I dont either.. but it sounds like it has alot of good stuff in it.. but until i can find the words can help with allergies im not risking it because i dont feel like cleaning up diarrhea from a 60 pound dog all day if it isn't gonna work .

because the website it about pets.... http://www.answerspetfood.com/additional.html

IMO (not trying to start a debate here...) dogs have no need for milk. Humans are the only species that drink milk after weaning because it is not nutritionally necessary for the rest.
Adding into the fact that the site you quoted is selling their product..so IMO it is similar to dog food companies "Oh buy this because dogs need fruits and veggies"...which is not the case.
ALSO (lots of alsos here lol) it has additives to it which makes it even less natural.
If it works for your dogs...that's great, but I would find a more species appropriate diet more efficient than goat's milk.

(I also do believe that people can digest raw milk much better than pasteurized, however a dog's digestive system and a human's are completely different.)

I only have anecdotal success stories about goat milk helping with allergies. I do trust the people I heard it from (one of them being a nutritionist), so I would lean towards believing it.

i give my dogs ( past and present) goat milk, i have always had good results using it. do not over do it though as it tends to pack on the pounds. when they are young i give it after a meal every other day, as they get older i give to them once or twice a week.
for people, it does help with allergies, the theory behind it ( right or wrong)? is that goats eat a wide variety of weeds and grass which gets processed in their milk and in turn helps a human build resistance to certain allergies.
that could be as mentioned above an old wives tale, but i have never noticed any negative affects from using it.

Idk, I just don't understand the point of giving a dog milk lol. There really is no nutritional need for it

We raised a litter of abandoned pups at the shelter off goat's milk. I also know a breeder who supplements her puppies' diets with fresh goat's milk when the litters are large. I live in Kentucky. People here swear by the stuff. Haha.

[DumnEuronoumn]

that makes sense though.When the mother cannot produce enough, goat's milk IS the best option...but in all other cases I cannot imagine giving it to an adult dog lol

[envenonearo]

lol idk i am half tempted to try it now.. expecially if it helps with weight.. ruckus is still sucked up even eating the extreme athlete she is to hyper

[envenonearo]

where i live all i can find is powdered goats milk..darn! lol

[Desflahd]

It works the same.

I you buy a goat to milk, you have to get her pregnant and have a kid to have milk. But then you have two goats. And if it's a Billy goat kid get ready to make it into dog meat fast cause they are pain's in the butts.

But this might work out well if you feed raw! You just have to make your self kill a baby goat, which are pretty cute when small

I am NOT killing a baby goat.. lol honestly i dont think i could even let violet kill the baby goat. Id make a horrible hunter lol

[Desflahd]

Wean the kid and sell it. As long as you keep milking the mother she'll keep producing.

[envenonearo]

perfect! you buy 2 goats breed em sale the male sale the kid.. and then milk her. you got your money back on the goats so she was free so your milk just cost what you spend to feed her lol.. sounds better than the freaking $25 a gallon the health food i jsut found wants

[SoftrermaBioniaSat]

Well... You have to find someone who wants to buy a goat. When I bought my goat they tried to give me two more for free! Some people eat goat, depending on where you live...
But sooner or later the females stop producing milk, they just don't keep it flowing forever, that's just how it go's.
Then you have to breed em again.
Now they do have stud goats... and that's another story

[envenonearo]

lol that is ridiculous..

[Peter Hill]

This whole conversation.

[envenonearo]

Haha yea just a lil
