Yoghurt Dog Food? You must be barking mad!


The health benefits of yoghurt have been cited for centuries.  Many people know that eating yoghurt

regularly helps the body function properly.  Good bacteria from yoghurt prevents the growth of bad bacteria

that can cause infections and diseases.


What about your dog?  Does he scratch all the time and you can’t work out why?  Does he leave burn marks

on your lawn when he pees?  What is tinned meat doing to his tummy?


Yoghurt Plus is a world-first in pet food delivering a number of unique benefits to dogs. It has a holistic,

symbiotic blend of pro and pre biotics, lactose free yoghurt and enzymes that work together to give dogs a

complete and balanced feed. Just like yoghurt creates inner health for humans, through the use of beneficial

bacteria, Yoghurt Plus creates the same benefits for your pet.  


People love their dogs so much they spends millions of dollars a year on them – dressing them, taking them

to the vet, even things as crazy as getting their dogs married.  But nothing is more important than your

pooch’s diet.


Yoghurt Plus has been developed by John Gould, former Australian Rules Footballer, who played half back

for two Carlton premiership sides in the 1960s.  John, who resides in Camperdown, VIC and today owns 10

domestic dogs and a pack of over 80 foxhounds, developed the product over five years.  It is touted as a

profoundly beneficial pet food product by Professor Nick Costa, Head of the School for Environmental

Science at Murdoch University and Professor Robert Gillette, Director Veterinary Sports Medicine

Programme, Auburn University, USA and Dr Cathy Deague, VVSc Melbourne University Faculty of Veterinary

Science.


John Goold said: “Dogs are omnivorous. They need more than just meat to flourish.  Yoghurt Plus is the first

scientifically proven immune boosting yoghurt pet food so can keep your pets healthy whilst giving them a

tasty, balanced and nutritious meal.”


The main benefits of Yoghurt Plus include:



Assists Digestion - Helps in the digestion of food, whilst improving stool quality and protein

metabolism.


Aids Immunity - Helps augment immune defenses, particularly in the gut, by providing a better

balance of intestinal flora and additional antioxidants


Helps Reduce Skin Disease By increased utilisation of protein and optimal blend of nutrient rich

Omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, which helps promote a healthy, shining coat and assists in the reduction of

skin problems.


Helps Reduce Stool Volume and Odour - Assists digestion, helps to decrease the potential

pathogens in the GI Tract and helps decrease the compounds that can lead to unpleasant odours in

stools.


Assists Urinary Tract Health- Helps stimulate the dilution and acidification of urine, thereby

assisting the function of the urinary system


Helps Reduce Lawn Burn- Helps promote the dilution and acidification of the urine that converts

the damaging and harmful nitrogen compounds that burn lawns to other less harmful forms


Available in two flavours for dogs with more varieties to come, and a cat food variant on the way, Yoghurt

Plus is on sale at Coles and IGA at $13.62 for a 3kg and $6.98 for a 1.25kg.
