Question
should pugs eat only dogfood?can they drink milk?

Answer
No, dogs cannot tolerate (cow) milk; it will give them diarrhea. A dog should only be given a good-quality dog food, with possibly fresh fruits and vegetables *in moderation* as a treat.

When shopping for a dog food, make sure the first ingredient is a meat protein, or preferably a meat meal, the grains are limited, and there are *NO* by-products in the food. Also make sure the food contains no ethoxyquin or menadione sodium bisulfate, menadione sodium bisulfite, menadione dimethylprimidinol sulfate, menadione dimethylprimidinol sulfite or menadione dimethylpyrimidinol bisulfite, often listed as "a source of vitamin K activity" or "vitamin K supplement".
