Even though regular milk is delicious and nutritious to our little bundles of joy, it doesn’t necessarily mean it is good for your pup.
Yes, we all want our balls of fur to grow up to become a healthy and strong adult dogs who are always ready to, but we have to bear in mind that dogs, especially young pups, have quite specific requirements when it comes to their diet.
Mother’s milk Vs. regular milk
Ok, let’s get straight to the point. It is certainly not a good idea to give regular milk to your pup.
They need their mother’s milk and nothing else. It is as simple as that.
No other commercial substitute that comes from a grocery store is a good idea, nor can it provide everything your little pup needs.
Cow milk will only cause unpleasant stomachaches, unnecessary diarrhea or other more serious health issues. If mother’s milk is unavailable for any reason, it is vital to contact your vet for further instructions.
Be water, my friend
When your pup is weaned off and no longer requires mother’s milk, the only liquid he needs, and will probably ever need, is simply water. According to The Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine, water is one of your dog’s most crucial dietary components. We cannot stress enough how important it is to make sure your pup has plenty of clean water available 24/7.
It is that simple.
