Principles for Feeding Dogs Milk
Alaskan Malamute (detailed introduction)
Most people do not feed their dogs dog food or snacks when they first bring them home; they usually choose milk as their food. However, we need to pay attention that it is best not to feed puppies cow’s milk because it can cause intestinal discomfort. So what milk should we feed them? Let’s talk about the principles of feeding dogs milk.
1. Fresh milk is best not fed to dogs, as this kind of fresh milk can cause diarrhea and loose stools, so it is not suitable for any type of dog.
2. Skimmed milk can be fed to adult dogs and puppies; this type of milk is relatively safer.
3. For dogs, goat milk is easier for their bodies to accept and absorb than cow’s milk.
4. Even if milk has no side effects on dogs, it should not be fed long term. After all, it is only a nutritional supplement for dogs, not a necessity. The principle of "too much of anything is harmful" is well known to pet owners.
5. If your dog has a weak constitution, try not to choose "milk" as a supplement; if it causes diarrhea, it may risk your dog's life.
6. If you think it is necessary to supplement your dog's nutrition but the dog is not suitable for milk, then you can choose some baby formula or dog-specialized milk powder; of course, the price will be higher!
7. Feeding dogs some yogurt can have good benefits!
