Can my puppy eat yogurt? What's a safe amount for my dog to have?

As long as the yogurt is not low-sugar or sugar free (containing artificial sugars as those are toxic to dogs,) it should be fine to give a small amount as a treat. However, if you are using it as a probiotic supplement, plain, unflavored yogurt is best long-term.

It is not recommended to give most dogs milk. Milk can upset the tummy. Milk is safe in small amounts (like a teaspoon) but it may upset the tummy even in small quantities. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

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.

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.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Cats and dogs are actually lactose intolerant and dairy products can cause tummy upset consisting of vomiting and/or diarrhea. If Tilly tolerates yogurt just give it in moderation. I hope this helps!

Hello. Dogs do enjoy the same peanut butter we eat, but they do make peanut butter treats for dogs, too. If you do give Simba people peanut butter, make sure it does not contain the sugar alcohol xylitol as this is dangerous for dogs. You will only find this in sugar free versions of peanut butter. Otherwise, just give Simba very small amounts because too much peanut butter will make her fat. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
