Strawberry Chia Ice Cream for Pets, Dogs, Cats and Us

Today is Strawberry Ice Cream Day! There’s no getting around it— traditional ice cream isn’t the healthiest of foods.

It’s not uncommon for pets to experience diarrhea, gas, or vomiting when eating dairy products. For that matter, people can also be lactose intolerant.

Goat milk, on the other hand, is easier to digest than cow’s milk and actually aids in irritable bowel disease, digestion, and diarrhea! It is loaded with vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, protein, and fatty acids. High in vitamin A, which has cancer-fighting properties. Choose an organic, raw goat milk for the best nutritional benefits.
