I have 2 dogs, a Yorkie and an 80 lb English Setter. My setter has issues with recurring urinary tract infections and the best thing for him is daily yogurt. It keeps him from getting infections as often. I just buy a carton of plain yogurt. He gets fed twice a day and I add a heaping scoop to his food.

I just got the Yorkie in January and he is always wanting to eat the Setters food because of the yogurt in it. I now will take just a small handful of my Yorkie's food and when I feed my setter (twice a day) I throw the Yorkie's food into his own dish and after I add the yogurt to the setters I just sort of wipe the spoon off into the Yorkie's dish to give his food just a touch of the flavor without him getting a lot of it.

You could try taking the dry kibble and adding just a touch of plain yogurt to it and see if he will eat that. I would use very little as Yorkie's are small. I had another English Setter who had cancer and when her stomach was upset she only ate plain yogurt, plain oatmeal (her favorite), white rice, boiled chicken and banana's. Those foods would help her get back on track so she could eat again. Unfortunately we lost her last summer. My husband's English Setter was so happy when I brought Teek home because he had always had another dog with him and he was lonely. These two hit it off really well. I realized from other dogs we have had here that he prefers small dogs to dogs his size.
