Can Dogs Eat Amasi?

ModerateSmall Amounts

A small amount of plain amasi (fermented milk) is generally tolerated similarly to yogurt, though the same lactose-intolerance considerations that apply to dairy generally apply here too.

Why

Amasi's fermentation process reduces lactose content somewhat, similar to yogurt, which can make it easier to digest than plain milk for some dogs — but it's still a dairy product, and dogs vary in their individual tolerance.

How to serve it safely

  • Offer a small amount first to test tolerance
  • Watch for loose stools or gas, and discontinue if they occur
  • Plain, unsweetened only
