I have copied/pasted the following about yogurt with live cultures...I also order live cultures from Canada....I will get that information for you tomorrow....when any of my dogs start to feel a little under the weather, and the stools start to loosen up, I add a little of the live cultures to their food....it is healthy and it works super!
Live Active Yogurt Cultures (i.e. healthy bacteria): The FDA requires at least two strains of bacteria in all yogurt, L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus. Yogurt makers can add more. Look for the National Yogurt Association seal: It ensures 100 million cultures per gram.
Fat content: Low-fat yogurts are the best because they have a tiny bit of fat to help absorb the protein and vitamins in the yogurt, but they also have more calcium. When fat is removed, calcium gets concentrated. Lower fat yogurts have about 30% of your recommended daily intake. Greek yogurts have 20% (because some calcium is removed through the straining process). I’d choose low fat over non fat.
Chobani Plain 0% Greek Yogurt
Fage Total 2% Greek Yogurt
Dannon Oikos Plain 0% Greek Yogurt
StonyField Farms Organic Plain Regular Yogurt
Wallaby Organic Plain Regular Yogurt (they also have Plain Greek available)
Trader Joe’s Organic Low Fat Plain Regular Yogurt
