Hi! Studies show that some dogs can tolerate milk in their stomach while others don't. One reason is that cow and goat's milk contain a higher amount of lactose compare to a dog's milk. Usually dogs who can not tolerate milk can have gas and loose stool. But this does not mean milk is bad for dogs. If a dog can tolerate milk it is ok to feed them milk and it is a good source of calcium and protein. I am just a pet technician, and I can only give suggestions or information so it is advisable to seek your veterinarian's advice on this matter. I hope I answer your question.
