WGD Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 IMO never, never, never give a pup cows milk. They have been weaned off milk, why reintorduce it? Use good quality, complete puppy food and you will need nothing more. Good luck with your new pup, lovely choice of dog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 NOT COWS MILK!! I use puppy milk, you buy it in pet shops, its just powder n you add water n stir it to make like milk formula! Like when babies go off milk then go on formula to keep giving em nutrients to grow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippy18 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Never hurt any of mine only a problem if they cant stomach it. Not all dogs are lactose intolerant and like a treat. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like when babies go off milk then go on formula to keep giving em nutrients to grow If you want a supplement goats milk is the old standby and very close to dog milk I suspect that is the main component of 'puppy' milk. Our pups were still at the teat for a few weeks more so IMO not a bad idea to continue for a little longer once on solids proper I gave raw fatty mince as a treat watch your fingers tho' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
