Is it okay for an animal to drink homogenized or pasturized milk?

Question

Will it harm an animal to drink homogenized or pasturized milk such as 2% or Vitamin D?

Answer 1

Cows milk isn't great for any animal (other than a baby cow and, arguably, humans). Cats and other pets generally get diarrhea if they drink much milk. Some are completely lactose intolerant (cats especially) and will vomit with just one sip (I had a cat like that!).

If you want to give a critter milk, get KMR or a similar milk replacement formula for whatever kind of critter it is. They have different ones for kittens and puppies (which is okay for adults too, though they don't typically need it). If you have another kind of animal (rabbit, squirrel, etc), contact a wildlife rescue or look on the web to see which kind of formula is best for that species.

Answer 2

Homogenization is the technique of breaking apart that fat into smaller sizes so as that it now now not separates from the milk. All 2% and comprehensive milks bought in grocery shops are Homogenized. as long because of the fact the milk you drank became Pasturized your infant would be high quality.

Answer 3

Pets have trouble digesting the enzymes in cow's milk. It can give them some diarrhea. I wouldn't feed them milk, if you are looking for treats to give your pet, there are tons of dog & cat treats made just for them. They only need water to drink.

Answer 4

You can buy baby milk for kittens and puppies at Kroger grocery store where the pet foods are or at a pet store if you don't have a grocery store that carries it.

Answer 5

As humans drink, they can drink too. unless they suffered of a kind of disease do to the milk components.
