Is raw goat milk safe for dogs with digestive issues and allergies?

It's not likely to have any effect on him, milk allergy is usually due to sensitivity to lactose which is the sugar molecule in the milk, it's not related to this bacteria called lactobacillus acidophilus. there should be no issues with other probiotics either.

As dogs age and get weaned off of their mother's milk, they lose an enzyme that breaks down the protein in milk. Without this enzyme they can get diarrhea and other gastrointestinal upsets when they drink milk. Generally, we advise owners not to feed their dogs milk once they are over three months old. An allergy to the milk is also possible, but not very common and would similarly cause gastrointestinal problems. I hope that helps and all is well with Snowie.

No, do not give your dog milk. Dairy is never recommended to give to dogs because it causes GI upset. There are kibble diets that are formulated with proteins that aren't made from chicken, such as rabbit, lamb, duck, and beef. Eukcanuba has a lamb and rice kibble, that may be a good option for your dog. I hope this helps!

Adverse reaction to kitten formulas is not common, instead of switching to goat milk i would just switch to a different formula. regarding the SC Clindamycin, i do not understand why your vet would give this antibiotic to a young kitten in the first place so it is a good thing has now been stopped. regarding the skin i would recommend waiting a couple weeks before deciding if it needs to be treated or not, it might resolve without treatment.

Forti-Flora (made by Purina) is approved for use in pets with food allergies. Although it is beef-flavored, the flavoring is made from a hydrolyzed protein that cannot trigger any allergic response - so this is my usual "go-to" probiotic choice for a pet with allergies like this.

Most dogs do not tolerate cows milk. As they get older they do not have the proper enzymes to digest the lactose in the milk. I do know of some people who give their dogs milk and never have any problems. Baby girl does need a regimen of regular dog food though to ensure she is getting all the proper nutrients. If Babygirl commonly has an upset stomach the milk could actually be the problem. If she commonly has problems with her stomach, I would have your vet take a look at her to make sure there isn’t something else going on like intestinal parasites or a bacterial infection. Your vet will be able to talk to you in detail about her diet and the amount of milk she is receiving and whether taking off the milk will actually be more beneficial for her and her tummy. I hope this helps!

Great question! The person who told you dairy products are not good for dogs is correct. It's never recommended to give dogs dairy products because it causes GI upset. As for home made foods, your friend is also correct they typically aren't good for dogs. That's because that many home made diets are not nutritionally balanced, and your dog won't be getting all the nutrients they need. I personally recommend feeding a dog formulated food, but if you want to feed a homemade diet, I will put links to two websites below that have recipes for homemade dog foods that are nutritionally balanced. I hope this helps :-) https://secure.balanceit.com https://www.petdiets.com
