Many dogs are lactose intolerant, which means their bodies aren't able to properly digest milk, often resulting in diarrhea or upset stomach. It's important to monitor your dog's symptoms. If they do not improve or if they worsen, it might be best to consult with a vet to ensure there's not a different underlying issue.
