Default milk and dogs

Hi,

I am no expert on dogs since I often have more questions than answers. But I had a German Shepherd who was a very finicky eater. She really had no interest in food. I spoiled her by cooking lowfat meats and organ meats to mix with her dry food to get her to eat.

About milk what I heard from our vet was to absolutely avoid giving dairy products to dogs. Our other dog also loved milk and especially ice cream and we gave her daily. Apparently it is OK to occasionally give a piece of cheese or other dairy products as a treat, but not regularly. However, for some reason a small dose of yogurt is recommended regularly to help with the bacteria balance in the digestion.

I am just passing on what our vet said and I would love to hear more opinions myself.
