Why Goat Milk for Dogs and Cats is the GOAT 🐐

For over five years, Brutus Broth has been on a mission to nourish your pets while giving back to the community. Sister-founded and led, we became the #1 meal topper for dogs. After hearing endless stories about Brutus Broth transforming pet lives everywhere, we began formulating the first all-natural, human-grade, shelf-stable goat milk. So, what the fluff is goat milk for pets?

Goat Milk by Brutus Bone Broth is a functional, all-natural, human-grade meal topper for pets that is furthering our mission of supporting pet wellbeing everywhere. Though many of our products focus on improving dog joint and hip health, goat milk is unique as it supports gut health for dogs and cats. That’s right; this new product caters not only to the health of dogs but also to the health of cats. 

Similar to our bone broths, Goat Milk by Brutus Bone Broth is aseptically packaged, making it the first shelf-stable goat milk for pets! Yup, you read that right – you only need to refrigerate our Goat Milk after you open it, and it’ll stay fresh for up to 30 days. Say goodbye to messy powdered milk mixtures and hard-to-thaw frozen goat milk blocks because with Goat Milk by Brutus Bone Broth, your dog can enjoy the creamy goodness they deserve with convenience and functionality. 

Unlike other types of dairy products like whipped cream or cow’s milk, goat milk is gentle and functional on the digestive system. Packed with prebiotics like oligosaccharides, goat milk helps feed “good” and healthy gut bacteria that ensure the gut microbiome remains balanced, aiding digestive issues. 

Our Goat Milk is also a great source of calcium. And yes, calcium for dogs is essential. Just like humans, as dogs and cats age, they lose calcium. By contributing to pet bone and dental health, calcium helps your pets remain youthful and healthy so they can continue to play throughout their years.

Why Goat Milk for Dogs and Cats?

Many pet owners don’t know that most cats and dogs are lactose intolerant. They keep feeding their pets dairy (because how can you skip a puppacino?!), not knowing that it's negatively affecting their pet’s digestive health. While some signs are clear, such as vomiting and diarrhea, some reactions can be less obvious, causing internal struggles and abdominal pain. 

Traditional cow’s milk can be difficult for dogs and cats to digest because it contains high levels of lactose. Goat milk, on the other hand, contains less lactose and has smaller fat globules, making it easier to digest for most pets. That’s why goat milk has come to be known as the “universal milk” over time because it’s easier to process, even for species with a wide range of sensitivities. 

Ever heard of A2 milk? Goat milk is naturally an A2 milk, meaning it predominantly contains the A2 form of beta-casein protein. Both dogs and cats naturally produce A2 milk, which means they are designed to digest it more easily compared to regular milk.
