Okay, so I need to share this because honestly, I had no idea about frozen yogurt frozen yogurt until my dog Molly got into some. I thought, "It's just food, how bad can it be?" Big mistake.
Yes, dogs can eat plain frozen yogurt occasionally as a treat. However, some frozen yogurts, like the chocolate-flavored variety, are dangerous.
Watching Molly go through this was heartbreaking.
as with all human food, you must consult your vet before feeding your dog any new dietary additions.
Though most commercial frozen yogurt contains dairy and refined sugar, which aren’t good for your pup in high amounts, a small amount will not harm your dog..
If you’re at a frozen yogurt shop and want to split a cup of vanilla frozen yogurt with your dog, your pup will most likely enjoy the tasty, sweet treat and be completely fine..
One thing to note is that many sugar-free commercial frozen yogurts contain xylitol, an artificial sweetener that can kill dogs, even in small amounts.
If you’re feeding your pup commercial frozen yogurt, you should be sure that the treat doesn’t contain xylitol..
I learned this the hard way, but at least Molly is okay now.
the best option for feeding your dog frozen yogurt is to get them a dog-friendly variety.
Commercial frozen yogurts that contain xylitol as an additive are completely unsafe for your pup.
If your dog has eaten frozen yogurt with xylitol as an ingredient, you should take them to the vet immediately.
Also, keep in mind that some frozen yogurt toppings may not be suitable for dogs, especially if they contain chocolate, raisins, or xylitol.
Additionally, some candies could be a choking hazard for dogs.
This was definitely a learning experience for me. Molly depends on me to keep him safe, and I'm trying to do better every day.
