Contains calcium but lactose causes digestive upset in adults. When introducing Milk for the first time, start with a smaller amount than recommended and wait 24 hours to check for any adverse reaction before offering more.

⚠️ Always avoid: Large amounts cause diarrhea and gas — these parts should never be given to your Samoyed.
