9. Dairy Products: Not Every Dog Loves Ice Cream
While some dogs can tolerate dairy in small amounts, others may have trouble digesting it. Most dogs are lactose intolerant, which means they lack the enzyme needed to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk.
The Dairy Dilemma
Feeding your dog dairy products can lead to digestive upset, including diarrhea and vomiting. In some cases, it can also cause allergic reactions. If you want to treat your dog, it’s better to opt for dairy-free alternatives specifically designed for pets.
Fun Fact: While many dogs enjoy the taste of cheese, it’s high in fat and can contribute to obesity and pancreatitis. Moderation is key if you choose to share a small piece with your pup.
