A couple of thoughts - In Georgia it is illegal to sell raw, unpasteurized milk for human consumption, but can sell it for animal consumption. Many people purchase this milk for their own consumption and/or butter making. An easy way to get around the agricultural laws.

I would be very cautious about giving raw milk to my furkids. I would have to be absolutely comfortable that the goat herd was healthy and kept clean and the humans milking the goats were "clean" and took special care as far as cleanliness when milking and handling the milk.
The only reason I was considering is b/c the friend that brought it up absolutely adores his dogs and seemed to have done his research properly. Also, I trust his character. I honestly believe he will not feed his dogs anything unless he's sure it's coming from a safe place.

Thanks everyone for your inputs! I think I will try out a bottle and see how the furbutts take it.
