Title: Safe to feed a dollop of goats cheese?
Post by: Christine (Blip) on January 26, 2008, 18:11:33 PM

We have to give Blip her Cosequin in Primula with ham, but that is not so easy to get round here.  I have some spreadable goats cheese: any reason not to put the Cosequin in that for Blip?

Many thanks

 :Luv:

I would have thought it would be fine, goats milk is lactose reduced so I would imagine the cheese is similar.  Tiggy used to eat huge blocks of cheddar cheese with no ill effect so I'm sure a dollop of goats cheese will do Blip no harm (although she may develop a taste for it!).

If she prefers the Primula do you have any 'Tesco Express' near you?  They sell Primula tubes in all my local ones.

none apart from the fact that goat cheese is expensive - goat milk is much more easily digestible than cow milk

Thanks, ladies.  Goats cheese is cheaper for me than Primula as I do not have to trek miles to find it  :rofl:  We do have a Tesco Express nearby but they only had plain Primula when OH went last week.  Blip will not eat plain Primula  :tired:

We buy goats cheese anyway, so I shall give it a go  :)

 :thanks:
