In humans, transmission of bacteria causing fatal sepsis in the neonates through mother’s milk hasbeen reported. In dogs, it is believed that bacteria from canine milk are not the primary cause of neonatal infections.Staphylococcus pseudintermediusis colonizing the skin and mucocutaneous junctions in adult dogs and can act as an opportunistic pathogen. This bacterium was previously isolated from the canine milk and, although,its transmission from the dam’s milk to the newborn puppies causing a neonatal sepsis was suggested, this hypothesis has not been confirmed.
