Why does everyone think it is bad to give your pets plain, no sugar, yogurt?

I have researched this and have several books that recommend it. I have also been using it for years and years on my pets. It is great when they have diarrhea or are on antibiotics. Small amounts are good for their digestive tract.|||Actually my vet says it's a good thing to give a dog or cat after they've had a week or two on antibiotics, the yougurt helps re-establish the stomach and intestinal flora that may have been killed by antibiotic treatments.|||I don't think it's bad (as long as it is in moderation).





It's also great for freezing in a Kong toy for dogs! :)|||Yougurt can be good for animals in small amounts. They even make doggy frozen yogurt for summer time.|||It depends on the pet- birds are supposed to be terribly lactose intolerant (think about it- they don't nurse milk from the mom after birth). Some dogs and cats get sick because technically, no mammal is supposed to be lactose tolerant once off mom's milk. It's a biological thing- it just so happens that some of us are still tolerant.
