Can I give my dog frozen yogurt? Is it safe and what should I watch for?

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.
