Reared nearly 100 pups on Lactol,. great stuff, but they don't half gulp it down .

I always use lactol I got told not to give dogs cows milk as they are lactose intolerant 

Isn't that a contradiction itself?

Whilst they are pups they produce an enzyme called lactase which breaks down lactose, the sugar in milk, as they get older they stop producing it so are no longer able to break down lactase and so it passes straight through. So milk from any source as pups will give calories,  calcium  etc but as adults just a drink,  bit like flavourwater but can cause loose stools in some. 

As an aside humans that have a pastoralist background tend to have evolved to produce lactase in adulthood hence our ability to digest milk throughout our lives.

Not all true I'm afraid.

All pups produce lactase and most 99%+ do so for the rest of their lifetime, but in a smaller amount after weaning.

However if a pup is started on milk at lets say 3 weeks as a supplement and fed milk on a regular basis right through its lifetime it will produce lactase at the correct rate to utilise the milk.

Humans are no different and people like myself who have drunk milk their entire life and have no issue. However you stop the supply of milk for a year and its a different story,  leading to the intolerance.

Myself I have always few my dogs from 3 weeks to 3 months on goats milk added to their meat diet and then they get milk, etc for the rest of their life.

Derived from cows milk same as human formula don't mean it's no good though like pigs milk is quite good

I’ve heard of people using baby formula for pups with good results, I wonder if that pigs milk has got a hint of bacon flavour to it
