NO!!!!! Many dogs and puppies are LACTOSE INTOLERANT! They get diarrhea from milk. That is where the old and stupid myth about milk giving puppies worm started. They can have puppy formula, which is a little expensive, but if they have a mother, they do not need it. You can soak puppy kibble in warm water and feed that, and give water....but NO MILK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They are not calves!!!!!!!

No, cows milk does not have the nutrients a puppy needs. It can also cause diarrhea, which will dehydrate the dog.
Puppy milk replacer is available at most large pet stores, and places like wal-mart. That is your best bet.

If you're talking about pasteurized,homogenized milk you can purchase in a grocery store, the answer is definately "not".You can purchase the canned goat milk and delute with equal amounts of sterile water at any grocery,or any local feed store has puppy milk in a can that compares to the Moms milk.

I wouldn't give it to them, because dairy is not generally good for dogs. They should get dog's milk, or they need to be on a formula so they get all the nutrients they need. You wouldn't feed a human baby cow's milk, would you?

No because it produces worms,
the only thing that you give them is clean water and dry puppy food, nothing else because their stomachs are so delicate that they can easily get sick.

I wouldn't think they could. They are just like human babies in that way. I think they have really sensitive stomachs.
