My danes get kefir (1 cup/dane) each meal (2 times a day) since 3 years now. As

for my cats, I find it depends: someday they will eat it and other days, they

will leave it. Anyway I offer them every day.

This makes me think maybe I should share some kefir with my elder kitty.

He has something on his lungs, though I'm leaning towards kitty

emphazeima/asthma. The vet said it was either lung cancer or that, and

the treatment was the same if I wasn't going to do biopsy/chemo. I told

her it's hard enough going through chemo when you are human and know

what's going on. To put a kitty through it... no. She agreed. But on his

steroid therapy, he's doing quite well. Still, I'm wondering if anyone

has any thoughts on sharing kefir with our furry friends.

Do a google search on animals and kefir. I think you would find many

testimonials to using kefir with pets. I give it to my dogs, and they lap it

up. Animals need the probiotics and other good life in kefir as much as we

do. Especially in this time when there are so many pollutants just waiting

for us and our animals.

I have given kefir for my dogs whenever I have made it for myself starting

some 12 or 15 years ago.

I feed my Great Danes raw and as much organic as I can. They have been getting

yogurt and occasionally store bought kefir (I found a brand at the local

international store that stocked a Russian brand which contained milk and kefir

culture, nothing else). I would make more from that, but it would stop making,

etc.

Then my friend, who must be the poster child for MKG, told me aout how the kefir

made with the grains has affected her life in the last 6 months since she got

her grains from a friend. I sent off for mine as soon as I got home. I have done

a bit of battle with mine as they went from being a couple of Tbsps of grains to

a hulking mass of MKG. This in 3 days, so I have bottles of kefir in the fridge.

And that is all good because my dogs LOVE the kefir, and the grains especially.

My Harl girl stands next to me when I am straining and switching bottles. The

boy and the pup are following her lead.

I can't wait to see what I have to report in 6 months!

Yes, dogs for sure love kefir milk and our cat also laps . As for our dogs,

they would never pass it up. Once my husband strained the MKG and set the

grains on the edge of counter while he fed the dogs their kefir milk.

Something came up which caused him to step outside for a few mintues. When

he came back, the grains were all gone. Our Pyrenees dog noticed them

sitting near the edge of the counter and helped herself to ALL of them. I

was not home so when my husband called to tell me, I told him to call our

friend and get some MKG to replace. When I got home the next day, went to

strain the MKG and noticed how funny the grains looked. Turned out my

husband got Water Kefir grains and put them into the milk. Needless to say,

the milk did not turn out, was fully runny yet. So back to friends he went

for the right grain. Feed the milk kefir to your fur pets and my chickens

love any extra wkg but I usually eat them instead. I attribute our dogs'

lovely fur to the milk kefir.
