Thoughts on goats milk for cats and dogs

[AlexandraR]

Hi all,

I have a friend who's homeopathic veterinarian swears by goats milk to aid in curing almost anything! What are everyone's thoughts on giving raw goats milk daily to my cats and dogs?

Thanks in advance,
Alexandra

It is great. Raw goat's milk has more probiotics than cow's and is tolerated by most animals. I would not say it cures almost anything. It is a good support to have a health gut, which can certainly help healing. When fermented goats milk is available (Not Answer's brand) it is even better. Green Juju | Whole Food Supplements for Dogs | Feed Fresh has many good fermented products, though I did not fermented raw goats milk yet.

I agree that goat's milk can be great for cats and dogs.

My own pets love their goat's milk kefir.
