sugar

[red dog]

Is sugar really bad for a dog ? I ask this because most of the supplements have a level of sugar in them and I have heard yes and no when it comes to it being bad for the dogs .

The fact that there is sugar in some dog supplements has more to do with the cheapness of the company than of any nutritive value of sugar for a dog.

To much sugar may be harmful but a small amount shouldn't be!..I feed my dogs yogurt once a week and don't have any problems and I kno yogurt has sugar in it

Plain yogurt has no added sugar and is what should be fed to a dog. (When I say "no sugar," I mean no added or processed sugar.)

The lactose sugar in yogurt isn't what's good for the dog, dogs can't even use it (and, sometimes, they're bad for the dog). In point of fact, it's the probiotics in yogurt that are good, and feeding pre-sweetened yogurts is not as good as just feeding plain yogurt.

Feeding Kefir (http://www.kefir.net/kefiryogurt.htm) is even better.

Kefir is good stuff. For humans and dogs.

I make my own water kefir , milk kefir and cider apple vinegar, barring the acv, I never thought about introducing the kefirs to the dogs, must give it go. if kefir is good for them, kombucha could even be better ?
