I do get your point though, and agree as pet parents we should be careful. It is something that we should watch out for. Same as giving a child pedialite everyday instead of water is also not so good for them. There are better, healthier options for everyday consumption. |
It’s not necessarily my blanket statement it’s what we were taught. The exact words from the instructor were after 9 to 10 months dogs become lactose intolerant. It wasn’t a generalization at all it was seriously what I was taught.
