CarefulPlain, unsweetened yogurt in a spoonful is fine for most.
Check that there is no xylitol or sugar. Many adult pets are lactose intolerant; start with a teaspoon. Greek yogurt has less lactose.
What to watch for
Loose stool, gas.
If they ate it
Offer water, skip the next meal, and call your vet if vomiting or diarrhea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell.
Careful for dogs means: fine in a small amount, prepared as described, and not for every pet; the details say when to skip it.
