Can dogs drink yogurt? Mily shares these knowledges with you

With the continuous evolution of nutrition, Dr. Martin Goldstein, a great figure in the pet nutrition industry, has made the following statement with certainty: adding yogurt to a dog's diet can provide them with protein and calcium, as well as magnesium, potassium, and vitamins D, K2 enzymes, fatty acids and probiotics etc. In conclusion, yogurt is an excellent natural supplement for your dog's health.

If your dog has been prescribed antibiotics for a digestive disorder, supplementing with lactobacillus can repopulate the gastrointestinal flora, including Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Lactobacillus paracasei, which can restore the digestive function of dogs. So, yogurt is a "superfood" in any culture.

①Yogurt and yeast infections

Yeast is a microorganism that is a fungus like mushrooms and molds, and it is common in dogs. The toxins produced by yeast can sometimes cause some health problems in dogs, such as: hives or other skin conditions; diarrhea; more frequent ear scratching; constipation etc. The best way to treat a yeast infection is to improve the diet, especially choosing a diet that contains vegetables, meat, and dairy products. For dogs, yogurt is an excellent food to aid in the treatment of yeast infections. It can help relieve the symptoms of some yeast infections, such as rashes and allergies, but it's just relief, not treatment.

②Yogurt and diarrhea

Diarrhea in dogs can be caused by many factors, and diarrhea is one of the most common symptoms in dogs. Diarrhea can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as parasites, viruses, and harmful bacteria in the body. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to more serious consequences, such as weakened immunity and dehydration. The probiotics in yogurt release lactic acid and hydrogen peroxide, which help suppress and destroy harmful bacteria that cause diarrhea in dogs.

③Yogurt and skin problems

Yogurt is a natural remedy for itchy skin, rashes and skin irritations in dogs. Some dry skin is caused by a yeast infection, and giving your dog some yogurt mixed with dog food can help them relieve the condition. But it must be remembered that yogurt cannot completely cure the dog's skin disease, but it can help relieve the dog's discomfort.

④Yogurt and dental problems

Dogs who do not pay attention to oral hygiene for a long time can develop periodontal disease. The probiotics in yogurt help prevent and fight certain bacteria that can cause dental problems in dogs. In addition, the live bacteria in yogurt are also beneficial in preventing tartar and bad breath in dogs. Of course it has to be yogurt with no sugar, no xylitol or artificial sweeteners.

⑤Yogurt and tears

Tear streaks are a common problem in older and long-haired dogs, and are often caused by a yeast infection. You can help your dog reduce tear streaks by feeding them two small spoons of plain yogurt a day.

⑥Yogurt and urinary tract infection

Yogurt is a great natural home remedy for your dog's UTI symptoms. Yogurt can help your dog relieve pain, but you should still take your dog to the hospital for treatment.

⑦Yogurt and ear infections

Dog ear infections are usually caused by factors such as moisture, yeast growth, scratches, or a weakened immune system. The most common causes are a weakened immune system and wet ears. Acidophilus helps control yeast infections, and you can talk to your veterinarian to see if plain yogurt needs to be given to your dog as a supplement.

Yogurt is great, but it's also important to give your dog the right amount of yogurt. Too much yogurt can cause skeletal deformities in dogs because chronically high amounts of yogurt can put them at chronically high calcium levels. The recommended amount of yogurt for dogs is: 1 small spoon per day for small and medium-sized dogs and 2 small spoons per day for large dogs. If the dog is eating yogurt for the first time, it should be fed as little as possible to prevent the dog from having stomach discomfort. There is also a general rule that you should limit your dog's daily yogurt intake to no more than 10% of your dog's daily calories.
