Can dogs eat plain yoghurt?

Yes, but be careful

Small amounts of plain, unsweetened yoghurt suit some dogs. Never anything sweetened — check for xylitol.

How much

A spoonful

Being honest about this

Dogs differ, and amount matters — a crumb of something rich is not the same as half a packet. Treats of any kind should stay under a tenth of what your dog eats in a day. If you're unsure, your vet would far rather take the call.
