WHAT IS RAW GOAT MILK?

Raw goat milk is milk, straight from a goat, that is not pasteurized. During the pasteurization process, good gut bacteria (probiotics) are “cooked” out of the milk—which is why the raw form is so great!  

Just like with any other raw food, raw milk is good for dogs & cats because it contains good bacteria that is not “cooked” out, allowing pets to actually absorb the nutrients from the food they eat. Raw milk is filled with natural minerals like calcium, vitamins, enzymes, and trace elements. 

Like with any other raw product, there are plenty of scare tactics to keep consumers away from consuming raw goat milk. Sure, goat milk (or any raw food) can contain harmful pathogens but if you are getting the milk (or raw food) from a high-quality source, the chances of this decrease significantly. 

All the goats that we source milk from are humanely-raised on small farms and are fed the best food, meaning you have nothing to worry about when it comes to your pet’s safety!
