How much cottage cheese can I feed my 17 week old husky puppy? He has just recovered from parvo and my vet said I could feed him cottage cheese, but he seems to be very fond of the stuff and just wolfs it down, so I want to know what quantity to feed him and I can give it to him everyday? thanks for all the help.

My vet recommends cottage cheese also, mixed with white rice. I wouldn't go with more than 1/2 cup at a time. I'd wait a couple hours and if he still wants more, then you can give him a bit more. Go slow when he is recovering.

I feed cottage cheese to my dogs, and they all love it too. For a husky pup, I would give about 2 - 3 tablespoons per day. I would also give a good probiotic to help the gut bacteria get back to normal after being ill. As someone who does not vaccinate at all
Good luck with your pup!!

HI! How's Butterball?? sounds like she is doing really well. I would recommend not more than a big tablespoon in with his food at each meal. To much will give her the runs! Yuck!
Also someone mentioned low fat no sugar plain yogurt. That's good too but not along with the cottage cheese. One or the other OK.
Have a wonderful day with Butterball OK.

I'm trying to lose mine by eating nothing BUT cottage cheese, for the most part. It's not really working. Crash diet my fat Mexicanass!

You should probably call the vet on that one cause you dont want to feed to much or to little. So just give your vet a call.

I wouldn't give him more than a couple of tablespoons a day. I think your vet likely meant to give him something in his food to encourage him to eat. You could also try giving him a tablespoon of no-fat, no sugar added yogurt - it's good for a dog's digestion.

I'd call the vet as well...they should have told you that when they told you to feed him this!
Good luck and take good care of the pup-pup!

i think that dairy products cause dogs to have diarhea and would never feed my dog a dairy product how ever if your vet told you to do this then call his office and have the staff ask him how much of this you should feed him.

just give him half a cup. you dont want to give him too much b/c it might make him have the runs which isnt fun for you or him.

You shouldn't feed him more than 8 pounds of it.
