Milk offers many nutritional benefits to puppies, especially when weaning off of their mothers milk. Although adult dogs may grow up to have a lactose tolerance issue, puppies are born with an enzyme that helps them digest and get the nutrients from the milk, whether it be cows milk or goats milk. Milk encourages strong bones and offers puppies the much needed energy that they require everyday. Although they can benefit from it, it is by no means necessary for puppies to drink milk. The only milk needed for them in their mother’s milk.

Mothers typically start weaning their pups off of their milk around 3 weeks. The weaning process usually last up to 8 weeks and sometimes a little longer. When puppies are nursing from their mothers, they do not need any other supplements, so giving them cow’s or goat’s milk would only do them damage and not benefit them in any way. Never give a puppy any kind of milk while it is still nursing.

By the time the puppies are 8 weeks of age, solid foods should make up the majority, if not all of their daily diet. Water is also very important at this age and should be the only source of liquid the puppies should be drinking.

So enjoy the milk now you little fluff balls, in a couple of weeks that delicious milk is going to become puppy food and a bowl of cold water!
