Can dogs eat Greek yogurt?

Overview

Yes, Greek yogurt can be fed to dogs if you opt for the plain or naturally flavored varieties. However, avoid flavors that are dangerous to dogs, such as lemon, lime, macadamia nuts, coffee and chocolate. In addition, Greek yogurt with artificial sweeteners must be avoided as some of them are highly toxic to dogs.

Benefits

Greek yogurt is high in calcium.
It is packed with protein that supports tissue repair and muscle development and improves skin and coat quality in dogs.
Greek yogurt contains probiotics that ensure smooth digestion in dogs.
Greek yogurt has lower lactose content than regular yogurt, so it is less likely to trigger an allergic reaction in lactose-intolerant dogs.

Risks

Some Greek yogurt may contain artificial flavors and sweeteners, particularly xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
Greek yogurt might trigger allergy reactions to dogs with dairy-sensitive.
