Dogs- milk or kefir?

[spo1977]

How do dogs handle milk or kefir?

My dog has gotten really gassy lately. I saw mention of Probiotics in another thread. I was hoping that would help her. I can give her Primal Defense, but she is not much of a pill taker. I would rather just put some milk or kefir in her dish.

You can give them kefir, I don't recommend milk, it tends to give diarrhea. doses of Kefir on her food, and buy a can of pumpkin and give her a couple spoonfuls a day, couple times a day, for a couple days. Don't give her PD, it's the wrong type of microbes.

Darn,
I did give her Primal Defense, but only twice now. I will stop. Her gas has disappeared and it might have been before I gave her the PD anyway. I think I will do the kefir on her dog food and some pumpkin too just to strengthen her stomach and digestion. Thanks as always.

Oh, no harm done! they might have helped too.
