Jackandgrey Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Keep it up sweetie!! Where do you buy nutritional yeast? Are there different brands, some better than others? Most health food stores carry it, and as for brand, I don't think it matters.And if anyone can't find it in your area, here's an 800# to Clarke's mail order. They're a big health food store here in Ca. That # is 800-251-8996. Let me tell you what they did yesterday. When I called to order the yeast for Emmy, it was late in the afternoon Ca time. I told them this just HAD TO be there overnight. The woman told me that fed-ex was already there for pick up. They had fed-ex wait for my order so they could get it to Emmy overnight. Now I don't frequent health food stores, but any order I have will go through this company for sure! You are such an amazingly dear person Now eat Miss Emmy!

TheFullHouse Posted August 21, 2008 Author Share Posted August 21, 2008 The Nutritional Yeast that Claudia ordered came this morning and after eating a little over 2 cups of soup this morning, Emmy ate another cup and a half with the nutritional yeast, and the amazing thing was she looked like she was really enjoying it. She lapped it up like crazy! I haven't seen her eat like that in 3 months! She will be getting it in each of her meals from now on! Maybe with some luck and the nutritional yeast, we can work her back up to solid food again! Thank you Claudia from the bottom of mine and Emmy's heart!

Bevd Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) I've no idea how I've not seen this thread. I'm really glad to hear that little Emmy is starting to eat a little now. I'm having an issue with Wallace and his feeding but on a much smaller scale than you've been having with Emmy. He would eat cooked pasta for his three meals if I allowed him to but I also want him to have some proper dog food for nutritional balance. But he just really wants pasta. Just now, before I read your thread, I was sitting on the floor, trying to get him to eat normal kibble (soaked) off a spoon. I think I too may have to look into this yeast thing. Edit - you were typing at the same time as me! I'm so pleased that she's eaten better again I will definately be looking for yeast!

CaliforniaGreys Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Emmy, you have made my day young lady, Hell, truth is, you made my week!! I can see it now....she's going to become an eating machine. A bigger thanks needs to go to Xan because this was her suggestion to me for Misty. I'de never heard of nutritional yeast. I had to pm her and ask her if that's what I actually ask for.

Now I don't frequent health food stores, but any order I have will go through this company for sure! I'm not sure how many companies actually manufacture it, but ideally, you're looking for Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula Nutritional Yeast. But, as long as it says NUTRITIONAL yeast, I think you're in good shape. The store I get mine from has it in bulk bins, and the label says it's Red Star, so I'm a happy camper! I buy it about a quart at a time! LOVE it! (Takes care of my cheesy fix, too! Mmm!) The Nutritional Yeast that Claudia ordered came this morning and after eating a little over 2 cups of soup this morning, Emmy ate another cup and a half with the nutritional yeast, and the amazing thing was she looked like she was really enjoying it.

gazehund Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 BRILLIANT news Judy!! :yay Well done Misses Xan and Claudia !!! My dogs will stay on it as long as they continue to enjoy it. The nutritional benefits are worth it! I have to add I have gotten more than one useful tip through idea exchanges such as this thread. GT gets on my nerves at times, but information such as this is worth any little momentary aggravation. Thanks to all who so willingly share what works for them!

We also have seen the benefits of the nutritional yeast first-hand with our girl, Bonnie! That stuff is pure gold...flaky gold! Will she start getting Reglan soon? Then the Cushings meds again? Just wondered what the plan was now that SHE'S EATING! Go Emmy! That's the plan! If I can keep her eating through the weekend, then I'll call Dr. B. Monday morning and see about getting her started on the Reglan and then add her Cushings medication back on board again. Her daddy is stopping at Costco to get her some rotiserrie chicken and I'll chop that up and see if she'll eat it. She loves it when she's feeling good. Keep the good eating thoughts coming because along with Emmy's Angels the good thoughts are working!

If you try it, get ready because it REALLY increases the appetite.

Guest IrskasMom Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am happy to hear about Emmy . Good Girl Emmy I was curious , could it be helpful in any of our Hounds spat of not Eating or is it to high in Protein for everyday use ? I just called the GNC Store at the Mall and the Clerk did like he never heard of it either . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xan Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Looking at the nutritional values, I'd say it's safe for every day use (also helps repel biting beasties like fleas and mosquitoes, who don't like B vit.s!) Too much will give some nasty gas, though! My Inspirations: Grey Pogo, borzoi Katie, Meep the cat, AND MY BELOVED DH!!!Missing Rowdy, Coco, Brilly, Happy and Wabi.
