milk

Hey

Since sunday i have been giving my pup some semi skimmed milk threw out the day to drink but i have just been told thats not a good idea for there stomachs? i also have fresh water beside his bowl but he doesnt really go nere that much tho perhaps having milk beside the water im guessing hes gonna choose the milk,so should i just stop the milk then and give him only water

I hear you can buy puppy milk from pets at home etc but im not going to do that

Dogs cannot digest Lactose, and so ordinary cows milk is actually very bad for them and even worse for puppies! It can cause very bad stomach upsets which in pups can be fatal, as diarreah causes dehydration very rapidly.

I would cut the milk out entirely, although milk specifically for dogs can be given in small quantities as can a small amount of goat's milk.

I'm not sure what the puppy milk is but I don't think you are suppose to feed normal milk, sure someone else will be able to confirm.

wow ok ,water it is then !!

Thank you

Puppy milk is either semi skimmed goat's milk (much lower in Lactose than cow's milk) or milk specially treated to remove the Lactose.

I see, good to know, thanks
