Can I give my pet ordinary cows milk?

Mrs Jones

Yes and no! A small amount is fine for most dogs, but most will develop diarrhoea if given too much, as they are unable to digest lactose. A few pets are allergic to milk and will get diarrhoea, sickness, or skin rashes with even small amounts. If in doubt, water is more natural, and safer!
