Should I still give my puppy milk?

Do not feed your puppy cow’s milk, as dogs are lactose-intolerant and milk can cause diarrhoea. Put them directly onto a good nutritional veterinary diet as soon as they are weaned off the milk.

When can puppies drink normal milk?

The ASPCA notes that mother dogs often start weaning their puppies at around 3 weeks in age, and the process often lasts until 8 weeks, and perhaps even slightly longer. During this time frame, an 8-week-old puppy strictly needs Mama’s milk, so keep the “cow juice” away.

What kind of milk can puppies have?

A dog’s milk is richer in protein and calories, and much easier to digest than cow’s milk. Always choose a vet-recommended milk replacer over cow, goat, or plant-based milk for newborn puppies. After a puppy is weaned and begins to eat solid food, proceed with caution when giving your puppy milk.

Do you give a puppy water or milk?
