I know cottage cheese is really good for Yorkies but do you feed it to them every day? I just started feeding mine cottage cheese and i give her about a tablespoon and a half every day, does that seem about right? Also i know it's good in protien for them but is that all it does? I mean i'v heard that it's REALLY good to feed them it but why is it so good for them?

I've read on here that it is good for them too but I forgot why

Maybe someone else will remember

Yes, cottage cheese is good for them, the protein is great but it also helps with their digestive tract. I fed Chewy only a teaspoon on top of his food in the morning when we first got him. I think I only fed it for maybe a month. Sometimes now though, I give him a little taste and he LOVES it.

I'm not sure of how much you should feed, I think it probably depends on the size. When I was feeding it, Chewy was 3-4 months and below 2#. Hope it helps.

I fed Olivia some cottage cheese when I noticed her teeth falling out. I figured a little extra calcium in her diet wouldn't hurt while her adult teeth were forming. Plus she loved it, so it was a pretty healthy treat for her.

I feed Gucci the doubles, some cottage cheese with fruit she loves it, I give it to her in the morning. Sometimes she does get bored with it..it is frustrating i agree

Just want to say thanks for the Cottage cheese idea....i would never have thought to give an animal cottage cheese....i just started to give Zoe some (she had pups and i was worried about calcium loss) and she absolutely loves it....but i think i am also giving to much...about one heaping tablespoon every afternoon...

When I can't get chewy to eat for a few days, I'll give him a whole bowl of it to get him to eat.

Cottage cheese also helps when your pup is gasy.

chachi · 10-06-2005, 10:36 AM

I give my dogs cottage cheese as a treat not everyday but every now and then.

I read on here where some gave their yorkies cottage cheese when trying to get their ears to stand. Something about the cartiledge maybe? Cant remember why exactly.

mustangbee · 10-09-2005, 04:00 PM

I gave it to Princess because our Breeder told us to.
Now she get's it as a treat.
She Loves it!

I gave Bell cottage cheese when she was feeding her puppies, Now she only gets it once in a while, not all the time.
