http://www.uwashapet.com/yogurt.html http://www.askdrsears.com/html/4/T045700.asp http://www.doggieconnection.com/recipe/frozen_peanut_butter_yogurt.html :angel: Quote
ellieangel Posted April 22, 2003 Posted April 22, 2003 Thanks for that ! I've always given mine yogurt, I think I'll try to eat more too after looking at those !!!!!!!!!!!!! :eating: Quote
snowpaws Posted April 23, 2003 Posted April 23, 2003 wow, anticancer properties! I didn't know that! I give my dog a couple of spoonfulls with each meal, and he really enjoys it!! :D I'll have to try eat more myself, I do sometimes, but I couldn't handle a whole pot in one go!!! :-? Quote
Daisysmom Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 I have been giving my two yogurt for a while now and they love it. My vet said it really aids in their digestion too! Roo was the one who opened my eyes to it! :lol: Quote
mydogroxy Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 i made those peanut butter/yogurt treats for roxy and they gave her the poops. :o Quote
Rosebud Posted May 11, 2003 Author Posted May 11, 2003 :lol: :o i made those peanut butter/yogurt treats for roxy and they gave her the poops. How many did you give her, I haven't made any yet just the brownies and nothing but firmer stools out of them. :angel: Quote
Carolk9s Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 My pack LOVES their yogurt, they get plain yogurt with breakfast. At the recent agility trials, I had a Frusion, a smoothie of yogurt and fruits. I shared it with Candy by pouring a bit of it into the cap. She loved it! Quote

I think the best idea is to introduce it slowly. I give my dogs yoghurt when we have some in the fridge on dog food making days. We make our own yoghurt, so it works out alot cheaper. Quote
alicat613 Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Oh I'd love to make our own! Is it hard? How do you do it? Quote
Guest Anonymous Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 My mom has a yogurt machine... I'm not sure how she makes it exactlly... milk, then she does somethin with it! :lol: I use to give a spoon full of it with Hazel's food every day, and plan on introducing it to Coal in his kibble (GOOD stuff, I can't handle that BARF anymore! :o ) soon.

mouseatthebusstop Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 I give it to mine 4 to 5 times a week for their digestive system :) Quote
Rowie-the-Pooh Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 Wow! Thanx Rosebud! :D :D :D I want to introduce yogurt into Rowie's diet..how should I? Give her a bit at first then gradually add more and more? :-? How many times should I give her yogurt? At every meal? (She's a year and a bit BTW) :D Thanks! :D Quote
Daisysmom Posted May 12, 2003 Posted May 12, 2003 I give Chelsea a large spoonful with her dry food at dinner. Daisy gets about 2 spoonfuls. (Chelsea is under a year) Quote

My babies get it as dessert, they do fine on a cup serving, but I don't give them that much every day. :angel: Quote
mydogroxy Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 i only gave her one! maybe she just needed to adjust to the yogurt, but after that mess, i'm not going to find out! Quote

Was the peanut butter still real hot when you added the yogurt and if it was did it kinda bubble when you added it. I'm wondering if adding cold yogurt to hot peanut butter would cause the yogurt to spoil. I haven't tried that recipe it just sounded good, I don't think I'll melt the peanut butter in the microwave. Let me know I'm really interested in what went wrong! Yogurt should not upset your dog's stomach, neither should peanut butter. The only other thing I can think of is allergies to either one or both. :angel: Quote
sheltielover Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 I'm going to try making the frozen peanut butter/yogurt mix sometime this week. My girls LOVE yogurt and peanut butter so I am sure they will love them...especially in the summer!! Quote
mydogroxy Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 it could have been something along the lines of hot peanut butter/cold yogurt not getting along. roxy loves peanut butter treats of all sorts, but i've never given her yogurt. i always heard that it was great for them. maybe it was just a fluke?
