Goat milk is well recognised around the world for its multitude of health benefits. Commonly referred to as the ‘universal milk’, it is the only milk accepted as being safe for consumption by all mammals.
Goat Milk is Good for the Immune System
Goat milk naturally helps increase the good bacteria in the digestive tract and this good gut health in turn leads to a stronger immune system.
High levels of antioxidants along with Vitamins A and C work together to protect against oxidative stress, further strengthening the immune system.
Goat Milk is Good for Allergy Relief
Processed food and/or food additives can cause pets to develop food intolerances or allergies. Some of the common symptoms of this are skin irritations, hair loss, abdominal discomfort, eye discharge, lack of energy and/or digestive upsets.
Because goat milk is easy to digest, it helps reduce pressure on the digestive system and can help relieve some of these symptoms.
Goat Milk is Good for Reducing Inflammation
High levels of vitamins and minerals such as selenium, fatty acids and zinc fight inflammation and can provide relief from arthritis and achy joints.
Goat Milk is Good for Improving Hydration
Adequate hydration is vital for healthy pets and a well functioning urinary system. Due to its high water content and natural electrolytes and sodium, goat milk itself is a great source of hydration. If you are struggling to get your pet to drink sufficient water, add some to the goat milk to increase the level of hydration they are receiving each time they drink the milk.
Goat Milk is Good for the Digestive System
Goat milk is digested in as little as 20 minutes and has a high level of bio-available nutrients therefore reducing the chance of digestive upsets and improving the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.
The A2 proteins in goat milk make its sugars easier to digest. This means that even animals who are typically lactose intolerant, can benefit from the goodness of goat milk.
Goat milk naturally contains probiotics which are beneficial for the population of healthy gut bacteria.
Goat Milk is Good for Healthy Skin, Coats, Bones and Teeth
Rich in biotin, goat milk strengthens hair follicles and promotes the growth of healthy hair. Applied topically, the fatty acids in goat milk will be absorbed by the skin, moisturising and soothing dry, irritated patches.
The minerals in goat milk make it great for strong bones and dental health.
Goat Milk is Good for Lactating Mums and Growing Babies
High levels of fat and calcium in the goat milk help replace the energy and nutrients lost through the birthing and nursing process. Please note that high levels of calcium should not be fed to your pets during pregnancy. We also discourage feeding raw milk to animals under the age of 4 weeks - but you can pasteurise the milk at home by heating the milk to 72 degrees for a minimum of 16 seconds if required (be sure to use a thermometer and a timer to ensure the milk is at the correct temperature for the full 16 seconds to ensure adequate pasteurisation.
