A long long time ago someone (I think Anne Jones) posted about giving her dogs no-salt-added cottage cheese occasionally for variety.
I finally remembered to pick some up (it only took me about two years) and gave everyone a big blop this morning.
Man, were they ever enthusiastic! It went over like yogurt, as in entire-face-in-dish ending with white eyebrows!
(Small caution: A lot of dogs don't tolerate uncultured cow's milk well; that is, they are fine with yogurt and aged cheese, etc., but not so much with fresh-milk products. So I gave just a little last night and watched the poop. )

Yes,it was me. I use that & a greek yougert the has no salt or sugar added & also has 5 live yougert culters. The shelf life on the no salt cottage cheese is shorter, but it is a nice altertative. My female doesn't tollerate it(the cottage cheese) well,so she gets a tiny bit, but I can use a good scoop of both for my male.
I get the no salt added cottage cheese at the Shop Rite Supermarket. It is their own brand product.

Yeah, the reason I finally remembered was that it was a big store-brand sale and it seemed like a great variety option. I just stuck 5 of the 6 cartons of it into the freezer.
It was lucky that they all did fine with it; I don't have to make up different-ingredient dishes.

I never thought about freezing it. Great idea. My store always has it, so I never though about that. Glad that it worked for them.
The brand yougert that I like I don't always see, but I finally just found another brand that has the same no salt, no sugar with the same 5 culters. So I can get that one too. It must be a new item for that company, because I have never seen it before. I tend to use the yougert the most, because she can have a good scoop of that.

Dairy products go over really well with my two, but I never thought about freezing cottage cheese, great idea!
What are your thoughts on organic milk? Rose always wants milk when I pour a bowl of cereal, and I often pour a few ounces into a saucer for a treat. She gets more excited about this treat than yogurt, but I've never felt comfortable giving her a whole cup or so of it.

Some dogs handle milk just great and some don't. I have no problem at all giving a little if the dog likes it and handles it well. I wouldn't let it stand in for the yogurt entirely because of the probiotics in the yogurt.

If your dog loved milk and does great with 4 ounces or so, would you feel comfortable giving them a level cup here and there?
And as probiotics go, what are your thoughts on the dry powers? I give Eagle Pack's brand to mine, but Google hasn't offered many answers that seemed very researched.

I don't know. I can't think of a reason off-hand for milk not to be an occasional substitute for some of the meat.
One thing I took away from the book was: the more the merrier, since we are only on the edge of beginning to figure out what strains benefit what challenge (and also it's very individual). I buy yogurt with 5 or more cultures (like Cascade, Nancy's, and a few others) and I stir Probios in.
I started low with the Probios, having been warned that if you start with the full dose you may see GI upset. I also don't remember it every day.
It does help to cover the running question about which method of delivery lends itself to more of the good "bugs" making it past the stomach acids and into the gut where you want them.
