Because drinking milk is good for people's health, many people think that drinking milk for puppies is beneficial to the healthy growth of puppies. They often kindly feed some milk to newly brought home puppies, but they do not know that puppies should not drink milk. Most people will have diarrhea after drinking milk, and may even suffer from gastrointestinal catarrh.

Milk is low in protein, low in fat, high in lactose, high in phosphorus and high in potassium, while dog milk is just the opposite, high in protein and fat, low in lactose, low in phosphorus and low in potassium. . Dogs have less lactose-degrading enzymes and decrease with age, so they cannot completely digest the lactose in milk, causing lactose intolerance. Lactose can also be fermented by microorganisms in the posterior intestine to produce gas and cause flatulence, and even lead to osmotic diarrhea.

The fat chain in milk is long and difficult for dogs to absorb, which can easily lead to volumetric diarrhea. The proportion of dry matter in milk is much lower than that in dog milk, and the main component is water, so at the same weight, the nutritional content of milk is lower.

Many dogs are lactose intolerant. Especially puppies who drink milk are more likely to cause diarrhea, dehydration, and in severe cases, death. If it is a puppy that needs breast milk but does not have a mother dog to feed it, it is best to buy pet-specific milk powder or goat milk to feed it.

There is insufficient lactase digested in the dog's intestines, and some dogs (especially puppies) are prone to diarrhea. Therefore, if you want to artificially feed puppies, you must go to a pet store to buy special dog milk powder. These milk powders have been specially processed to meet the digestive needs of dogs. It is best for dogs to drink dog milk powder or goat milk powder. The reason why dogs don’t have diarrhea after drinking milk is partly due to their physical constitution. On the other hand, it is better for the pet to absorb it when it is an adult.

Therefore, for the sake of the dog’s health, try not to feed the dog milk. Even if the dog does not have diarrhea, it will be harmful to her body. Don't let your good intentions turn into the "executioner" who hurts your dog.
