🛡 Safety First – Read Before Making
- No honey for puppies under 12 months — It can contain bacteria harmful to young dogs.
- Use plain, unsweetened yogurt — Flavored or sweetened varieties often have added sugar or xylitol, which is toxic to dogs.
- Check for lactose intolerance — If your dog shows signs like gas, diarrhea, or bloating after dairy, use coconut yogurt instead.
- Blueberry allergies are rare but possible — Introduce gradually.
