Is cottage cheese considered the same as milk when referring to lactose intolerance?
It appears that a lot of people mention lactose intolerance in dogs, but many suggest adding yoghurt or cottage cheese. Do they affect dogs differently?

Yes! Lactose intolerant refers to any dairy product. cottage cheese, regular cheese, sour cream, yogurt, milk, ice cream, cream, etc
However, many dogs eat cheese and sour cream. i let me dog lick the sour cream spoon all the time and he is fine.
Small amounts of dairy are fine, just don’t give your dog a big bowl of milk instead of water.
Not all dogs are Lactose Intolerant though. Unlike cats, this varies between each dog. Some dogs will have issues with small amounts of dairy while other dogs could eat anything with no issues.
Test you dog out with small amounts, if it makes him sick don’t give it to him again.
Some dogs do get diarrhea from cottage cheese, but most do not. Mine do very well with cottage cheese and yogurt.
Lactose intolerance refers to all dairy products.
It depends who diagnosed your dog, first of all.
They are indeed basically the same thing. They are made with milk. If you want to try to give it to them, and you have a Whole Foods nearby, go and buy “Nancy’s” cultured cottage cheese. It contains cultures just like yogurt, which help your dogs digestive system.
Cultures are “probiotics” and these are healthy friendly bacteria. Probiotics keep the dogs stomach in top shape.
You can give probiotics without milk, by buying an ‘enzyme and probiotic’ in powder form that you just add to the dogs food.
Enzymes help a dog to digest food. If you give your dog dry dog food, it definitely needs enzymes. Try this brand- ANIMAL ESSENTIALS Plant Enzymes & Probiotics.
Here’s what you do. Sprinkle about a quarter to a half tsp on the food once a day. I give my dogs cultured cottage cheese, two or three times a week, just a spoonful, but its not necessary. They just love it.
Try ANIMAL ESSENTIALS Plant Enzymes & Probiotics and you will see a difference. Also, they won’t have gas. My dogs used to have bad gas. But not anymore.
I have found that the ANIMAL ESSENTIALS Plant Enzymes & Probiotics helps the dogs to digest milk easier too.
I do however, feed one of my dogs raw food, and the other one eats completely grain free. He just loves cheese and yogurt tho!!
If you do try yogurt, here is a great recipe!!
1 container of PLAIN organic FAT FREE yogurt.
1 RIPE banana
1 TBS of NATURAL peanut butter
Mash the banana, add all ingredients into a blender, or mix by hand until well mixed. Feed 1/4 cup of yogurt to the dogs as is, or freeze it for an extra yummy treat! You can freeze it in an ice cube tray, and then give them 2 or three cubes at a time!
Good Luck!
