Nowadays, keeping pets seems to have become a trend. More and more people around us are starting to keep pets. However, in fact, people who keep pets for the first time will not know enough about keeping precautions. Let’s talk about raising dogs. Maybe some pet owners bring their puppies back for the first time and they don’t know whether the puppies can eat milk powder. Today, the editor will give you a detailed answer. If you are interested, read on.
1. Main reasons
1. Because puppies have a fragile gastrointestinal tract and are severely lactose intolerant. Although milk powder is rich in nutrients, it has a relatively high lactose content. Feeding the puppy can easily induce gastrointestinal discomfort, and even lead to symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, soft stools, and inability to eat. Therefore, it is recommended that owners do not give milk powder or milk to their puppies.
2. Some puppies are allergic to the protein in milk. When the protein affects the whole body, symptoms of skin allergy, redness, swelling, and itching will occur. If you find that your puppy has these symptoms, you must seek medical attention promptly.
2. Precautions
1. Because most dogs will experience symptoms of discomfort after drinking milk, if you really want to supplement your dog with dairy products, it is recommended that the owner can give the puppy goat milk powder specially designed for pets. The lactose content in goat milk powder is low, so allergic reactions will not occur.
2. In addition to milk, owners should not feed alcoholic drinks, carbonated drinks, milk tea, coffee, tea and other drinks to dogs to avoid harming the dog's health.
