Hi Anita. Even 1 round of antibiotics can cause candida in dogs and humans. The probiotic you mention would be good. Here's a great article, which has links to probiotics for dogs: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dogs.php I don't know if cabbage rejuvelac is okay for dogs.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 For my dog I just take one of my capsules, open it and pour it over his food. He doesn't even know the difference. christie [ ] Re: Probiotics for dog? > > Hi Anita. Even 1 round of antibiotics can cause candida in dogs and > humans. The probiotic you mention would be good.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 you should skip the coconut oil (plant based and not well digested by a carnivore) and replace it with a salmon or other fish body oil.

Hi Maggie. Coconut oil is recommended for cats, dogs, birds and horses by Dr. Bruce Fife, considered the expert on coconut oil. My sister is a nurse and she applies coconut oil to her Cocker's eyes and ears which keeps them clear, and gives her coconut oil every day. Cocker's have more problems with their eyes mattering, and plugged up ears. It changed Sadie so much that the vet didn't recognize it was the same dog. Sadie is very old but she started running around like a puppy after the first few days on coconut oil. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi Anita, I have been giving my dogs my homemade cultured vegetables for years. They love them, juice and all. Since their prey animals would be herbivores, I imagine that this would be similar to what would be found in the stomachs of their prey. My dogs love cultured daikon radish, kale, spinach, collards, etc. I stay away from carrots, sweet potatoes, beets, corn, and the starchy veggies because they feed the yeast. Just curious...........what do you feed your dogs? Peggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I know where you're coming from Maggie as I believe I've had my dog on the plan you're referring to. Through my research I decided to give my dog both salmon oil and coconut oil as I believe in the benefits of both. Bee, I picked up some milk free acidophilus today and will begin him on that for a time - don't think he'll take to the fermented veggies but I may try it. Grateful to have this group, Anita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the encouragement. He's also on Acidophilus for a time... I'll send you a private email about his diet as I'm thinking perhaps it's off topic. I'm looking at your list of cultured vegetables and am feeling inspired to try culturing some of the greens. How do the kale and spinach come out? Slimy or crisp? We've tried the daikon radish and it's wonderful. I would have gotten back with you sooner but I've been unwell the past few days.
