Guest grey_dreams Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Started giving the the doggies raw goat's milk from Answers about three weeks ago. It has a very high nutritional profile. I'm really happy with the results, and all the kids love it! Even my uber-picky cat comes running when she hears me shaking the carton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubcitypam Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Used to drink it all the time when I lived in rural OK. My then BF had an uncle that had goats. He'd go visit uncle Haskell and come back with a bunch of Mason jars...some filled with goats milk and some filled with moonshine, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartdogs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Lots of breeders use this for newborns. As long as you don't live in Maine you can even feed it to human babies. It used to given to babies that couldn't digest cow's milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RMarie Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 How fitting you posted this, as I'm considering starting James on raw goat's milk. Did you notice any ill effects in the poop arena? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgrey Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I had not heard of this particular product, but just last night I was reading about Steve's Raw Goat Milk Yogurt. It's supposed to be packed with probiotics and other good stuff. Thinking about trying it, but will also check out Answers as well. Thanks for posting this.

Guest MnMDogs Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 It is fabulous! We started it when all 3 of ours had liquid diarrhea a couple months ago. They love it and their poop is so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Katherineaz Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 When we would bring home our Cavalier puppies we would use 1/2 Goats milk and 1/2 water for a couple of months. They always loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest grey_dreams Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 The woman who owns Answers has a PhD in microbiology. She drinks the raw goat milk that she sells, and even lets the cartons stand unopened at room temperature for 2 weeks to let it turn to curds, which she eats. They source from two specific types of goats that have the highest nutritional value, best bacteria, and best fats. Then they add a couple more types of bacteria, honey, and cinnamon. The dogs get raw grind from Primal, and I just add the raw goat milk to their food. I don't give the full recommended daily dosage (because of $$$$), but they get a hefty splash for each meal, twice a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scarter55 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I recently listened to Cooked (recorded version) on a road trip. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in learning about cooking, not just from a practical standpoint, but also a historical and socialogical POV as well. Anyway, there is a section on probiotics and the author talks at length about the pros and cons of raw dairy products. He basically argues that proper handling has much more to do with the safety of dairy products than pasteurization. While the process definitely regulates the dairy industry and undoubtedly makes it easier to prevent e.coli or salmonella outbreaks on a national level, there are many food related illnesses caused by pasteurized products that weren't refridgerated properly. He then went on to make some very compelling arguments for the beneficial bacteria contained in raw milk. Definitely made me want to try it, both for myself and for the dog. He also cited evidence that pasteurization has caused many dairy farmers to become very lax in their cleanliness since they know that the product is going to be pasteurized. Some pretty bad stories about that. Of course, these farms aren't selling their product raw, but just be careful where you source any raw products from.

Guest grey_dreams Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Pasteurization also destroys the beneficial enzymes in raw milk, including lactase, which aids in the metabolism of lactose in milk. Lactose intolerance is the reason why so many can't drink pasteurized milk (and why many animals can't tolerate pasteurized cow's milk). Even for those who are not lactose-intolerant, the intake of high lactose levels in milk (and products made from pasteurized milk) can cause imbalances in other metabolic pathways that are not desirable.
