Giving Dairy Products to your Dog

Milk
I'll talk about it in more detail when I get to talking about weaning the puppy, so now I will just talk about it very briefly. You have to bear in mind that milk is not a natural food for dogs; it is, however, for children whose parents have raised cattle for centuries in order to produce its, with the human anatomy more adapted to a vegetable diet.

Milk is a vegetable matter, in liquid form, because it is made out of grass and the cows or goats which consume the grass. A puppy that is only a couple months old and an adult dog can not drink milk as a natural food. Taken in excess, milk will form deposits of phlegm, which are often the main cause of frequent canine grievances, especially worm infestation. You should designate milk for the process of weaning poppies and the first stage of feeding the weaned puppy, especially big breeds, when it is necessary to favor a rapid growth; for the females that are nursing their offspring, and for sick or thin dogs. For the latter there hasn't been found a better diet than one based on milk and honey. For such a reason, no one who can not assure natural fresh milk at all times must try to raise puppies.

Obviously, in the same way that it is essential to be able to buy totally healthy cereals, the milk must have a totally perfect quality, produced by cows in an excellent state of health. If you give your puppy a kind of milk that is dirty and insalubrious, you will only transmit him diseases, which is also the case with cereal grain defile by rodents. Always make sure to give your animals healthy foods.

Avoid these milks that they sell nowadays that claim to be "long-life". Their real denomination should be "short-life" as it's a dead liquid which clogs the internal organs in the same way that another long-life substance does: margarine.
