Is it alright if fully grown dogs drink milk. Because i gave my two dogs (one year old and 6 years old) milk today. Is that alright?

No its not alright to give adult dogs milk as they are lactose intolerant unless you enjoy giving them stomach cramps and the diarrhea. Dogs become lactose intolerant after one year of age as they no longer need their mothers milk. So from birth till age one dogs have the ability to digest their mothers milk and cows milk. BUT if you want to still give your dogs cows milk then give them lactaid milk or better yet give them soy milk or rice milk. My dogs both enjoy lactaid or soy milk. Hope this helps.

You might be seeing diarrhea anytime in the near future. Dogs are lactose intolerant and Milk usually causes diarrhea. But you may be lucky and they'll be fine with it and not suffer from diarrhea.

it is ok but if you do i recommend lactose free milk cos dogs don't have the enzymes needed to break down the lactose and it will upset their stomachs and they might get bad gas or diarrhea.
i give my dog weet bix with calcium powder and lactose free milk for breakfast.

Dogs are omnivores, so they can eat anything with some degree of success, just like us. HOWEVER, like us, if they're not used to something it might make them sick, they might have bad gas or diarrhea.
I wouldn't continue it - there's no other wild canine who is drinking cow mike at age 6... its not a natural food for them.

I know dogs can't eat ice cream, it will make them sick. So ... I would assume the same goes for any dairy. They don't need it so don't give it to them.

Not in large quantities. But it may give them gas. And dog farts are smelly.
