A closer look at strawberry yogurt
Strawberries themselves are fine for dogs. The issue is the added sugar in fruit-on-the-bottom tubs, and the sugar alcohols used in the reduced-sugar versions. The details below use the specific facts for this exposure, rather than treating it like every other food question.
1. Start with the exact exposure
For a closely related comparison, read Vanilla Yogurt. No toxic dose for the standard sweetened kind. A xylitol-sweetened tub is worth a call no matter how little was eaten.
2. Use the facts to decide whether to monitor or call
Another helpful reference is Plain Yogurt. Usually yes for the ordinary version. Plain yogurt with a fresh strawberry in it does the same job without the sugar. Xylitol or birch sugar on the label, vomiting that repeats, or a diabetic dog.
3. If the details are uncertain
Follow the first 10 minutes guide. Read the label for xylitol or birch sugar, then offer water and watch the stool.
