Here's why:
* Lactose intolerance: Most adult dogs are lactose intolerant. Milk contains lactose, a sugar that they have trouble digesting. This can lead to diarrhea, gas, and other digestive issues.
* Nutritional needs: A 10-month-old puppy has different nutritional needs than a nursing puppy. They require a balanced diet of puppy food, meat, and vegetables. Milk alone does not provide the necessary nutrients for their growth and development.
* Alternatives: There are many puppy-safe alternatives to milk, such as goat's milk or lactose-free milk. However, it's best to consult with your veterinarian before giving your puppy any type of milk, as they can advise you on the best options.
Instead of milk, focus on providing your puppy with a high-quality puppy food and other healthy foods like:
* Cooked chicken, turkey, or beef
* Cooked vegetables (carrots, broccoli, peas)
* Plain yogurt (in moderation)
Remember, a balanced diet is crucial for your puppy's health and well-being.
