Can my dog have goat-milk powder on its first day home? Online says not if it hasn’t had it before, but I’m unsure.

Goat-milk powder on day one is okay, but first learn what it ate before and feed the same food to avoid gut stress. Pet goat-milk formula can replace mother’s milk for pups under 45 days; older pups can have warm water or goat-milk-softened puppy kibble.

Watch for soft stool, diarrhea, or vomiting, and stop and consult a vet if they appear.
