Does anyone give their dogs probiotics and if so, what are the best brands. My dog Cody is allergic to wheat so it needs to be wheat free or prepared in a wheat free environment. cody is going better today, I got up and fed him his breakfast early in the morning and he never got sick to his stomach today. We are taking him to a specialist to see what they think is the problem. Thinking of ordering some probiotics for my dogs. They get plain yogurt each day with their breakfast, but i read they would have to eat quite a bit to get the benefits from it. So thinking of buying probiotics. Any suggestions? thank you

Do you give good live-culture unsweetened yogurt with 6 or 8 cultures? If so, then why would they have to eat quite a bit? (Actually, I give quite a bit. )

For those of you that supplement with yogurt, it's really easy to make your own, and you can keep adding cultures to it by using different yogurt as a mother. You can also use whatever kind of milk you wish.
I love Alton Brown:
Ingredients
1 quart 2-percent milk
1/2 cup powdered milk
1 to 2 tablepoons honey
1/2 cup plain yogurt, room temperature
Directions
Pour milk into small saucepan and whisk in powdered milk and honey. Place over medium heat and bring to 120 degrees F on an instant read thermometer. Once milk has reached 120 degrees F, pour into a cylindrical plastic container, reserving 1/2 cup. Whisk in the reserved 1/2 cup into the yogurt and add back to the milk mixture.
Place container into a narrow wine bucket, lined with a heating pad. Set the heating pad to medium. Let the mixture ferment for 3 to 12 hours making sure the temperature stays as close to 115 degrees F as possible.
After fermentation is complete place into the refrigerator overnight.
