Pet Care
Your dog or cat can also benefit from Mountain High Yoghurt’s unique blend of live, active, and probiotic cultures. That’s because these animals need some of the same friendly intestinal cultures that we do (L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, and L. casei). So if a poor diet, illness, or medication has upset your pet’s digestive health, try serving them Plain Mountain High Yoghurt, as described below.
You can also serve Mountain High Yoghurt for daily health maintenance. Like you, your pet can benefit from regular servings of these beneficial cultures. They can even help with "doggy breath" and "kitten breath." And though your dog or cat might not be able to tolerate other dairy products, Mountain High Yoghurt is different, because the billions of cultures help break down the lactose, making it more digestible. |

Who Needs It?
Plain Mountain High Yoghurt can help:
- dogs or cats recovering from poor diet, illness, antibiotic use, or other
medications can really upset a pet’s digestive system
- any dog or cat who has had diarrhea
- young dogs and cats if they’ve been ill or eaten something they shouldn’t have
- dogs or cats with sensitive systems that are easily upset by changing diets, travel, or stress (ask your vet about changing
foods gradually, replacing the old food with the new in growing increments over the course of a week or longer)
- adopted pets or recovered strays who may have had less than desirable diets in their previous homes or shelters
- puppies or kittens who need a little help getting the right microbial balance started
- older pets whose systems are slowing down—aging can diminish natural levels of beneficial cultures in the digestive tract
How Much?
Here’s how to administer Mountain High Yoghurt to dogs or cats:
- Always discuss your options with your veterinarian before feeding yoghurt to your pet.
- Only serve your pet all natural Plain Mountain High Yoghurt. Even though our flavored yoghurts are also all natural and sweetened with
only pure crystalline fructose, your pet does not need the added ingredients. Fortunately, most pets find Plain Mountain High Yoghurt highly
palatable.
- Decide the fat level (Original Style, Lowfat, or Fat Free) based on your pet’s overall dietary needs and specific circumstances of the ailment.
Your veterinarian knows best which fat level is appropriate. Fat has flavor and some pets, especially those with weak appetites, need that
extra flavor to entice them. In these cases, try Original Style. But some ailing or recovering pets can find high-fat foods hard to digest. In this
case, try Fat Free or Lowfat. Additionally, if your cat or dog is older, overweight, or less active, you might prefer Lowfat or Fat Free.
- Doses:
a. For adults dogs, serve 1/3 cup once or twice a day for medium-size dogs (less for smaller, more for large). See how your pet tolerates the first dose before offering the second. Ask our vet how to adjust the dose for puppies.
b. Serve 1/3 cup once a day for daily maintenance for adult medium–size dogs.
c. For adult cats, serve 2 teaspoons once or twice a day for medium-size cats (less for smaller, more for large). Again, cats can’t digest most
dairy products, but the proteins in yoghurt are more easily digestible because they are broken down, and Mountain High Yoghurt’s unique
blend of three live, active, and probiotic cultures (L. acidophilus, B. bifidus, and L. casei) help break down the lactose in the yoghurt,
making digestive upsets less likely. Ask your vet how to adjust dose for kittens.
d. Serve 2 teaspoons once a day for daily maintenance
for adult medium-size cats.
- Most pets find Plain Mountain High Yoghurt very palatable, so you can simply offer it in a bowl. If they need a little more enticing, you can
serve Mountain High Yoghurt mixed with your pet’s regular or favorite foods, if they are able to eat those.
If you have any questions about your pet’s recovery, ask your veterinarian. Then try our Carob Peanutty Dog Bones. Print this page |
