Breakfast!

Us dogs know our food.  Whether it's chicken broth or a table cloth, we have tasted it or took a bite of it and we have an opinion on it.  We're always ready to eat and one of our favorite food additions is yogurt!  We know that canines may not read this blog, but some canine owners do, so we have the scoop on yogurt.  Follow our lead and your dogs will love their first meal of the day even more.

When you prepare your dog's dry food in the morning, take a tablespoon full of yogurt and add it to the food.  You can put it on top or on the bottom, but we recommend that you put it on the bottom.  Placing the yogurt on top usually means the dog will just eat the yogurt first...placing the yogurt on the bottom will both make your dog 'work' to get his yogurt as well as making sure he eats his dry food with the yogurt (even if your dog's nose pushes the dry food around to get to the yogurt, they will eat the dry food along the way).

To ensure that your dog doesn't pack on the pounds due to the yogurt calories, we recommend using low-fat yogurt (either plain or flavored).  Our favorite is Dannon 'Light n' Fit' vanilla flavor, which is only 80 calories per human serving (8 ounces), so only a tablespoon is not many calories at all for your dog!  If not Dannon, any other brand (or just the store brand) will work just as well.  The tasty treat will make your dog excited for his meal, even if it is just plain old dry dog food!
