can yorkies drink milk i had a bowl of cereal and was just wondering if my belle could drink milk 1 % |
Milk is not good for dogs.. I don't ever give milk to either of my furbabies. It can led to diarreha. |
what do they like to snack on that humans snack on |
Milk is not necessary to a dog's diet. I have given it to my dogs as a treat from time to time. However, like people some dogs cannot tolerate milk because they do not produce an enzyme called lactase. They cannot digest cow's milk properly and they get diarrhea or gastric upset when they drink it. |
like people, some dogs are lactose intolerant, some are not. i, for instance am mildly lactose intolerant. i'm okay with 2%, 1% or skim milk so long as i have it with something else. whole milk or milk alone does funny things to my stomach. i give my puppy a little bit of milk (like a tsp) with his kibbles sometimes to encourage him to eat. he's had no adverse side effects. |

You can give cheerios, fruits/veggies (no grapes), rice (plain), ive heard of people giving yogurt or cottage cheese. I generally try not to give any dairy, corn, wheat, salty or sugery foods. Just keep an eye out for any upsets like vomiting or diarrhea. My Yorkie loves icecream so much she will get up in my face for it (not like her at all), so thats when I allow her to have dairy/suger, luckily I dont eat icecream that often. |
I have question, if milk is not ok, why is cottage cheese? or cheese. It is from cow's milk. |

My vet said that it is okay to put a little milk on dry kibble for small puppies to encourage them to eat. However, I don't give any of our pets milk to drink. |
Yes, Yorkies can drink milk BUT they should not have much. And, if you want to share your cereal with your dog, start using Lact-aid milk (skimmed or whatever does not matter. Just use the fat content you have always used) The important thing is to get 100% lactose reduced milk. Do not give them milk that has sugar added as we use on some cereals. Yorkies like Cheerios, but I do not buy snacks. I just use a different dog food as treats. Actually, I use Iams Daily Dental Mini-chunks as their treats. They love it but I don't think it has the quality that I would want to feed as their diet.. |
Milk Can cause ulcers? I have so heard. Ours do not get ANY people food. Better safe than sorry I say. .....justus |
Y ou can give them cottage cheese if it dont bother them, chester loves it. |

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. Carol Jean |
