Dairy Intolerance in Pets

Dairy products are another common trigger for food intolerance in pets. Many dogs and cats struggle to digest lactose, the sugar found in milk.

Signs of Dairy Intolerance

Symptoms may include:

• Gas and bloating

• Diarrhoea

• Stomach discomfort

• Vomiting

• Skin irritation

Some pets lack the enzyme lactase, which is needed to properly digest lactose.

Managing Dairy Sensitivity

Pet owners may find improvement by:

• Avoiding milk-based treats

• Switching to dairy-free diets

• identifying hidden dairy ingredients in pet foods
