Is my green fruit smoothie with almond milk safe for my dog?

According to the list of ingredients on the package this almond milk does not contain xylitol but cane sugar as a sweetening agent. So, in that respect you do not have to worry about your dog having ingested xylitol with this almond milk. I think the worst that will happen is that your dog may get a little diarrhea from the almond milk, if this was a new food to him.

Almond milk isn’t toxic, and a small amount would be okay occasionally. Some cats have sensitive stomachs and anything outside of their normal food can cause diarrhea. I also wouldn’t recommend giving any milk with sugar or other sweeteners.

It is not recommended to give most dogs milk. Milk can upset the tummy. Milk is safe in small amounts (like a teaspoon) but it may upset the tummy even in small quantities. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Milk is very hard on a dog's digestive tract and may cause stomach upset or diarrhea. If Elma likes the taste of milk, a lactose-free variety or even "cat milk" from your local pet store (that is milk like but less hard on the stomach) may help entice Elma's eating without upsetting her stomach.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chloe. It sounds like you are giving her a small amount of the almond butter. The two concerns that I have is that it is high in calories and can lead to weight gain in such a small dog. Secondly, the high fat content can predispose dogs to gastrointestinal upset. If she has vomiting, diarrhea or weight gain, then I would stop feeding it. If she is tolerating it well, then the small amount is likey fine. You can also try Pill Pockets as an alternative. I hope this information helps!

Hello, Scooby can have milk in his food as long as he tolerates it well. Some dogs may have hypersensitivity to milk proteins so if Scooby develops any diarrhea or vomiting with the milk than discontinue sprinkling milk on his food. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Miki! I think it depends what kind of Almond oil you are referring to: Food grade or Essential oil that may have other ingredients? It also depends on how much she actually ingested. Food grade almond oil contains a lot of fat and essential oil I'd worry about the other chemicals. The fat in food grade can cause stomach upset (vomit, diarrhea, not eating) or pancreatitis. Since she seems fine I would recommend watching her closely for GI upset. I would also consider feeding her a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice for 3-5 days. I hope this helps!
