Finicky eater 4 yr female boxer. I’ve been feeding her apple sauce and cottage cheese and/or plain yogurt along with her regular food. Is this o.k? She was previously on digestive enzymes and have now taken her off of them.

Hi there Denell,
To answer your question about your pup with the whole yogurt thing, yes it is fine to feed her just plain yogurt with her regular food.
Please note that plain yogurt is a substitute of her mothers milk. In many cases, if there was an animal (dogs & cats) that was left
abandoned, we would feed them plain yogurt (not the fat free kinds). You are doing the right thing in my opinion, but have you ever tried taking her off the yogurt? Although she does have the digestive system problem?
Danell, here are some organic lists of foods for your boxer that you might want to try as well as some tips.
