Reasons why dogs cannot drink milk

Dogs who drink milk are prone to stomachaches, diarrhea, vomiting, etc. There are two main causes of these adverse reactions: lactose intolerance and milk allergy.
Lactose intolerance is a non-infectious diarrhea caused by insufficient lactase secretion and the inability to completely digest and decompose the lactose in breast milk or cow's milk. It is also called lactase deficiency. The lactose content in milk is high, and lactase, a special digestive enzyme in dogs, is needed to break down the lactose. Dogs produce a large amount of this enzyme when they are just born, so they can digest and decompose lactose in breast milk normally. However, as dogs grow older, their ability to produce this enzyme also decreases, resulting in an inability to decompose milk. Lactose in the food may cause stomachache, diarrhea, vomiting, etc.
Milk allergy is a health condition but is often mistaken for lactose intolerance. Milk is made up of carbohydrates, water, minerals, fats, proteins and a few other substances. There are 30 different proteins found in milk, and milk contains a special protein called A1 casein. This protein will form an indigestible coagulation under the action of gastric acid, aggravating the symptoms of lactose intolerance. The manifestation is that the dog will immediately have diarrhea and vomiting after drinking milk. This serious adverse reaction is also called "milk allergy."

The reasons why dogs can drink goat milk

1. The fat structure of goat milk has short carbon chains, high unsaturated fatty acid content, and is in a good emulsification state. The casein structure of goat's milk is different from that of cow's milk, so goat's milk is not prone to allergies and lactose intolerance, and will not cause diarrhea in dogs.
2. Goat milk contains more than 200 nutrients and bioactive factors, among which the total content of protein, minerals and various vitamins is higher than that of cow milk. The natural calcium content per 100 grams of goat milk is higher than that of cow milk. double.
3. The fat globules and protein particles of goat's milk are only 1/3 of those of cow's milk, and the particles are uniform in size, so they are easier to digest and absorb by dogs.
4. The immune globulin content in goat milk is very high, which can effectively eliminate viruses and protect the body from harm.

Benefits of dogs drinking goat milk

1. Enhance immunity. Goat milk is rich in vitamin A, which can enhance pets’ immunity and promote development.
2. Promote intellectual development. Goat milk contains a large amount of vitamin B, which can promote the brain and intellectual development of dogs.
3. Strengthen the dog's body. The calcium content in goat milk is very high, which is obviously helpful for the growth of the developing dog's bones.
