I have seen this on Hare Today and another few websites, and one of my local stores is carrying it too.

What's the deal?

Is it worth checking out?

I am FAR from an expert, but I don't think I would feed it. Isn't it DAIRY rather than meat?

raw goat milk is an excellent product. I wean all my litters on it. It is highly digestible for dogs and good for them too. Goat milk is fine - cow milk is another story! Stay away from cow milk or get the hose ready ...

its not lactose free, but its very easy to digest so people (and pets) that are lactose intolerant can drink it with no problems.
Raw goat's milk is an excellent food. While it does contain lactose, unpasterized raw milk also contains lactase which counters the lactose which makes it suitable for lactose intolerance.

Many of my clients' that has animals with kidney issues or other ailments feed raw goats' milk because it's tremendously nutritious and it's highly easy to digest. I feed it 2-3 times a week just as an nutritional boost.

all due respect, i would not give my dogs goat milk....i can't speak for puppies, since i haven't yet transitioned a puppy to raw....

but humans and dogs do not need milk, once we wean off the mother.

goat's milk has 11 grams of sugar in a cup of milk
that's 11 grams too many, in my book.
it has 122 mg of sodium.....

i think a grown dog and human do not need to drink milk from any source.

just my opinion.

YES! I have never liked milk - neither do my two siblings... (and neither does my son!) We're not lactose intolerant, it's just icky :p So now we have an excuse!

I wouldn't give it to adult dogs. However, if you were weaning puppies (or kittens) I would say it's the best thing you could use.

They completely lost me with this:

"Milk is raw food designed by nature. When we feed raw milk to our pets, it is equivalent to giving them raw organ meat, raw fat and raw bones. It is the easiest most complete way to deliver raw nutrition."

I don't buy it...no way.
