What a pity for the poor kids left without mom and dad. And how you want to give them all the necessary warmth and care. However, how to do it right and not ruin the kids?

This is a real SOS situation: is it even possible to feed a puppy healthy and strong without a mother?

Do not be afraid: Sobakus.com will tell you in detail how to feed orphaned puppies, how to replace mother's milk and how to properly take care of kittens?

How to care for newborns?

The best way to feed a puppy who is left without a mother is to find a wet nurse. It should be a bitch of suitable size who has few puppies. Artificial feeding of newborn puppies from their very birth is a very laborious and difficult task, so it's better to "delegate"! But if such a dog cannot be found, it means that according to your plan - a feat! And the plan for this feat is as follows:

Temperature regime

Healthy newborn puppies during the first three weeks sleep most of the time (up to 90%), the rest of the time they spend on food. Body temperature up to day 20 36.5-38 °С. During this period, the puppy must be provided with a constant, comfortable temperature regime, since he cannot maintain his body temperature on his own even in a blanket.

If the puppy's body temperature is below normal, it is hypothermia. In this case, it must be immediately warmed by attaching it to your body (under the jacket). This is a long process: if the body temperature is 35 degrees, it will take 2 to 3 hours to warm up!

In no case should puppies that are too cold be warmed up quickly (with a heating pad, and even more so on a battery)! By doing this, you will only deprive the baby of his last strength and provoke unnecessary vasodilation.

A chilled puppy should not be fed either mother's milk or artificial food, since the stomach and small intestines in this case will not cope with the load. In the process of warming, once an hour, he is given a 10% glucose solution with water (3.5 ml per 100 g of body weight). Instead of glucose, you can use a solution of honey, in extreme cases, sweetened with water: 3/4 teaspoon per 100 ml of water.

To accommodate newborns, it is necessary to organize a "nest". It can be a box, the volume of which is sufficient for comfortable placement of puppies. Additional warmth and dryness can be provided by disposable diapers or cotton fabric. They need to be changed when they get dirty. Optimum temperature+37 in socket. You can use an electric heating pad with a thermostat, bottles with warm water or a medical rubber heating pad.

Important: after 7 days from birth, puppies need to repeat the procedure every week. This process must be done as carefully as possible so as not to hurt the nerve endings.

It is possible and necessary to cut only the curved tip of the claw, no more than 1 mm!

Do not be afraid that puppies only eat and sleep: it is necessary, because they are growing! Babies will open their eyes between 11-15 days of life, but they will begin to hear on the 18th day.

Complete nutrition

What to feed up to 1 month?

For feeding, you will need a pipette, a syringe with a rubber nozzle, a measuring bottle with a nipple.

Newborn puppies should be fed every 2-3 hours. The temperature of the mixture should be from +38 to +40 degrees.

From the first day of life, it is correct to use bitch milk substitutes for feeding, which are sold in pet stores (Lactazor, Royal Canin Mini, Welpenmilch). Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer with the product.

Mother's milk substitute mix

Mixture recipes that you can cook yourself:

• mixture of boiled water and glucose
• 0.5 l milk + 1 raw egg yolk without shell.
• 0.25 l of milk + a tablespoon of powdered milk.
• a glass of milk, 0.5 cups of weak tea, 2 teaspoons of glucose, 1 yolk.
• boiled goat milk.

How to cook:

• mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the lumps disappear completely,
• strain through a tea strainer scalded with boiling water,
• cool to 38 degrees.

Important Rules

1. All meals must be freshly prepared!
2. Any container for feeding should be sterilized by boiling for 5 to 15 minutes.
3. Wash your hands with soap before every meal.
4. Before giving milk replacer, check its temperature by putting a few drops on your wrist (the mixture should be warm, not hot).
5. No need to press on the bottle so that the puppy eats faster, hold the container at a 45 degree angle.

How and how much?

You definitely need to weigh newborns and further monitor how they gain weight and how much they can eat at a time. If the puppy is weak, then it will need to be fed every 1.5 hours from a pipette, syringe or pacifier (depending on its size and age). For the first time, 1 ml will be enough. at once.

After 2 weeks, increase the amount of milk to 5-10 milliliters at a time.

Often in the first few days after birth, babies do not gain weight, and sometimes they can even throw it off. Do not worry: in 1-2 days everything should be on the mend. But if this does not happen, then contact your veterinarian immediately!

• At the age of 1 to 6 days - 15-20% of body weight.
• At the age of 7 to 13 days - 22-25%,
• At the age of 14 to 20 days - 30-32%

To get started, you need pipette. You can also put a thin rubber tube on it or a syringe. If the puppy is quite large, then it is better to put a nipple on the syringe, in which you need to make a couple of small holes. When the puppies get older, you can use a special bottle with a pacifier to feed them.

If the puppy is naughty and pushes the bottle away, then lightly shake the pest and drop milk on his tongue, and also hold his front paws so that he does not push the bottle away with them.

It is best to feed puppies when they lie on their tummy with their heads slightly raised - for them this is the most natural position and the danger of choking is reduced to zero. If you notice that the baby is starting to choke because he is in a hurry to eat and does not have time to swallow food, remove the pacifier from his mouth and give him the opportunity to rest. The most important thing is that breathing returns to normal, becomes calm and measured.

Do not rush to quickly feed the children, the fast delivery of food puts their lives at risk.

The ideal position of the container for food and the puppy itself

After you have fed the young troglodyte, hold it for 1-2 minutes with a column, wipe your eyes and muzzle, and do a massage. Having eaten, the puppy will go to bed.

If the baby refuses to eat, you should put a few drops on his tongue. After that, he, for sure, will begin to suck on the pacifier with pleasure. It is better to make several holes in the nipple.

If, when trying to suck, milk flows from the nostrils of a newborn puppy, or he makes several respiratory movements with his open mouth, then it is possible that he has remained in his nasal passages. amniotic mucus or a congenital disease uncovered upper sky. In the first case, it is necessary to remove the mucus by sucking it out of the nose, but in the second, alas, to put it to sleep - the puppy will never be able to eat on its own.

At the age of two weeks, the puppy should begin to learn to lap from a bowl. Gently dip the baby's face into the milk. Be careful not to let milk get into your nose.

For two-week-old puppies, special puppy cereals can be added to the diet.

Three-week-old puppies will be able to digest and get additional nutrients from canned puppy food, which is diluted with boiled water and has the consistency of sour cream.

Better to underfeed than to overfeed. For example, a newborn puppy of small breeds eats about 2 ml of milk for 1 feeding.

Massage

After feeding, it is necessary to massage the tummies of puppies to ensure stable bowel function. Up to 3 weeks, babies cannot urinate and empty the intestines on their own.

Active movements contribute to the acceleration of digestion and normal bowel function. You can imitate the movements of the tongue of a mother dog using piece of soft cloth, after lowering it into warm water. Massage the puppy's tummy in circular motions clockwise for five minutes before and after feeding.

It is also necessary to massage the baby's ass. Regular hygiene is also essential. After the puppy goes to the toilet, use a soft cloth to collect the secretions to prevent skin irritation. The water temperature should not exceed 36 degrees.

Massage for a newborn puppy for bowel movements:

Be sure to monitor your behavior and appearance their orphans, because their bodies do not yet have enough strength to fight diseases, such as intestinal infections. Even because of such a minor disease, the puppy can die on the very first day. When intestinal infections an unpleasant sour smell will appear in the couch, and yellow marks will remain around the priests.

The main cause of infection is usually inflammation of the navel. Bacteria enter when a dog with unhealthy teeth chews the umbilical cord. To avoid illness, lubricate the wound on the navel with brilliant green 2 times a day.

Disease protection

With mother's milk, puppies receive not only the opportunity to grow and develop, but also protection from many diseases, thanks to the immunoglobulins contained in mother's milk. Artificial feeding deprives babies of such protection.

Try to be ready to give him a special treatment by 4 weeks of age. vaccination to protect against diseases such as parvovirus enteritis, canine distemper. To resolve this issue, you definitely need to contact the help of a veterinarian.

When puppies are 1 month old, they need to be wormed.. Anthelmintics are given 2 times with a break of 10 days. It is important that the baby receives exactly the dose that corresponds to his weight and age. To do this, study the instructions, in which, as a rule, everything is described in detail.

Up to what age?

When to start the first complementary foods and how long will it take to act as a dog mother? As a rule, puppies become active by 3 weeks: but they still need to be fed! But on the 4th week (21-25 days), the fangs begin to erupt in the puppies, so you can slowly start feeding the puppy.

First food

You must remember that for the first feeding you need to choose only one of any product and give it no more than 1 time per day! Feeding temperature: 38 degrees Celsius. It is important that the growing dog gets used to the changes gradually so that there are no problems in the future. Make sure that the babies absorb the new food well, and only then increase the dosage.

Gradually increase the number of feedings according to the following scheme: 2 times a day - 3 times a day - full feeding. You can completely stop artificial feeding in 5-6 weeks. We emphasize once again: it is very important to do everything gradually so as not to harm your health.

So, the best first food: chicken fillet, lean parts of rabbit. Be sure to look at the pieces well before giving them to the little ones so that there are no bones. But what to feed the cubs further you will learn from the article

The diet of a dog that is on natural nutrition should be balanced and complete, include all the vitamins and minerals necessary for its development. Many owners have a question: can dogs have milk? After all, it is a source of magnesium, potassium, as well as calcium and vitamin D, which are so necessary for strengthening the bones of a growing body. And how will the body of a puppy and an adult dog to whom you gave milk react, will it be well absorbed by their body? Our article will answer these questions.

Fresh milk contains milk sugar - lactose. To fully assimilate the product, the dog's body must produce a sufficient amount of a special enzyme - lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose (filling the body with energy) and galactose (responsible for the work nervous system). In this case, the dog can give milk.

If there is a deficiency of this enzyme in the animal's body, then the accumulation of lactose in the intestine will provoke the reproduction of pathogenic microflora, and, therefore, problems of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, dogs with lactase deficiency are not given fresh milk.

It is known that the body of puppies contains this enzyme in sufficient quantities. This is not surprising, because nature is designed in such a way that after birth, babies drink mother's milk until they get stronger. The proteins and vitamin B12 contained in it are of great importance in the formation of the nervous system and hematopoietic organs, participate in metabolism and contribute to the growth of a small organism. With the help of these substances, the synthesis of amino acids and DNA occurs. In addition, milk helps to strengthen the immune system. Its use is also necessary because at an early age the strength of the skeleton is laid and a lack of predisposition to bone fractures is formed.

As a dog matures, lactase production in his body decreases significantly, which is why milk sugar cannot be broken down as well as in childhood. For this reason, an older individual that continues to be fed with milk may have problems with its absorption. Lactose intolerance can manifest itself in the following ways:

• diarrhea after eating, with a symptom of "milk" stool (has a light yellow tint);
• pain and cramps in the abdomen, flatulence;
• belching and vomiting;
• lack of appetite.

In addition, the milk protein casein is a powerful allergen. Not fully absorbed by the body, it enters the bloodstream and can cause severe allergies. This reaction of the immune system to milk protein leads to gastroenterological and respiratory problems, and can have serious consequences in the form of anaphylactic shock or the development of diabetes. In this case adult dog All dairy products are strictly prohibited.

Should I give my pet milk?

In the absence or shortage of mother's milk, newborn puppies are fed cow's or goat's milk. Such feeding is absolutely harmless for babies until they are 2-3 months old. Then, the production of the lactase enzyme in their body gradually decreases and the amount of milk consumed must be reduced.

In an adult dog, lactase deficiency can be developed to varying degrees. Sometimes a pet drinks milk without any harm to health. In other cases, even small doses of the product cause negative reactions in the body.

In the event that with age the dog still likes to drink milk (in the absence of lactase deficiency), some of it may be present in the animal's diet. However, the following conditions must be observed:

• Give it to dogs not every day (no more than 3 times a week).
• Fatty milk is recommended to be diluted with water to avoid a heavy load on the liver. But it is not recommended to give a completely fat-free drink, because in this case calcium will be poorly absorbed. The fat content of milk should be approximately 2.5%.
• For better assimilation of cow's milk, it is recommended to slightly change its composition, bringing it closer in terms of nutritional value to dog's. To do this, add one beaten quail egg yolk and a tablespoon of cream to half a liter.
• A good solution would be to buy special lactose-free milk for animals at the pet store. The absence of milk sugar makes this milk acceptable for consumption by dogs of all ages.

What kind of milk can be given

Man uses the milk of various animals for food. There are also several types of plant-based milk. Can all of them be used to feed animals:

• Cow's milk has a high level of lactose. Give it 2-3 times a week, in a diluted form.
• Goat milk has the lowest level of lactose. It is very easily digestible and can be given even to adult dogs in the absence of contraindications. Contains a large amount of nutrients and minerals.
• Mare's milk is not recommended for dogs. It contains fewer nutrients, and the level of lactose in it is the highest.
• Soy milk is contraindicated for dogs due to the high percentage of vegetable proteins.
• Coconut - too sweet, not recommended for dogs.
• Almond milk contains plant-based nutrients. They will not harm the health of the animal.

Should I give my dog ​​fermented milk products and milk porridge?

There are many products made with fermented or fresh milk. Fermented milk drinks and products are well tolerated not only by puppies, but also by adult dogs, and can even have a healing effect on gastrointestinal diseases. What dairy products are especially well absorbed by animals:

• Milk porridge is a very nutritious food for puppies. They can be cooked for babies from 2 months of age.
• Kefir and acidophilus have positive influence on the condition of the intestines of dogs of all ages. These drinks have a small amount of lactose, so they are easily absorbed by their body. Homemade curdled milk is very useful, which is prepared by fermenting fresh milk with a small amount of yogurt.
• Cottage cheese must be included in the diet of animals if they are breastfed. It is very useful for a growing organism, as it is a source of calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B.
• Due to the high fat content, sour cream for babies, and even adult dogs, should not be given uncontrollably. But, if the animal tolerates the product well, a few tablespoons can be added to the curd.
• Yogurt is also useful as a source of live lactobacilli necessary for digestion. For feeding a dog, you need to choose unsweetened and low-fat yogurt.
• Cheese should not be included in the daily diet. Small pieces can be given as a reward during dog play. The only condition: the product must have a low fat content.
• Puppies, like all children, love ice cream. But due to the high content of products harmful to dogs: sugar, vegetable fats, lactose - the delicacy should be strictly prohibited.

There is no single answer to the question of whether it is possible to give milk to a dog. It is safe to say that puppies who are not yet 1.5 months old (for small breeds) and 3 months old (for large breeds), a sufficient amount of this nutritious product should be given. As for the grown-up animals who drank milk with pleasure in childhood, the owner should make a decision here after consulting a veterinarian. If the pet does not have lactase deficiency, then some low-fat product in the diet will not harm him.

Products based on fermented milk should always be on the menu of both a puppy and an adult dog. It is necessary to give preference to dairy products containing a minimum amount of sugar and fat.

The composition of cow's milk is very different from that of a dog. In addition, a mother's dog's milk varies with the age of the puppies. Therefore, in cow's milk add various foods to increase nutritional value. If the dog is lactating, it is best to add milk to her food, and offer puppies after 6 weeks as a snack between main meals.

newborn puppies

For the first two days, it is not so important for puppies to get a lot of vitamins and microelements, but it is necessary to cleanse the intestines from meconium, feces, formed during the development of the baby before his birth.

On the first day, milk is not given, they are drunk every two hours with clean, boiled water with the addition of glucose. The solution is prepared one by one, always heating to a temperature of 38 degrees. Cold food disrupts digestion in puppies.

The second day is drunk with a mixture of milk, water and glucose, all products are taken in equal proportions. Feeding should be carried out at least 12 times a day, approximately every two hours. Be sure to massage the tummy, otherwise the puppy will not be able to excrete the products of digestion.

2 to 14 days

For further feeding, a mixture of eggs, milk and cream is prepared. 2 tablespoons of cream and one chicken or two quail eggs are added to a glass of cow's milk. Mix thoroughly so that parts of the egg white do not clog the nipple, heat up to 38 degrees.

Preparations containing bifidobacteria, for example, bifidumbacterin, are added to the finished mixture. The amount is calculated taking into account the recommendations of the manufacturer.

Glucose is not added daily, every other day, and only in one feeding. The number of feedings per day is still 12.

14 days to 6 weeks

Continue to give a mixture of egg, milk and cream. From 4 weeks old, puppies are offered solid food before feeding - boiled egg, low-fat minced meat, porridge, boiled in milk. In two weeks, puppies get used to such food, so the milk mixture is given only to the weak, with poor appetite. The rest are offered pure milk, without additives, not from a nipple, but from a shallow bowl.

Feeding every three hours, food is also given warmed up.

6 weeks to 3 months

After 6 weeks, puppies can eat solid food on their own; at this age, cow's milk has no special nutritional value. You can continue to give milk as a snack or cook porridge on it.

Between the ages of 2.5 and 3 months, most puppies stop digesting lactose, which is found in milk. In this case, puppies react to the content of dairy products in the diet with indigestion. It is dangerous to continue to give milk to such puppies, it can lead to serious digestive disorders, including gastritis. As a substitute for milk, you can add to the diet dairy products, cottage cheese, low-fat sour cream, kefir. These products are successfully digested even by adult dogs.

Of course, if possible, instead of cow's milk for feeding puppies, it is better to choose special mixtures. But with due attention, observance temperature regime and hygiene, feeding puppies with cow's milk is quite successful.

Owners always want to please their pets with a new toy, an interesting walk or a delicious treat. It is very important to know what foods are suitable for them so as not to accidentally harm the animal's body. Is it possible for dogs to have milk - a moot point.

About the discussion

Between professional cynologists and ordinary dog ​​owners there are often quarrels about whether it is possible to give milk to a dog. It is important to pay attention to what both sides rely on in their reasoning. Some people are guided personal experience, traditions and even simple human logic, while others are the latest scientific research, surveys, statistics.

Attention! Do not take a harsh position on this issue! In some situations, milk is simply necessary for the animal's body, while in others, on the contrary, it is harmful.

Which milk is healthier?

We all know that milk is different from milk. Products presented in large stores are often stuffed with preservatives. It is best to purchase dairy products directly from manufacturers or from trusted companies.

Attention! Dairy products contain many useful substances: lactose, amino acids, fatty acids, various minerals (iodine, calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, etc.), as well as many vitamins.

The most acceptable for the body of dogs are goat's and cow's milk of low fat content. You should not offer your pet more high-calorie options (camel, horse, etc.), as an organism unprepared for such food may experience a response in the form of spasms and problems with the intestines.

Can dogs drink milk?

Dairy products are incredibly useful for any organism. The only thing you need to know in what form is better to give it to your dog. Experienced cynologists who feed their pets with natural food always give milk in order to raise healthy and beautiful animals.

Milk for puppies

In its pure form, milk can only be offered to the smallest puppies (under the age of one and a half months for small breeds, as well as up to three months for large ones). Their body is still poorly adapted to solid food, so additional feeding will only benefit the cubs. Experienced cynologists advise giving goat or cow milk not in its natural form, but after preparing it somewhat. It is quite simple to bring the product closer in composition to the native one. In half a liter of milk, you need to stir a tablespoon of low-fat natural cream and one well-whipped quail egg yolk.

If the puppy is slightly older than the above age, you can give him milk porridge. Even a curdled product is suitable for their preparation. Such breakfasts have a beneficial effect on the digestive system, and also prepare the puppy for more “serious” food.

Milk for adult dogs

But with adult pets, everything is a little more complicated. The point is that in adulthood milk for dogs is undesirable for consumption. In their bodies, special enzymes responsible for the absorption of a unique sugar, lactose, cease to be produced, which leads to burdening the intestines, problems with stools and indigestion. And the passion for milk sometimes turns into a number of diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, reduced immunity.

Attention! Some animals have an individual intolerance to dairy products. You should not force feed your dog with them, even if there are a lot of vitamins in such food.

During pregnancy and feeding puppies, it is useful for dogs to give milk. So you help mom give everything to her kids essential vitamins and replenish the balance of nutrients in her body.

What dairy products are suitable for dogs?

For adult dogs, instead of regular milk, it is better to give fermented milk products:

• low-fat cottage cheese;
• light kefir;
• acidophilus;
• curdled milk.

They have a beneficial effect on the intestinal microflora, and also have a good antibiotic effect. The most beneficial option for the animal is to prepare a delicious treat on your own. It's not that hard. Take a liter of milk and mix it with sourdough (a tablespoon of low-fat sour cream or kefir), then leave it in a warm place for a day. After the product is completely ready for use.

As a medicine, sour-milk delicacies are also actively used by cynologists. With overeating or digestive system problems, these products perfectly serve as a mild medicine. Dairy “medicines” are especially useful for sick and recovering puppies.

Attention! If your pet is madly in love with milk, but you are afraid of harming his health, you can buy special products. Dogs are lactose intolerant, but veterinarians have found a solution to the problem. Special milk for pets does not contain it, which means it is safe for health!

Even if you want to please your pet tasty treat, do not forget that some products can be harmful to him. Milk should be given carefully, not exceeding the allowable limit.

All people know that milk is healthy, but not everyone is aware of whether dogs can drink milk? Yes, animals that eat natural food need useful elements (calcium, protein). But there are nuances that require the attention of dog breeders. And, in order not to harm the pet, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the dog's body.

Do adult dogs need milk?

Cow's milk contains the milk sugar lactose. For its processing in the intestines of the animal, the presence of a special enzyme - lactase is necessary. In the body of puppies, the enzyme is contained in sufficient quantities, they perfectly absorb useful product. However, with age, the production of the enzyme decreases and even stops completely. Therefore, adult animals digest milk with difficulty. In 40% of individuals, it can cause loose stools, and even allergic reactions.

In many cases, growing dogs stop drinking milk themselves. But sometimes love for him remains for life. So can an adult dog give milk? It is possible if after use the animal does not experience adverse reactions.

Important: give the animal milk with a low fat content (2 - 2.5%). And don't feed fat people. With a low fat content, calcium is poorly absorbed. And best of all, yogurt and kefir are digested by dogs.

Types of milk

Animals have different reactions to the product. The body of some suffers after consumption, which is why dogs cannot have milk. But others drink it all their lives without consequences. If your friend tolerates lactose well, he can drink milk in small quantities.

Remember: Frequent consumption of homemade milk causes a serious load on the liver.

Types of milk, tolerance:

How to give milk

From the age of 20 days, puppies can be fed to a mammal without any problems, and to newborn cubs, if it is insufficient in a nursing dog, even for 3 days. Their body easily copes with the product.

In dogs of large breeds, a decrease in lactase production occurs from the age of three months, for small breeds - from one and a half months.

Important: goat's or cow's milk in its pure form can be given to pets only until this age is reached.

In order to bring goat or cow milk closer to dog milk in composition, add 1 tablespoon of cream, 1 whipped quail egg yolk (0.5 liters) to it. For puppies older than 1.5 - 3 months, it is advisable to cook milk porridge. They are absorbed better.

If the pet does not lose its love for milk in adulthood, then you can do the following:

• In a pet store, buy a product with a reduced lactose content, it can sometimes be given to our smaller brothers.
• With good tolerance, milk can be given, but diluted with water, but not daily. Cow is better to replace goat.

Dairy Good for Dogs

The dog's body is very well absorbed by the yogurt and cereals that positively affect the intestinal microflora:

Kashi

When the puppy grows up, he can cook cereals based on milk. But the main source of nutrition for him is meat.

Kefir

This drink is good for puppies and adult dogs. It is well digested, well absorbed. It is better for animals to consume fat-free kefir (fatty can cause diarrhea).

Used as a reward during training. Dogs are given cheeses without artificial additives with low fat content.

The norm of cheese for a small dog (per day) is 100 g, 150 g for a medium dog, and 200 g for a large one.

Important: Eliminate smoked and moldy cheeses from the diet of animals.

Cottage cheese

In the diet of puppies, cottage cheese should be daily, they replace one feeding. At least once a week, the product can be given to adult animals. Cottage cheese is well digested and contributes to the good functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.

Sour cream

If the dog tolerates sour cream well, it can be flavored with cottage cheese. Puppies, as a food supplement, can consume a few teaspoons of sour cream per week.

Important: natural lactic acid and dairy products are good for the dog's body, but not fatty.

Ice cream

Dogs love ice cream. However, they cannot eat a cold treat, because it contains a large amount of lactose, palm oil, sugar, and fat. The dog's body does not absorb glucose. Therefore, after eating ice cream in a dog, allergies and intestinal disorders are possible.

Yogurt

Yogurt contains a lot of bacteria, trace elements, and protein that are beneficial for the intestines. The use of the product helps to remove toxins from the body, normalize the processes in the intestines. To improve digestion, it is recommended to give 2 tablespoons of yogurt with each feeding.

Important: it is better to cook fermented milk products yourself. To do this, add 1 tablespoon of kefir or sour cream for sourdough to 1 liter of milk and put in a warm place for a day.

So, is it possible to give a dog milk after souring? Not possible, but necessary. Sour milk products are often used as a mild remedy for overfeeding, digestive problems, and sick puppies as a health food.

Can dogs drink milk after they grow up? Each person decides for himself how to feed a pet, but it is necessary to observe the reaction of his body to the products. “We are responsible,” said Exupery, “for those who have been tamed.” Remember these words.
