Question about goats milk for my Yorkie Pup Hello! My name is Scirrocco, I have taken on the task of caring for a 5 week old yorkie pup. For some reason the mother stopped caring for the puppy. My Yorkie is energetic and is eating wet food at the moment. She does not seem to be having any issues and eats like a beast. I have read that she should be provided goats milk mixed in with her wet food. Is this true? If so how long should I provide goats milk for my puppy and in what portion. I have also heard that condensed goats milk from the baking isle at a super market will be fine as long as it is one part goats milk and one part water. Thanks |
I gave mine fresh Goat's milk at weaning time but separate from the softened puppy food. I also gave some puppy formula to Roxy my little firecracker because did not do well with weaning. I grew up in Woodbridge, NJ- Small world. |
Goats milk or commercially prepared puppy milk replacement can be used. I would go for fresh goats milk if it is available. Don't see any reason to put it in canned food though. If you are softening dry food it may be fine but should not be left around for long periods of time. |

I use the canned goats milk, one can of milk to one can of water, I keep it in the fridge and mix the puppy kibble, the soft puppy food and the goat's milk to a gruel consistency, I use it from 5 weeks to 10 weeks old, then I slowly wean them off the milk and soft food to the kibble by the time they are 12 weeks and are ready to go home.. hugs, |
