More people in the world drink milk from goats than from any other species. Goats produce unique, healthy milk with many benefits for our body and the environment. It is less processed because homogenization is not necessary. Dairy goats also need less water to produce a gallon of milk than most other dairy livestock.

Dietary benefits for pets include increased digestibility. The smaller size fat particles in goat milk produce smallers curds in a dog’s stomach. These smaller curds are more rapidly broken down by enzymes in the pet’s stomach making it easier to digest. Goat milk is packed with vitamins, minerals, protein, fatty acids and natural enzymes. Natural enzymes such as lipase, lactase and phosphatase help your pet metabolize essential nutrients. The probiotics of raw goat milk support the growth of beneficial bacteria, promoting positive gut health. Raw milk is essentially a “living” food that offers healthpromoting components that would otherwise be destroyed by heat during pasteurization. Goat’s milk is alkaline much unlike cow’s milk and the majority of animals and dairy products which are acid forming. When your body is acidic, disease and other damaging conditions are able to thrive, due to increased inflammation

According to Answers Pet Foods, a leading raw pet food company in the country says that goat milk is one of the very few foods that is complete and the perfect food for dogs. They suggest that raw goat milk is a natural and effortless way to enhance your pet’s diet.

Current Nevada law allows the sale of raw goat milk, however the only way it can be purchased is with an additive (activated charcoal) for pets in Nevada. There is a petition to remove the additives. www.change.org/p/nevada-department-of-agriculture-legalize-the-sale-of-raw-milk-for-pets-in-nevada
