Can My Dog Eat Greek Yoghurt?

Can My Dog Eat Greek Yoghurt?

  • Not a substitute for professional veterinary help.

Yes. Unless your dog is lactose intolerant, plain Greek yoghurt is better and safer for dogs than other types of yoghurt. It contains more concentrated levels of probiotics (live cultures of bacteria), which do good things for a dog’s gut. Greek yoghurt is particularly helpful for dogs taking antibiotics, which kill off some of the good bacteria in a dog’s gut. The probiotics in Greek yoghurt also fight yeast infections, which can help dogs with recurring ear or skin infections.

Just be sure to avoid flavoured or sweetened Greek yoghurt, as dogs don’t need the added sugar.

Serving Ideas

  • Share a few licks of Greek yoghurt with your dog when you make your morning smoothie.
  • Add a small serving of Greek yoghurt on top of your dog’s food.
  • If your dog is taking antibiotics, offer him a few spoonfuls of Greek yoghurt several hours after taking his medicine.
  • You can buy probiotics made for canines and serve these instead of Greek yoghurt.
