Dogs and cats both are lactose interolant (all of them). They cannot digest the lactose in the milk so it passes through their digestive system. Too much can give them diarrhea because they cannot digest it (just like a person that is lactose intolerant). Giving occasional milk product is normally okay but too much is a bad thing. If you really want to give your dog milk, buy lactose-free milk.
