Why would you ever want to give your dog whipped cream? He is not a human child who can tolerate milk products. When newborn puppies and kittens are rejected by their mothers, special milk is purchased from a vet to feed these babies. When they get older, some people continue to give their cats some milk but not a dog. As much as milk and milk products are tolerated by cats, they should no longer receive any more of this. Farm cats will develop a tolerance to cow’s milk and will always drink it with no side effects. There was a time before pasteurized milk was discovered that all pure milk, as it was called was always boiled to prevent health problems with infants and young children. Welcome Dr. Louis Pasteur for having come up with the solution of pasteurized milk, named after him. Please stay clear of any dairy products for your animals just to be safe and definitely no ice-cream. Take care. RR.
