Yes, most definitely.
Some vegetarians do not eat Dairy Products but, vegetarians means not "eating meat" of any kind, that's all.
So, it is your choice if you want or if you do not want to eat dairy products.
Vegans also do not eat dairy products. "Big" difference between Vegan and Vegetarian.

I am constantly surprised that so few yoghurts are suitable because of gelatine (do some of you even read the labels?!?). Some manufacturers even state whether its pork or beef gelatine - even when I ate meat I could not have touched a yoghurt that had pork listed on the ingredients.
Muller lights are out of the question but I think the corners are OK.
Most supermarket own brands are suitable - get into the habit of reading labels.
The Vegetarian society gives advice as to which additives are OK so visit their site.

There is yogurt out there that's made with soy milk instead of cows' milk. You have to read the label though. As to being suitable, if you are a vegetarian that consumes dairy products then any yogurt will be fine. If you are a vegan, does not consume any animal products, then you will need to be a little more choosy and look for yogurt made with soy milk.

Some shop-bought yoghurt contains gelatine and is therefore unsuitable. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the colouring was non-vegetarian sometimes, but i don't know.

Back in my vegetarian (now vegan) days, I never once saw a chocolate yoghurt without gelatine in it - so watch out for them!

Some are, but some are not. Some yogurts have gelatin or carmine (eww to both). But if you get soy yogurt, they'll be suitable. Stonyfield's O'Soy isn't suitable for vegans, though, as it has milk product in it.

Well, I don't think eating pus and contributing to animal cruelty is "suitable" for everyone, but w/e.
By definition, as yogurt is not animal flesh, vegetarians do eat it, but the ethical ones are blatant hypocrites, of course.

Look for a brand that doesn't contain gelatin (easier said than done) and it will be suitable for a vegetarian.

If you buy the right one. There is O'Soy yogurt. Tofuti ice cream, soy dream bars. Look at the label . If it says suitable for Vegan it is totally Vegan.

Varies & you need to check - technically it should be but companies love to load our food with unnecessary junk. Watch out for gelatine and carmine/ cochineal. Anything suitable for vegans will definately be suitable for you too.
