At Furship, every ingredient in our treats is carefully chosen to prioritize your furry friend’s health and happiness. One of the star ingredients in our recipes is goat milk—a nutrient-rich and gentle alternative to cow milk. But why goat milk, and why not regular cow milk? Let’s dig into the details to help you understand our choice.
Why Goat Milk?
Goat milk is a powerhouse ingredient for dogs. It’s packed with nutrients and has several benefits that make it ideal for canine diets:
1. Easier to Digest
Goat milk contains smaller fat globules and lower lactose levels than cow milk, making it gentler on sensitive stomachs. Many dogs who struggle with lactose intolerance can enjoy goat milk without the upset tummies.
2. Rich in Nutrients
Goat milk is full of vitamins and minerals, including calcium, magnesium, and potassium, which support strong bones, muscle function, and overall health. It also contains probiotics that promote a healthy gut.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Unlike cow milk, goat milk is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can benefit dogs with allergies, arthritis, or other chronic conditions.
4. Boosts Hydration
Goat milk’s high water content makes it a fantastic way to keep your pup hydrated, especially during the hot summer months.
Why Not Cow Milk?
While cow milk may seem like a common choice, it’s not the best option for dogs. Here’s why we avoid it in our treats:
1. Higher Lactose Levels
Many dogs lack the enzyme needed to break down lactose, which can lead to bloating, gas, and diarrhea. Cow milk’s higher lactose content makes it a common culprit for digestive issues.
2. Harder to Digest Proteins
The proteins in cow milk are larger and more complex, making them harder for dogs to digest. This can lead to food sensitivities or allergic reactions over time.
3. Inflammation Risks
Cow milk can exacerbate inflammation in dogs with underlying conditions like arthritis or allergies, making it a less-than-ideal ingredient.

We use goat milk to enhance the flavor, texture, and nutritional value of our treats. Whether it’s our crunchy biscuits or creamy frostings, goat milk ensures every bite is delicious and beneficial for your dog.
