mums dog ADORES natural yogurt!!! he has it the odd time when he's been really really good. he's currently on a diet.......

If you look at the dog milk sold in pet shops/supermarkets, the main ingrediend is goats milk so I guess it must be ok.

My terrier cant seem to get on with milk at all. Apparently they produce an enzyme to digest it while feeding from mum. When they stop feeding, the enzyme is no longer produced unless you continue to give them milk. I can only assume that because Heidi hasnt always had milk, she no longer produces the enzyme.

Goat or sheep milk products yes. Cows milk products, no.

many dogs are lactose intolerant and tummy upsets are frequently caused by giving cows milk. puppy milk, goats or sheeps milk is ok but to be honest all a pup or dog needs is fresh water.
