Can I give my cat milk and sour cream? Veterinarian's answer
27.11.2023 16:05
Many pet owners are seriously concerned about their pets' diet. Many pamper their cats with table foods - dairy in particular.
But even if a cat loves milk and sour cream, this is not a reason to include these products in the daily diet.
Doctorpiter reports on whether it is possible to feed domestic cats dairy products, citing veterinarian B. Kornreich.
Cat and milk
Cats feed their kittens with milk, and this is a normal phenomenon.
But adult cats are unable to digest milk lactose. In this regard, cats are very similar to humans.
In addition, the protein casein contained in milk can cause allergies in pets.
Is it possible or not?
There is no harm in having dairy products in your cat's bowl occasionally rather than constantly.
Regular use may cause digestive problems, flatulence and diarrhea.
Because milk sugar will accumulate in the body and cannot be absorbed, dehydration may occur.
The consequences will have to be corrected with the help of a veterinarian.
