judy69 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Hi guys I want my Chi to have some yoghurt everyday but I cant get him to eat the natural ones. I actually gave him some of the Jalna vanilla yoghurt today and he polished this off no worries. Is it ok to give dogs flavoured yoghurt instead of just natural??

*Avanti* Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I doubt a little would do much harm, probably one without sugar would be best. Maybe your dog might eat natural yoghurt if it was mixed with meat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajtek Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 LabTested that's a great idea. I think feeding sugar based yoghurt every day is a bit much. My doglets have learnt to love plain yoghurt. If I want to give them a surgar fix - it's ice cream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOCTRL Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I agree sugary ones every day is probably a bit much. I feed the Jalna natural one - a big dollop mixed in with his brekky (Ok...and maybe a bit on the spoon if he looks at me extra-adoringly :laugh: If he won't the the natural one straight up...maybe you could wean him on to it? Mix 50/50 with the Vanilla that he likes for a few days.. then 2/3 1/3 until it's just the Natural one? Edited February 21, 2012 by NOCTRL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tilly Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 My boys get natural yoghurt mixed up with sardines (which they love) ... and then frozen. Yummy hot weather treat. Sometimes I freeze a smacko in them as a handle. Maybe try natural yoghurt with some fresh fruit mashed/grated/cut up in it ... if they like fruit ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar (AmBull) Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have recently added natural yoghurt into Oscar's diet, as well as cottage cheese. I normally put in a spoon full of each a night and mix it through his dry food thoroughly. I also add in something else most nights, whether it be eggs, vegies, tuna, sardines, salmon etc. I would just maybe introduce in a small amount to begin with? Just make sure it is mixed in well also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lappiemum Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 the Jalina one is good for pregnant bitches ;) - helps with the bacteria in the gut too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judy69 Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks for all your replies. I have tried mixing it in his meat but he still wouldnt eat it. I think I will try Noctrl's suggestion and try and get him to eat the natural one by mixing it into his vanilla one. I can only try :) Thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumof4girls Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Judy69 I mix Greek yoghurt and sardines sometimes natural sometimes with tomato sauce and put it in a Kong and freeze it. I give it to my boy to chew in throughout the day while at work and he loves it :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laneka Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 We use vanilla yoghurt but make sure it has all the ABC's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESCS Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I find some natural yogurts have a more sour/tangy taste than others. Our tibbie can be fussy and won't eat the tangy varieties. Mita suggested Vaalia Natural (not the low fat one) and he loves it as it's creamy and mild tasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) I chop up apple, mix it with yoghurt and freeze it and it keeps my pup amused for a while when it's hot. If there are certain foods she won't eat in her dinner, I find if I start using it as a treat she starts to love it. Reverse psychology! I do find even a small amount makes her poo runny though, so perhaps she has some lactose issues. Edited February 22, 2012 by minimax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judy69 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Maybe that is why he wont eat the natural yoghurt as it does have a tangy/sour taste to it. I will give the Vaalia natural yoghurt a go also. Thanks again guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJ88 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My goldie loves greek yoghurt, even more so when it's passionfruit, I usually leave her a little bit in the tub and some up the sides and it keeps her entertained for about 15 minutes. Then she licks it clean and the contained entertains her for another 10 until it cracks and gets taken off her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
