When it comes to treating our dogs, most of us want the very best, something that’s not only delicious but actually good for them. Enter: goat’s milk. This natural powerhouse is quickly becoming a favourite among vets, dog nutritionists, and pet parents. And now, thanks to Axel’s Elixir, there’s a whole new reason to get excited. They’ve just launched their new Milk and Honey range, a functional, feel-good bone-broth blend made with the finest whole British goat’s milk and honey responsibly harvested by their friends at Buckley’s Bees.
What are the benefits of goat’s milk for dogs?
The benefits of goat milk can be seen (and smelled) in everyday life. Here’s what many pet parents notice after introducing this natural superfood:
- Improved stool consistency – Firmer, more regular poops with noticeably less odour? Yes, please. Goat’s milk helps support a balanced gut microbiome, which often leads to better bathroom habits.
- Less itching and paw licking – Particularly in dogs with sensitivities or seasonal allergies, the anti-inflammatory properties in goat’s milk can help calm skin irritation and reduce excessive scratching or licking.
- Increased energy and alertness – Thanks to its easily absorbed nutrients and natural fatty acids, many dogs show a noticeable boost in vitality and mental sharpness.
- Shinier, healthier coat – Over time, goat’s milk can improve skin hydration and reduce dandruff, leaving your dog’s coat softer, glossier, and visibly healthier.
Is goat’s milk better than cow’s milk?
Goat’s milk is often considered a healthier alternative to cow’s milk for dogs due to its easier digestibility and nutritional profile. Many dogs, and even humans, tolerate goat’s milk better, thanks to its naturally lower lactose content. This makes it a great option for some lactose-intolerant dogs or those with sensitive stomachs. However, while goat’s milk is generally gentler, dogs with severe dairy allergies may still experience digestive issues or reactions to milk proteins.
How to serve goat’s milk to your dog?
The easiest way to serve goat’s milk is with Axel’s Elixir’s Milk and Honey range, conveniently frozen and ready to go. Serve straight from the freezer as a cooling treat on hot days, crumble over meals as a nourishing food topper, or let it melt for a refreshing, nutrient-rich drink your dog will lap up.
