Can dogs drink milk puppies can not drink, adult dogs can not drink, older dogs can not drink Milk is a low protein, low fat and high lactose drink, can not meet the nutritional needs of dogs. And the dog’s body seriously lacks lactase, so the high content of lactose in milk is not digested and absorbed by the dog, directly into the dog’s large intestine, thus causing symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, exhaustion and diarrhea. The disadvantages of drinking milk 1. milk is a low protein, low fat and high lactose drink, dogs need indeed high protein, high fat and low lactose drink, they are just the opposite, so feeding milk to dogs does not meet the nutritional needs of dogs. 2. Many dogs are lactose intolerant, which means that dogs have a serious lack of lactase in their bodies, thus making the lactose in the milk ingested into the body can not be converted into galactose and glucose for absorption and use in the small intestine, but directly into the large intestine, so that the osmotic pressure in the intestinal cavity increases, so that the large intestinal mucosa inhales a lot of water. In addition, lactose in the intestine by bacterial fermentation can produce lactic acid, so that the intestinal pH value drops below 6, which stimulates the large intestine, causing symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, exhaust and diarrhea. 3. If the resistance of the puppy is extremely low, drinking milk is likely to cause infection. Note that if you want to feed your puppy milk, it is recommended to choose canine milk, which is more easily digested and absorbed by the dog and has more nutrition.
