The Power of Goat's Milk: Nature's Perfect Superfood for Your Cat or Dog
At B&T Pets, we're always searching for the purest, most beneficial ingredients to support your pet's health and happiness. That's why we're excited to introduce our freeze-dried goat's milk – a nutrient-dense superfood that's been nourishing animals (and humans) for thousands of years.
Our goat's milk is produced by pasture raised animals on an Ontario farm. We source the same high-quality, raw goat's milk that is sold for human consumption. We then freeze-dry it in our B&T Pets Kitchen, preserving all the natural goodness while creating a convenient, shelf-stable product.
In this post we will talk more about:
Why Goat's Milk is Superior to Cow's Milk for Pets
Unlike cow's milk, which can cause digestive upset in many cats and dogs, goat's milk is naturally easier to digest. The protein and fat molecules in goat's milk are smaller and more similar to those found in a mother's milk, making it gentler on sensitive stomachs.
The Incredible Health Benefits of Goat's Milk for Pets
1. Enhanced Digestibility and Gut Health
Goat's milk contains natural probiotics and prebiotics that support healthy gut bacteria. The smaller fat globules and different protein structure make it up to 4 times more digestible than cow's milk, reducing the risk of digestive upset, gas, or diarrhea.
2. Rich in Essential Nutrients
Goat's milk is packed with:
High-quality protein for muscle development and maintenance
Calcium and phosphorus for strong bones and teeth
Vitamin A for healthy vision and immune function
B-vitamins for energy metabolism and nervous system health
Potassium for heart and muscle function
Selenium, a powerful antioxidant
3. Natural Hydration Support
When reconstituted, goat's milk provides an excellent way to increase your pet's water intake – especially beneficial for cats who tend to drink less water naturally.
4. Immune System Boost
Goat's milk contains immunoglobulins and other immune-supporting compounds that can help strengthen your pet's natural defenses against illness and infection.
5. Skin and Coat Health
The healthy fats and vitamins in goat's milk contribute to a shiny, healthy coat and can help soothe skin irritations from the inside out.
6. Perfect for Sensitive Pets
Many pets with food sensitivities or allergies can tolerate goat's milk when they can't handle other dairy products. It's naturally lower in lactose than cow's milk.
Three Ways to Serve B&T Pets Freeze-Dried Goat's Milk
As a Meal Topper: Sprinkle the powder onto your pet's regular food as a nutritious meal topper that adds not just flavour, but nutrients as well.
Reconstituted: Mix with water (in a 1:1 ratio) to create fresh goat's milk that can be poured over food or served as a special treat.
Straight from the Package: Some pets love licking the powder directly from the shaker – it's perfectly safe and nutritious!
