Is flavored fruit yogurt safe for my puppy to eat as a healthy treat?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, puppies can have a small amount of yogurt. I think frozen yogurt pops for this would a great idea. Make sure that the yogurt does not contain the sugar substitute xylitol as that is toxic to dogs. Good luck and have a good day!

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to reach out to our experts about feeding your dog frozen yogurt. While it is safe to feed frozen yogurt, moderation is important. Plain frozen yogurt with no sweeteners is best as too much sugar, just as with humans, is not the healthiest option. Avoid artificial sweeteners, especially xylitol, as these can be toxic and cause health problems. Feeding small portions is best and take care in paying attention to the additional calories that are being added into the diet, especially with obese prone animals. Yogurt can be a good addition to a bland diet as well. However, if you are seeking the benefits of the probiotics in yogurt for your dog, look at veterinary specific probiotics as these contain probiotics specific to a pet's natural biome.

In general I don't recommend to give yogurt to dogs because dairy tends to upset the stomach. If Simba seems to really like yogurt and it does not cause him to have diarrhea or an upset tummy, you can give him a small amount as a treat (no more than 1 teaspoon). I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

In minimal quantity it could be fine, but be aware they may cause diarrhoea and stomach upset. It would be best to getting him used to carrots and similar healthy treats which can be then used for training as well.

A little bit of peanut butter here and there to encourage your pet to either take special medication or behave at the vet is ok to do. However I wouldn't make it a go-to treat because it is very fattening and can also lead to pancreatitis (inflamed pancreas) over time if it is given in excess. Feeding regular dog treats is a better option. I hope this helps and take care of that fur baby.

Yes, it's okay for a 2 month old puppy to have small bites of apple and banana as an occasional treat. I would not recommend giving large amounts, as this may upset his stomach and cause some diarrhea.

It is best to get probiotics from your veterinarian as the bacteria in a dog's gastrointestinal system are different from those for humans or cows. If you cannot get those, you can feed small amounts of natural (live) yoghurt with his food.
