My dog likes milk :) ?

Question

yesterday i was drinking milk on the couch, she came up to me and i had a little left in my cup so i let her have it. is this bad this was the only time. she is a 3 yr old maltese poodle.

Answer 1

I have a 2 year old toy poodle who LOVES milk.  He will cry at the fridge for some.  I buy 2% milk or him and give him a little every night, it has never given him an upset stomach nor has he gained any more weight...he may be a special case but I have never had a problem with giving him milk nor would I think there would be.  If in doubt ask your vet.  I don't believe it will hurt your dog if you give her a little every now and then.

Answer 2

My dog drinks milk occasionally, I don't see the problem in it. I asked by vet about it.. he says its nothing to worry about, as long as its not chocolate.  

Answer 3

She will be fine, but adult dogs shouldnt have milk.

Answer 4

It may cause her some tummy troubles.  Be careful!

Answer 5

I'd live off hot fudge sundaes if I could too.

It certainly isn't toxic, it's just a lot of fat for a little dog (or any dog for that matter). The worst you'll get is some stomach upset, diarrhea, and possibly some vomiting. OK for an occasional treat, but I'd keep it in small amounts and on rare occasions.
