Quick answer

Sometimes—plain, unsweetened, and tiny.

Sometimes

Watch for

Gas or diarrhea from lactose; flavored yogurts often hide xylitol or excess sugar.

Usually safe when

A small lick for calm, slow engagement when dairy has gone well before.

Usually unsafe when

Known dairy sensitivity, flavored/sweetened tubs, or any xylitol in ingredients.

Call a vet if

Facial swelling, hives, repeated vomiting, collapse, or breathing trouble.

Next step

Read ingredients aloud once; if plain and tolerated historically, use a pea-sized amount.
