<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Yes, as Part of a Comprehensive Diet
You can give a dog yogurt for a yeast infection. The best kind to give your dog is plain yogurt, such as Stoneyfield Farm yogurt or Dannon plain yogurt, according to PurelyPets.com. Along with the yogurt, feed your dog either a premium diet dog food or vegetables such as broccoli, carrots and asparagus along with meats such as beef, duck, fish, lamb and chicken.
On the Other: Check the Sugar Content
If the yogurt contains high amounts of sugar it can cause digestive problems including flatulence, diarrhea, bloating and pancreatitis, according to Vetinfo.com.
Bottom Line
If your dog has symptoms that lead you to believe that your dog has a yeast infection, take your dog to the veterinarian. The symptoms could be because of other problems such as anemia, diabetes, cancer or other diseases. Your veterinarian can help you determine the right treatment program for your dog.
