Overview

dog-food-safety-information

Yes. Dogs can have plain lassi in moderation. This yogurt-based drink is rich in calcium and protein, which support healthy bones and muscles. Just be sure to avoid lassi that contains added sugar or spices like cardamom, cumin, ground chili powder, and turmeric, as these ingredients can upset your dog’s stomach.

Benefits

health-benefits
  • Lassi is a calcium and protein-rich drink. It promotes healthy muscle and bone development in dogs.
  • Lassi contains a probiotic organism called lactobacillus or good bacteria. This promotes smooth digestion and a healthy gastrointestinal tract.

Risks

health-risks
  • Salted lassis ( also known as Labans or Ayrans ) and sweetened lassis are the most popular types. Both are unhealthy for dogs and may cause health issues such as diabetes, kidney diseases, and dental issues if consumed frequently or in large amounts.
  • Lassi often contains spices such as cardamom, turmeric, ground chili powder, and cumin that could cause digestive issues.
  • Milk and yogurt are usually used in making lassi. Although the lactose levels are reduced due to fermentation, small amounts of lactose may still remain.
