Is milk good for a dog when they get sick?

Answer 1

Feeding your dog milk can result in quite bad diahrrea. However if your dog is constipated a small amount of milk may loosen up his/her bowels. But a lot of dogs are lactose-intolerant which means they cannot have any dairy products as it can be harmful, especially in cases of severe diahrrea. There is milk availble on the market which has had the lactose removed from it.

Answer 2

Yes milk is good for dogs. Its good for them because as puppies they live off of their mothers milk because it has the nutrients they need to grow. As they get older it is still good to get these nutrients, even if its from a cow.
