<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: No Medical Effect
According to the WellVet website, the bacteria in yogurt does not have any diarrhea-stopping benefits for either humans or dogs.
On the Other: Soothing Effect
WellVet recommends feeding your dog a bland homemade diet for a few days as a way to treat acute diarrhea; in this diet they suggest adding 1 to 3 tablespoons of plain yogurt because it has a soothing effect on the intestines and can make your dog feel more comfortable while the diarrhea runs its course.
Bottom Line
Add a portion of 1-3 tablespoons of yogurt to each bland meal fed to a dog with diarrhea for a couple of days to soothe the dog's intestines.
