Milk powder supplies protein and minerals and helps immunity and growth in moderation. But some dogs are lactose intolerant; baby formula can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and poor appetite, so use pet formula or lactose-free formula.
Milk powder is also high in fat; frequent use can cause obesity and chronic-disease risk, so feed in moderation.

My Teddy got the runs from regular milk, so I switched to pet formula and he was fine, lactose hits small dogs hard. Milk powder's okay in moderation if it's lactose-free or made for pets, but the fat content means don't overdo it or you're shopping for obesity and pancreas trouble. If yours drank some and is loose or off, pull it and watch. Use pet-specific formula, skip the human stuff.
