Title: Licking the lid of life
Post by: Harveypops on July 01, 2009, 01:50:06 PM
OK. I have a slight addiction. I'm in love with the Muller corners. No, not the healthy fruit ones that possibly could make up 2% of your 5 a day. I'm talking about the digestive biscuit ones.  ph34r

I've been letting Harvey lick the lid in a desperate attempt to lower my calorie intake. Just double checking is yogurt dangerous for dogs?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place  ph34r

I think a lot of people do the same, me included ;). Although I make sure that there is barely anything on the lid now, what with Brodie watching her figure :shades:

I have to confess a similar obsession - though I prefer the fruit ones I do go through phases of being addicted to the strawberry shortcake ones ph34r :lol2:

Mmmm, the strawberry shortcake ones are in the multipacks! Haven't given that one to Harvey. ph34r

OK it looks like me and Harv can safely indulge together :D

We use natural yogurt in the kongs with no side effects  :D

I've just seen Mum2milly's thread about that! I may start doing that with the kongs and keeping the chocolate bits for myself.  :D

Yup - Honey loves it when we eat a yoghurt, as it means she gets to lick out the pot!!  :luv:

Yup we have the ones with Bividum digestivum or something like that and Bonnie Boo always licks the lid and gets her tongue into the bottom of the pot

The only problems when I give him the pot is that he ends up with half of it on his nose  ::) Well that's just a waste and I would have happily eaten that myself  :005:

Mine have always licked the lids and pots to, when I've finished of course  :shades: When I worked in kennels we used to give a dog with a stomach condition live yogurt, so I think it's as good for them as it is for us. Unless they have a sensitivity of course.  ;)

Ooh, I'll have to get some more in. I'm dying for some ice cream but really can't be bothered to drive to the shops so the yogurt stash seems to be diminishing at an alarming rate  :005: :005:

Mmmmmmmmmmmm. Toffee.

My OH started giving Lucy - our 5 mth working cocker spaniel - the yoghurt pot to lick out when he had finished with it, now everytime we have a yoghurt she patiently sits by us (as much as a 5mth old can) until we are ready to give it to her. She likes all flavours but her favourite is the tesco toffee the flat round one.  I'll have to try putting some in her kong bet she'll like that.

Gari always got the lid to lick and then the empty tub (with a teensy bit left in it!), but I had to hold it for him! ::) :005:

Ben comes home every day with his apple or pear core, and an empty yoghurt pot (not Muller though). Buddy follows him around, drooling all over the floor, until he gets it!!!

Harvey had had his first strawberry and short cake lid and pot. ;)

Strawberry could be a new fav  :D

They're good aren't they ;).  Brodie's very disappointed that she doesn't get to lick the pot too :005:

Harvey has been known to wonder around with a dry  bit of yogurt on  his nose that he hasn't been able to reach with his tongue  :005: :005:
