It's absolutely OK. In fact, yogourt and blueberries are great foods for a dog to eat, in reasonable quantities. The yogourt is actually really good for digestion. It contains good bacteria (lactobacillus among others) that help break down food. A large dog (70lbs) could benefit from a cup of plain yogourt every day.

Yogurt is actually a very healthy treat for dogs, in small quantities. Large amounts might cause problems such as diarrhea, but your dog should be fine.

The most abundant sugar in dairy products is lactose, which requires an enzyme called lactase to be able to digest it and avoid symptoms of lactose intolerance, such as bloating, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. All mammals have high levels of lactase when they are young but the ability to digest lactose generally decreases with age. And as in humans, cats have varying levels of tolerance to lactose. In addition to lactose, milk contains casein, which accounts for about 75% of protein products in milk. A diet consisting of a very high level of casein has been linked to Retinal Degeneration in cats because it interferes with the normal absorption of other nutrients. However, cat owners feeding a well-balanced diet containing small amounts of dairy should not be concerned with this. If your cat has been fed small amounts of dairy products and not only seems to enjoy it but suffered from no ill effects, then feeding small amounts of dairy products such as cream several times a week will do no harm. However, if your cat has never tasted dairy and since milk is not necessary if your cat is being fed a balanced diet, it is advisable to simply omit this from their diet.

She probably will be fine and would love to share more yogurt with you. Best not to give her the fruit flavor because of the sugar.

She'll be fine. If you can eat it, your dog sure can. Beside food like wheat. The animals like cat and dog are not supposed to have wheat because their digestive system isn't designed to digest wheat. They are carnivore.
