Yes, I feed Hoki low fat natural (bio) yogurt.

Not sure if there are really any health benefits (some say good for their stomachs), but I find it is a useful low fat filler for frozen kongs and one she really likes (but then she really likes anything to eat )

I use Narural Bio Yoghurt if they are a bit loose and it seems to help. Mine are big dogs so I give a heaped tablespon sull or so over their dinner. With the little ones I give a heaped teaspoon full

Don't use it regularly except that he cleans out the pot after I've had it but on my vet's recommendation I always feed natural bio yoghurt for 2 or 3 days after they've had a course of antibiotics. In my vet's words it puts the good bugs back & helps their digestion return to normal.
I never feed yoghurt with antibiotics, but that's just because my doctor warned me I must not take yoghurt when taking antibiotics so I do the same with the dogs in case.

i use bio yogurt when mine have a funny tummy, 1 or 2 heaped tablespoons twice a day for a few days and it sorts them out, and if i have a fussy eater i add some honey too, then they gobble it up

It might help with digestive problems. I occasionally give about a spoonful of natural or one that is sugar-free for babies.

I'm confused here I feed low fat yoghurt, are you all freezing it in the Kong or using it like ice cream
