I have a quart of Lactose-free milk in my fridge all the time. I especially starting using it for my 17-year-old cat that was losing weight and couldn't eat well. Milk was one of the few foods that she would even eat at that time.
My dogs have a little milk every once in a while. They like it, and it has never bothered either one of them. They have never gotten diarrhea from it. But --this milk is lactose-free.
I have never seen any reason to give my dogs much milk. When they are thirsty - they love their water. And few of the foods they eat need added milk.
But - if you want to give your dog some milk occasionally - get lactose-free milk - and let them have some once in a while.
