Yogurt and Honey: The Breakfast of Champions (And Why It Matters More Than You Think)

Let’s talk about something that looks simple but isn’t: breakfast. And not just any breakfast—the breakfast for our puppies. Yogurt, biscuits, a drizzle of honey… yeah, they love it. But that’s not the only reason I give it to them.

What they eat during this stage makes a huge difference in their development.

Feeding a puppy is no joke

We’re talking about big breeds here. Heavy ones. Dogs that go from 400 grams to 50, 60 kilos in a year. Cane Corsos, Argentine Dogos, Bullmastiffs, Dobermans… giants.

You can’t just toss them whatever. Nutrition matters. Big time. Day in, day out… over time, it shows. In their muscles, their coat, their energy, their personality—everywhere.

Honey: tiny, powerful and… controversial?

Yeah, I’ve been criticized for adding honey. People say it’s sugar, it’s bad… listen, I’ve been doing this for 20 years. I’ve seen what it does.

Just a bit, okay? Not a bowlful. A little drizzle. It’s packed with vitamin C, B1, B2, B3, B5… it helps the immune system, it’s healing, it’s pure energy. The key is how much you give.

Don’t overdo it. But if you use it right? You’ll see the difference.

Yogurt and probiotics: digestive superheroes

And yogurt—don’t even get me started. My pups love it. You should see them licking the bowls clean. It’s a joy.

But beyond that? Yogurt (or kefir) is magic for their digestive system. It sets them up for success, especially if you’re transitioning from dry kibble.

So many people in South America, for example—Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Mexico—they call it “balanced food” or “balanced kibble,” and switching to a natural diet feels scary.

This is where probiotics help. They make the shift easier. And puppies feel better.

What if they don’t like it?

It happens. Some pups don’t go crazy for honey or yogurt. That’s okay. They’re all different. Try, observe, adjust. But when you see them enjoy it? It’s priceless.

It’s not just food. It’s character. It’s future health.

Feeding your puppy right isn’t optional. It’s foundational. And breakfasts like these? They’re part of raising a champion.

Try it. Watch your puppy grow stronger, healthier, happier. That’s the real reward.

And hey—if you’ve got questions, I’m always happy to help. Let’s raise some legends, one bite at a time.
