The effects of standard cow, goat and lactose-free cow milk powder on lactose intolerance symptoms and the nutritional status of dogs was studied. Forty adult Springer Spaniels with lactose intolerance were randomly allocated into four groups with ten dogs each and fed one of the milk powders or water for 21 d. The milk powders were reconstituted daily by diluting 10 g milk powder to 60 g water and 2 g milk powder/kg body weight was provided ad libitum and refusals were monitored daily. Lactose intolerance was assessed by faecal composition and pH, water and lactose contents. Biochemical markers for nutritional status were analysed. Feeding intolerance and lactose in faecal samples were observed in dogs fed the standard cow and goat milk powder, but not for the lactose-free milk powder or control groups. The high- and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased in all milk powder groups, while there were no other differences in nutritional status measurement. The results suggested that feeding lactose-free milk powder to dogs with lactose intolerance reduced the occurrence of symptoms, thereby enhancing the health and wellbeing of dogs.
