Johnjellis Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Can anyone tell me where I can buy Yoghurt Plus dry dog food? I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've bought that once before and I'm pretty sure it was just at the supermarket, Coles or Woolies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnjellis Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 They used to but don't stock it now........ very frustrating as I found it was a good food with pre and pro biotics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 They used to but don't stock it now........ very frustrating as I found it was a good food with pre and pro biotics Do they still make it? Their website doesn't work anymore. You could try feeding real yoghurt, it's probably a heap better nutritionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could the good cultures in the yoghurt dog food still exist after being cooked? Even if they had a fancy way - I'd still rather give real yoghurt. We used to sell the sister (pet store) product of that called Biotic Plus and it was a fail - hardly anybody bought it. We couldn't even move it at half price, didn't help that I hate selling cheap food that is priced like a premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Johnjellis my guys get natural unsweetened yoghurt - whatever is on special (Jalna this week ) for breakfast, along with chicken necks - dirt cheap and very easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boronia Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Buy a yoghurt maker and make up your own, you can buy low-fat unsweetened yoghurt powder at the supermarket, the brands are Hansells or Easy-Yo. Hansells are often on special. it is easy to make, do it in the evening and let it turn overnight then pop it in the fridge. They contain Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus and Lactobacillus acidophilus. Some certain products also contain the Bifidobacteria strain Doggies love it!

Rosetta Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I would give the lactose free yoghurt a try as some dogs can have difficulty with lactose. The Yoghurt Plus Dry used to be in Woolies supermarkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Easi-Yo and its how i make the yoghurt for Jager. I make it up once or twice a week (depending on how much i eat of it :)) its super easy and the powder can be bought from Coles (i dont know about Woolies) for about $3 and it makes a litre. I just throw a tablespoon onto his breaky each morning. And it is super yummy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westiemum Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 (edited) Nushie and Boronia, do these make at home yoghurt thingos have a lot of sugar in them? Edited August 1, 2013 by westiemum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 No it depends on which type of sachet you buy. You can buy the natural one which has none I don't think or you can get the vanilla one which has more. I have an easy-yo as well :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheena Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 A lot cheaper if you make your own entirely & not difficult if you have a yogurt maker or a thermal pot. One tiny batch of culture makes 100 litres of yogurt, you just store the culture in the freezer. I get mine from here Green Living Australia, I also bought a milk thermometer to go with it....takes out the guess work & I make mine with powdered milk.

aliwake Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I've asked in the past how dogs are able to eat yoghurt, given most are lactose intolerant, and I was told it's because most yoghurts are made from goat's milk? none of them specify the type of milk on the packet though. I've thought about making my own, but trying to source goat's milk would be pretty tricky! Has anyone used the low/no lactose milks at the supermarket to make yoghurt?

The amount of yogurt you give them isn't huge and most dogs don't have a problem with it. The yoghurt I use (Jalna natural) is naturally low lactose, and I think a lot of natural yoghurts are. Don't just assume your dog can't have lactose, their tummies are a lot stronger than you give them credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliwake Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 yeah, I give mine Jalna for that very reason. My pup has had a lot of tummy upsets, and the key reason he gets yoghurt is to firm up his stools. I wouldn't risk giving him something that could potentially make the problem worse. Don't really feel like experimenting to find out if he is actually lactose intolerent or not - he's had enough dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
