Lemonlime Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Hi I did a search but didnt find anything. I know of people who feed Vegemite to their dogs and I just found an almost full jar in the cupboard which is nearing its useby date. I was wondering if its ok to give my dogs a tiny bit in their dinner each day? Does it have any advantages to a dog's diet? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poodlefan Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Oh no... do not put vegemite on your dogs dinner Counting Sheep. You have to make them little toast soldiers with butter and vegemite. Ted's breeder is a greyhound trainer/owner. Everyone of their greys gets a piece of toast and vegemite for breakfast some days. It's basically yeast extract, lots of Vitamin B. My dogs love it (on their toast soldiers) Edited May 7, 2008 by poodlefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucknow Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Slightly off topic but when I was working in a boarding kennel/cattery we would give vegemite to cats refusing to eat to get them to start, the owner swore it worked every time. In the relatively short time I was there it was 100% successful and I have always wondered if it was the effect of the Vit B or some other reason.

Mooper Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 The family who owned Jack before we adopted him had two kids under 4yo. They obviously "shared" their Vegemite soldiers with Jack because he will be right there beside you as you put the first scraping of Vegemite on your toast! We have never given him any. We're meanies. :D No, that's not true. We never give him any morsel of food that we're eating because we can't stand a dog that begs for food. But he has had Vegemite thinly spread on cheese chunks stuffed in his Kong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Boss Doggy Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Not only is it full of B vitamins, but it's a protein source as well! Our dogs are all happy little vegemites We cook our own dog food and we add it to that just because of it's nutritional value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverblue Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 Most dogs will love vegemite, and it is a good source of vitamin B. However i have just bought "Stockgain" for the dogs, it is also a fantastic source of Vitamin B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
