After all, your furry friends drink their mother's milk, but when it comes to dairy substitutes, it is a big Noooo. Milk is not toxic to your furry friends, meaning your four-legged friend can have a lick! Most dogs love dairy products, meaning that milk and other milk-based products remain popular additions to canine diets. But, it's not recommended that they drink it regularly, and the reasons might surprise you.

IS MILK SAFE FOR MY LITTLE PUTZI.......
