Give their pups cottage cheese. I have heard that alot but why and how much?

rrosenberry · 03-17-2006, 08:09 AM

I give Bailey a teaspoon to a tablespoon every now and then, as a treat, he loves it, But I don't give him too much of a good thing, cause he INHALES it, then pukes..

so just small amounts for him.

Lexi Rae · 03-17-2006, 08:16 AM

i give lexi about 2 teaspoons sometimes, if i have it...

chachi · 03-17-2006, 08:18 AM

I give it to my dogs about a 1/2 cup with their dry or kibble sometimes. They love cottage cheese.

My guys get a few spoonfuls as a treat sometimes. They love it.

I've never given it to my Yorkies, but when my Alaskan Malamute was pregnant and nursing my vet told me to give it to her for the calcium.

RingoStarr · 03-17-2006, 09:05 AM

I have given it to Starr, she loves it....a few bites while I am eatting it. I give her yogurt alot tho. I have heard the live cultures are good for thier tummies. only thing is she won't eat it on her own...I have to spoon feed yogurt to her....can you say spoiled!

RMKC · 03-17-2006, 09:33 AM

Rosi will eat a tini bit if i feed it to her on a spoon !

teri88 · 03-17-2006, 09:55 AM

Tucker loves it but he only gets it when I have to give him a pill. It is the only thing I've found that I can hide the pill in and he doesn't spit it out.

i give china about 2 table spoons once in awhile.

Last week Jack was throwing up quite a bit so I called the vet. He said give him cottage cheese. I gave him a couple of tablespoons and within a few minutes he was fine. It happened again a couple of days later, so I did it again and he is now fine. The vet thinks he may have a touch of stomach flu.

Ginger gets ¼ cup, just about every night when I eat dinner. She likes it, but isn’t CRAZY about it, because she still begs me for mine. Oh, and it has to at least be low-fat. She won't eat fat-free.

shelbysmom · 03-17-2006, 04:00 PM

The vet told me it's fine to give them some, low fat is best. Just don't give them sooo much that they are full and don't eat their DOG food

When I brought my 8-week old pup home - my vet said to give him cottage cheese every night right before we went to bed. He said it has a lot of protein and would "stick with him" better during the night - and both of us would get more sleep.

I guess it worked because my little guy easily slept 5 to 6 hours from the first night on. I just got up with him quickly when he first woke up to get him to his potty pad. (He also didn't pee during the night while he slept - soundly).
