Yoghurt: Plus or a Negative?

So the PR company who looks after Yoghurt Plus have kindly sent me some product for my doggy to trial. Dudley is a white toy poodle that I got from the pound a couple of months ago. After a pretty rough start (he had a urinary tract infection amongst other things) and a lot of patience (dudley likes to escape through open windows) we're finally at a place that we both feel comfortable. 

So I was really pleased to take part in this trial as I want him to be happy and healthy. He was very skinny and not very well when we got him!!

A spiel from the website... Yoghurt Plus is a unique pet food that delivers a range of unique benefits to your pet. It is a holistic, symbiotic blend of pro and pre biotics, lactose free yoghurt and enzymes, that work together to give your pet a complete and balanced feed. Most importantly, it shows the same level of microbial activity before and after production. Just like yoghurt creates inner health for humans, through the use of beneficial bacteria, Yoghurt Plus creates the same benefits for your pet. Let them enjoy the same health benefits that the whole family does, after all they are part of the family.

Assists Digestion- Helps in the digestion of food, whilst improving stool quality and protein metabolism.

Aids Immunity- Helps augment immune defences, particularly in the gut, by providing a better balance of intestinal flora and additional antioxidants.

Helps Reduce Skin Disease- An optimal blend of nutrient rich Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, that helps promote a healthy, shining coat and assists in the reduction of skin problems.

Helps Reduce Stool Volume & Odour- Assists digestion, helps to decrease the potential pathogens in the GI Tract and helps decrease the compounds that can lead to unpleasent odours in stools.

Assists Urinary Tract Health- Helps stimulate the dilution and acidification of urine, thereby assisting the function of the urinary system.

Helps Reduce Lawn Burn- Helps promote the dilution and acidification of the urine that converts the damaging and harmful nitrogen compounds that burn lawns to other less harmful forms.

So far so good... he wolfs it down (YP gets an A for taste) and his poo's definitely seem to be lighter in colour and odour. He also used to have runny poo's quite a bit and this seems to have eased off too - so its good news all round so far.

I'll keep you posted on how Dudders likes it... In the meantime you can pick it up from Coles.
