While many dogs love a piece of cheese or a lick of ice cream, not all can digest dairy. Here’s what every dog owner should know.
Why Are Some Dogs Lactose Intolerant?
Puppies produce lactase, the enzyme needed to digest lactose in milk. However, as they grow older, many dogs lose this enzyme, leading to lactose intolerance.
Signs of Lactose Intolerance in Dogs
- Diarrhea
- Gas
- Stomach pain
