Is skim milk powder safe for dogs?

I want to make a homemade peanut butter truffles for Christmas as I have a small dog bakery business. I need a base to mix with the peanut butter and as I live in Canada the yogurt powder is hard to come by and very expensive to have shipped to Canada. I was wondering if using skim milk powder would be safe? Thank you, this is a great site!

Chef's Answer ~ Skim milk powder is just dehydrated (or spray dried) milk, so it is safe for dogs. Some dogs are sensitive to lactose, so you may want to consider an alternative for those customers. Your Peanut Butter Truffles sound yummy, I hope they turn out well! :)
