Can Dogs Eat Milk?
Verdict
Feed with caution
Most adult dogs are lactose intolerant.
Why it is risky
Adult dogs produce little lactase. Cow's milk often causes diarrhoea, gas, and vomiting.
Safe portion
Best avoided. Tiny amounts of plain low-lactose options like lactose-free milk may be tolerated.
Always consult your vet. If your dog has eaten something you're worried about — or shows any unusual symptoms — call your veterinarian or a pet poison helpline immediately. This page is editorial guidance, not emergency advice for an individual animal.
