My best guess is that the small amount she would consume is not harmful... and if you think about how much she would have in a month, it may not amount to much... but maybe think about should you be eating splenda? Here is a website about toxicity:
Sucralose (Splenda) Toxicity Information Center
Yogurt is actually a great supplement and treat for dogs if it's has healthy ingredients in the first place. I like to buy a big tub of Stonyfield Farm plain organic yogurt and the dogs can have a spoonful straight from that or mixed in their food.
On a side note I ordered an iced coffee from Dunkin Donuts today with extra sugar and the man repeated back to me "extra splenda". I had NO IDEA they used Splenda because they always refer to it as "sugar". I explained to him that this does make a huge difference to some people and stop sneaking splenda into my coffee!
Never been a fan of artificial sweeteners, I think they're worse than whatever perceived negative effects real sugar has. (Unless of course someone is diabetic but that's a different story.)
