Can I administer infant formula to my lactating dog?
LOL. No, and dont contribute it to the puppies either. Stop being cheap and go buy some doggie milk from Pet Co.
No. Lactating females should be feed a high quality puppy food. NO milk products of any sort- no human formula, no puppy formula, no cow's milk- they can and will cause stomach upset.
Answers: Human baby formula is NOT good for lactating dogs. Dogs are not able to properly digest the lactose surrounded by such formulas, and there are also trace elements in the formulas specifically designed for human infants that may make your dog sick.
Giving your dog puppy chow at this stage is best for her. It have minerals and vitamins that will help your dog produce high quality milk for her pups. Let her munch through as much as she wants, as often as she wants. (She won't carry fat.) When she's done nursing, slowly put her back on her normal dog food.
No.
