Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | 11 months and 1 day old | 35 lbs
Hello, Actually my dog don't want to eat her dry food so i tried to put milk with her dry food meal as i know that she likes milk, and now she is eating all her food but it should be with milk if i give her the meal without milk she will not eat, so my question is Is it okay for her health to have milk every day with her dry food or not? And is it okay to mix the milk with dry food?.

Milk is very hard on a dog's digestive tract and may cause stomach upset or diarrhea. If Elma likes the taste of milk, a lactose-free variety or even "cat milk" from your local pet store (that is milk like but less hard on the stomach) may help entice Elma's eating without upsetting her stomach.
