Canned pumpkin works better in my opinion though. REAL yougurt with acidophilus is good too.

If your dog isn't used to dairy it could be a problem and rice is a grain and a lot of people don't like to feed grains because it's starch converts quickly to sugar. And a no no if you're a BARFer. I've read that pumpkin benefits both constipated and "runny" dogs. Just make sure you don't buy canned pumpkin "pie" filling. Just the pumpkin.

I've had no problems with cottage cheese..small curd. Raw eggs, shells and all, have been great, too. At first she didn't think she liked the shells, but went back later to get the ones she'd spit out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
