can dogs have yoghurt

Dogs can have yogurt, but it should be plain, natural, and unsweetened yogurt without any added sugars, flavors, or artificial sweeteners like xylitol, which is toxic to them. Yogurt can be beneficial as it provides probiotics for digestion, calcium, protein, and other essential nutrients. However, it should be introduced gradually and fed in moderation to monitor for any lactose intolerance or digestive upset such as diarrhea or vomiting. Greek yogurt and some plant-based plain yogurts are also safe options. Avoid flavored yogurts or those with high fat content due to potential health risks for dogs.
