I only fed my yorkie milk when he was a puppy but now that i got a kitten and give her milk he wants too and often he drink hers. I don't mind giving him some too but i have heard it's not healthy for adult dogs. Is it true? Can i give him any? Thanks.

It may give him diahrea but I give mine a half a cup each of ice cream each night in the warmer months and their stools have been unaffected

Better choice would be a product made for dogs like 'Frosty Paws'.

Every morning as soon as I rip the sugars to go into my tea...there are 3 sets of eyes watching me, waiting....for their little shot of skim milk. I put in my tea first & that is their que to start dancing like I was serving up prime rib!!!

As we know all furbabies are not alike. Like people we all have different tolorances. I for one have fed my furbabies at some time non-fat milk, non fat cottage cheese and non fat yogurt. Never once had a problem. For a while I was concerned that my furbaby was not drinking enough water and my solution was the milk after I ate my cherrios. She loved it and had no problems. Now, I just make sure her food has moisture in it. I for one have never given them ice cream but, my girlfriend shares her ice cream with her puppies all the time. Just remember, alot of our foods have sugar in it. Just use caution.

I've heard that dogs are supposedly lactose intolerant...I dont know if thats true or not, but Roman certainly isnt. He loves drinking the milk thats left over from my cereal bowl. I think dairy is his favorite food group haha. He loves milk, cheese, cottage cheese, cream cheese, ice cream, etc. He's never had diarrhea or vomiting from it, so it cant be that bad for him.
