I thought that dairy products were bad for dogs, but you recommend yogurt. Isn't yogurt dairy?

Yogurt is a dairy product but doesn’t seem to cause the problems of other dairy, like milk or cottage cheese. Dairy products contain lactose which is sugar, sugar feeds yeast and cancer cells. For a dog with yeasty ears or skin problems I would avoid ALL dairy, including yogurt. We mainly use yogurt for puppies, new moms and dogs who have had to be on antibiotics.

Yogurt contains beneficial organisms that help with digestion, so it can be helpful for dogs with gas or diarrhea.

I don’t feed it often, but it can be helpful when feeding a raw or commercial diet.
