Yes ,my dog loves milk. I use it to train her to come inside when I let her out at night for her business.We live in the forest so there are many interesting things to chase. I stand on guard and call her to come in and she returns quickly rewarded by a small portion of milk.
That's great, but not all people food is good for them. You should also be really careful with feeding too much people food--scraps and foods cooked for human consumption should never make up more than a third of your dog's diet--and I'd say that it should be even less to ensure the health and safety of your dog.
Keeping people food from your pet is easier said than done. Your pet is very often your constant companion. That includes being by your side when you are eating. So it does take some effort to keep people food from your pet.
I was under the impression that you shouldn't give dogs and cats cows milk because it could cause intestinal problems and give them diarrhea.
My dog loves milk as well. When he was a puppy I normally would give him a lot more milk, because he has gotten much bigger I hardly give him milk anymore. Milk doesn't seem to affect his stool either.
Mine love's milk, even now that he is no longer a puppy, he can finish 3 glass of milk for a single meal. This is probably because of he's very fast metabolism and he made eating as a hobby. I love to give him milk to stay healthy and I think it is working because he is always energetic. So, you should probably keep feeding milk to your dog every day.
Dogs can drink milk, nothing wrong with that. In the old days milk was part of their diet, there was no "kibble" to feed the dogs they ate whatever the household could provide. Some dogs tolerate it well, some have more sensitive stomachs and can get loose bowls. As a treat though yogurt or cottage cheese works better.
Dogs will eat/drink just about anything lol I used to give milk to dogs but don't anymore simply because it is not good for them. It gives them bad gas and upsets their tummies. However I did learn that once milk is turned into cheese, it is ok to give to dogs. I will look it up again to find the exact reason but it has something to do with a certain type of lactose being converted into the type that is ok for a dogs stomach. Yogurt is great for them though! Good for digestion and probiotics!
I don't give mine straight milk, so I don't know. I do make his gravy with milk often times, though, so I know he's not lactose intolerant. Speaking of, if anyone has issues with the dog's stools/gassiness after giving them milk, that's a pretty good sign that they are intolerant and you shouldn't continue giving them milk or dairy products.
My veterinarian told me that giving my little baby milk could be dangerous for her health, as there are many dogs who are lactose intolerant. She said that, should I give her milk, I should try to give her that of the lactose-free variety. However, it doesn't seem she's too particularly fond of drinking milk.
