Dairy for Boston Terriers?

Hello, we have just adopted a 9 month old male Boston Terrier. He is great! He's a little big for a BT...weighing in at 27lbs. He's 18" long and when he sits, the top of his head is about 20" from the floor.

We just took him to his first vet appointment here in New York City and the doctor suggested something very interesting for Spencer's diet. He said a dry/wet mix is good for his first meal. But his second meal of the day should be dairy, like cottage cheese or yogurt. When I heard this I thought it was crazy, but the doctor has been treating the breed for 40 years...he's like 80!

I would just like to hear what others think about this. I trust this doctor and I know that he would not suggest something harmful. He has four Bostons of his own and they have the same diet. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
