absolutely. Dairy is simply any product made from or with products from lactation.

Goat’s milk cheese, goat cheese or Chèvre cheese is cheese made from goat’s milk (chèvre is French for goat). In regions where domesticated goats are kept, many kinds of goat’s milk cheeses are produced.
Although cow’s milk and goat’s milk have similar overall fat contents, the higher proportion of medium-chain fatty acids such as caproic, caprylic and capric acid in goat’s milk contributes to the characteristic tart flavor of goat’s milk cheese. (These fatty acids take their name from the Latin for goat, capra.)
Chèvre cheese is often served hot and is then called Chèvre chaud.

I’m afraid so. I hoped not as my mum has given up dairy and it’s hard to cook for her now!

Actually no, I don’t believe that it is because my mom can’t have dairy, and she has to use goat milk, and then makes her own cheese. So unless I am wrong, I think that dairy only includes cows milk.

Of course, a dairy refers to the place or practice of producing milk products. So even if the milk came from a tadpole it would still be a dairy product!

Yes, as all products of milk-origin are classed as dairy,and
goats cheese is obviously made of goats milk(which may be
classed as medicine,specially by pregnant women).

Or is it goatey?
A quick search shows that ‘capric’ is the adjective related to goatness … but I’ve never heard it used in reference to goats cheese.
I’d assume that diary encompasses goats milk
Coming from the other angle though – I think people talk about ‘diary’ when they really mean ‘bovine’. So ‘dairy intolerance’ actually can mean intolerance to cow milk derived products.
In those cases, goats milk does not fall into the same category.
To quote from the web site referenced below:
Goat milk, like cows milk and human milk, contain lactose, but many people (but not all) with lactose intolerance and cow milk allergies can drink goats milk.
