A puppy that has just been brought home always makes people want to hold it in their hands and take care of it, but feeding the wrong amount of milk can cause big trouble! Today we’re going to talk about puppies drinking milk to help you avoid feeding misconceptions~
- Potential risks of puppies drinking pure milk
Lactose intolerance: After weaning, the intestinal lactase in puppies decreases, and pure milk can easily lead to diarrhea and bloating
Nutritional imbalance: The protein/fat ratio of milk differs significantly from that of dog milk, and long-term consumption may lead to malnutrition
Allergy risk: Some puppies are allergic to milk protein and may experience symptoms such as skin itching - Safer alternative solutions
Pet specific formula: closest to dog milk ingredients, containing probiotics to aid digestion
Goat milk replacement: Low lactose content, smaller molecules, easy to absorb (no additives required)
Transition tip: Dilute milk with warm water 1:1 for emergency use only - Special case handling
If a puppy experiences diarrhea after accidentally drinking milk: Stop eating for 12 hours and observe with a small amount of warm water
Weak constitution puppies: It is recommended to consult a veterinarian before choosing dairy products
Warm suggestion: For puppies over 2 months old, it is recommended to soak the puppy food in warm water to soften it, which can not only replenish water but also exercise chewing ability. Remember to observe your bowel movements for 3 days every time you try a new food!
