WHY IS RAW GOAT MILK GREAT FOR MY SENSITIVE DOG?

Raw goat milk has become increasingly popular among dog owners as a nutritious and beneficial addition to their pet's diet. While some may be skeptical about the idea of feeding their dogs raw milk, there are several reasons why raw goat milk is good for dogs.

Firstly, raw goat milk is highly nutritious and can provide many health benefits to dogs.

According to a study published in the Journal of Dairy Science, goat milk has higher levels of potassium, niacin, and vitamin A than cow's milk, and it has lower levels of vitamin B12, folate, and selenium than cow's milk [1]. This makes goat milk a great source of essential vitamins and minerals that can help support a dog's overall health and well-being.

In addition, raw goat milk is easier to digest than cow's milk because it has slightly lower levels of lactose, a sugar that many dogs and people cannot digest. This means that dogs who are lactose intolerant or have sensitive stomachs may be able to tolerate goat milk better than cow's milk.

Furthermore, raw goat milk is rich in probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria that can help improve gut health and boost the immune system of dogs [2].

Raw goat milk also has anti-inflammatory properties and can help alleviate symptoms of allergies and other inflammatory conditions in dogs.

A study published in the Journal of Animal Science and Biotechnology found that goat milk contains a bioactive peptide that has anti-inflammatory effects [3]. This means that dogs who suffer from allergies, arthritis, or other inflammatory conditions may benefit from consuming raw goat milk.



It is important to note that not all dogs may tolerate goat milk well, and it should be introduced gradually to avoid any digestive issues. It is also recommended to use raw, unpasteurized goat milk from a trusted source (like Dee-O-Gee Franklin) to ensure the highest quality and nutritional value.

In conclusion, raw goat milk can be a nutritious and beneficial addition to a dog's diet. It is rich in essential vitamins and minerals, probiotics, and anti-inflammatory properties that can help support a dog's overall health and well-being.

However, it is important to introduce goat milk gradually and use raw, unpasteurized milk from a great supplier.

Lawsuit Claims Hill’s Pet Food And Veterinarians Fabricated Grain-Free Diet Scare And they have a slew of evidence to back up their claims. The legal complaint, filed in Kansas on February 6, 2024, is 124 pages of scathing evidence against Hill’s Pet Food, the Morris Animal Foundation, the Mark Morris Institute, Dr. Lisa Freeman, Dr. Joshua Stern, Dr. Darcy Adin and others claiming all were involved in “an egregious, wide-ranging, and damaging campaign of coordinated, for-profit, faux-scientific misinformation by a large corporation” to make veterinarians and pet owners (falsely – per the lawsuit) believe grain-free pet foods were dangerous, linked to canine heart disease. “Using the tools of professional science and Hill’s vast veterinary influence network, the goal of the scheme was to persuade American pet-owners that grain-free diets weren’t just “fad diets” but actually dangerous for dogs—an argument that, if successful, had the potential to eradicate the entire grain-free sector
