My puppy drank a full 9oz bottle of dairy milk. Will he be okay?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 6 days old

I’m very worried. I just woke up from a nap and my grandpa has given my puppy a full 9oz bottle of dairy milk to him. He won’t listen and does it when I’m asleep and says that dairy milk will not hurt a dog, that all vets are liars. I don’t know what to tell him or do. Will he be okay? Should I expect anything after the full bottle of milk?

It's not recommended to give dogs a lot of dairy products because it causes stomach upset in the form of vomiting and diarrhea. I can assure you that your grandfather is wrong, we are not liars. You may see vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, or a loss of appetite from this. If you do see it, have Ollie seen by a vet.
