dogs and milk

i dont know if you guys knew this.. but i didnt.. read it in a magazine today... so here goes:


Foods on the danger list:
Lactose: This is found in milk and dairy products and is not digestible to dogs. Lactase is the enzyme used to break down lactose and as a puppy is weaned away from its mother the ability to produce lactase declines.

wont be giving indie milk anymore then!

other things u shud never feed your dog are: chocolate, onions, garlic, raisins, grapes and fruit (in small amount as fruit is acidic and high in sugar and can upset digestive system)

just thought id share. u all probably know anyway!!

knew the milk and onion bit, have been told garlic is okay though!

Garlic surprises me as most dog recipes feature it

Everyone tells me garlic and brewers yeast are good for fleas and ticks

i'll type out some of it...

Garlic: this is also part of the onion family and in large doses may cause dermatitis and asthma. If used as a natural flea repellent i would recommended feeding for five days with a two week break

hmmm okay. Didnt know that! Thanks

Did you know that adult humans dont do so well on lactose either? I was on a detox for two years where I stayed away from it!

i lost a stone last year giving up milk and bread for 2 weeks!

cor blimey! well done!

and i still ate sweets!! i must do it again unfortunately!!
