Do you need to add milk to puppy rice?

Many friends feed puppies for fear that the puppies will not be nutritionally sufficient. I like to feed it a little milk, or add milk to dog food. In fact, this approach is quite wrong.

Many healthy puppies will develop diarrhea and vomiting after eating and drinking milk. In severe cases, the puppies may even die of dehydration.

This is because the ingredients of dog milk and cow's milk are completely different. Dog milk contains high protein, high fat and low lactose, while cow's milk contains low protein, low fat and high lactose. The ingredients of the two are exactly the opposite, and the intestines of puppies cannot Absorb and digest milk.

In fact, puppies after weaning do not need to supplement milk powder as long as the feed mix is ​​reasonable.

If you must supplement milk for puppies, it is best to use special dog milk powder. If you really can’t buy it, you can mix a small amount of baby milk powder into rice cereal and give it to the puppies. Start with a small amount and then increase the amount of milk powder as the puppies gradually adapt.
