Well their mothers yes.

But if you want to give them cow milk than it may not be good for them. But if your planning on giving them milk later on, then start when they are about 6weeks old because most dogs get diarrhea and some get sick. Therefore, its better to get them used to the milk early on.

Well, dogs are mammals. Mammals drink milk from their mother, so the answer is probably yes. I give my dog milk sometimes, and nothing happens to my dog. However, you must not give too much milk to a dog. A lot of milk might upset the stomach. It is best if you give your dog a little at least 2-4 times a week.

Companies, such as Welpi and Royal Canine sell their own specially formulated powder milk for puppies; the mother dog should be eating high protein meals with calcium supplements such as tinnes meat, with a calcium tablet each day. These can be bought from the vets, as can the powdered milk for the puppies, however depending on the puppies' age, they should be drinking their mother's milk? and weaned onto puppy porridge, then solids. Puppy powdered milk should only be fed in an emergency.

Strictly speaking, nothing can drink powdered milk, which is a solid. However, I believe you are asking, can puppies drink milk made from powdered milk?

The answer to this question is yes, although it is not an ideal situation. Puppies should drink milk from their mother, as this provides the optimal nutrition and all the immune system support that the puppies need. If the mother is not available, or is not producing enough milk, the next option should be commercial puppy milk replacer.

Reconstituted powdered milk should be used as a last resort, because it is not balanced nutrition for the puppy and lacks the antibodies that are normally present in maternal milk.
