From Pasture to Pint: The Journey of Our Camel Milk 🐪

June 18, 2025

You have heard of raw goat milk, you've heard of raw cow milk - but have you ever heard of raw camel milk for your pets?!

We get our camel milk from Camel Culture, their camels are truly pasture-raised on over 1,000 acres of rolling, organic hills in Missouri—the largest camel dairy in the U.S., with around 200 healthy, happy dromedaries on the farm. They graze on lush organic grasses and hay, supplemented with a vegetarian grain mix (flax, sunflower, alfalfa, oats)—100% non-GMO, soy-free, corn-free. This clean, controlled diet supports excellent herd health—tested monthly for TB, brucellosis, somatic cell count and pathogens—without using antibiotics or hormones.

Milking camels isn’t like milking cows: a camel will release milk only when her calf is present, and milking lasts just about 90 seconds per session. After milking, the milk is farm bottled in PET/BPA-free containers, then shipped frozen.

Nutrition Is Just the Beginning

Raw camel milk offers a nutrient-dense profile far beyond typical dairy:

Comparable in taste and texture to 2% cow milk—creamy, slightly sweet‑salty, and smooth.
10× more iron and 3× more vitamin C than cow’s milk, and richer in calcium, vitamins A, B, D, E, essential fatty acids, rare proteins, antioxidants—with lower saturated fat and cholesterol.
Naturally low‑lactose and non‑allergenic, missing two common dairy irritants: A1‑beta‑casein and lactoglobulins.
Contains natural probiotics & enzymes.

This makes camel milk a baseline powerhouse of nutrition—ideal for those needing more vitamins, minerals, immune support, or gentle digestion.

Ideal for Sensitive Pets… and Variety for Healthy Ones

If your pet is sensitive to cow or goat milk, camel milk is an amazing alternative—easy on digestion thanks to its low lactose and hypoallergenic proteins. Even pets without sensitivities benefit, as each raw milk (cow, goat, camel) has its own nutrient strengths, making camel milk a fantastic addition to rotate in for dietary variety and broadened nutrition.

Rotate with other raw milks (cow, goat) to offer your pets a rich spectrum of nutrients and naturally support holistic nutrition.

Final Sip

Raw camel milk is more than just a unique dairy—it's a nutrient-dense, gentle, and ethically sourced alternative perfect for those with sensitivities, or anyone wanting to diversify their pet's nutrition.
