feeding milk

[shelly 0]

hi every one i was just wondering is milk good or bad for your dog some people say it gives the dogs worms and others say its very good for them what do yous think.

I wouldn't give Cow's milk as it's really hard to digest. Goat's milk is much easier to digest and I don't see a problem with feeding that, I feed it to my two occasionally with no problems. It's not needed at all but I don't see a problem with it as an occasional treat.

 

 

I've no idea how it could give them worms as long as it's been treated...sounds like a myth to me.

ive always gave my dogs a drink of milk and its never done any harm

Science says that dogs can't tolerate lactose, but I've never had a problem giving mine a bit: milk a bit gone off, dregs from cereal bowls, sometimes just a cupful because I feel like it: never a problem, but I wouldn't give them loads of the stuff as they don't need it.

Worms.. They eat sheep shit, other shit, sniff every bit of piss or shit available. Munch on rabbits, rats, fox, and all other vermin. eat raw meat, and you are worried about milk(which we have) giving them worms, lol..

 

 

It doesnt benifit them but i dont think it does to much harm.... dont worry.

My friend is a professional Greyhound trainer with over 50 racing dogs in his kennels. He gives his dogs and pups cows milk and says he has no problems with doing this!

I use kiddies powdered milk shelly. In the crap weather i give it to um warm after their walk, usually i give 1/3 of a pint each (as iv got 3 dogs) in a bowl with a crushed up weetabix each (ie: 3 bowls, 3 crushed weetabixs and 1 pint spread equally). I mix a few t spoons of gravy granules in the milk powder because it helps the flavour and makes it more attractive for them. You can add all the dietary bits and bobs too, cod liver oil capsules, vitamin pills etc. If they have been working extra hard in really hot or cold weather it helps their recovery to include half a t spoon of salt and half a t spoon of sugar.

some dogs not all are lactose intolerant,if fed the correct balanced diet,then theres no need for any other pills or milk

I have two dogs. One can take milk with no problems. The other gets explosive diarrhoea. I don't bother giving it to either. I don't drink it myself.

I know its slightly off topic but would it be a good or bad idea to give pups the milk made up from dried milk powder that farmers give orphaned to lambs.Its cheep enough and from what i have seen the dogs love it but could it cause more harm than good. What do you think
