no, is it safe in general to give milk to a dog

Accepted Answer

Hello,

Katherine is not on right now and I did not want you to continue to wait for an answer. Milk will cause diarrhea in dogs. The sugars in the Lactose cannot be broken down in the dogs stomach giving the dog diarrhea. I hope this helps. Basically dogs are lactose intolerant. There is special milk that is made for pets that can be purchased at pet supplies. Joan
