Hi, I have a dog age 1 year and he is very fussy. He have gastrointestinal since pup and as he grew he hate dog's food. I have tried mixing with wet food and veterinarian advice not too as he have gastric, so I tried sprinkling dog's milk into his food and he enjoys it. Is it good or bad to mix dog's food and sprinkling milk? He is very fussy and spoiled that he wanted different flavors everyday. Only sprinkle milk makes him eat. Please guide me.

Hello, Scooby can have milk in his food as long as he tolerates it well. Some dogs may have hypersensitivity to milk proteins so if Scooby develops any diarrhea or vomiting with the milk than discontinue sprinkling milk on his food. Hope this helps and best of luck.
