Is plain yogurt safe for my cat?

Cats · Food safety
Short answer

Yes, plain unsweetened yogurt with live cultures is safe for cats in small amounts. The main risk is added sweeteners—avoid anything with xylitol or artificial sweeteners. If your cat eats a small bite, just watch for mild stomach upset like vomiting or diarrhea. If they eat a large amount or the yogurt contains any risky ingredients, call your vet or the ASPCA Poison Control line at 888-426-4435.
