Many people are convinced that it is beneficial for cats to eat milk and milk-based products - cream, sour cream, cottage cheese, kefir.

Other owners are more reserved in this matter: they prefer to feed animals with specially designed formulations.

However, the discussion is still open. Some are sure that cow's milk is only good for you, while others are convinced that the product can harm your pet's health.

Who is right in this matter?

Experts note that the truth is on the side of people who do not give cats milk and milk-based products. This is a smart and correct decision.

Giving such products to adult animals is even more dangerous.

Almost all cats are lactose intolerant. As a result, consuming dairy products leads to problems with the digestive system.

Therefore, you should not experiment with your pet's diet: milk should be prohibited. Even if your pet literally begs for milk, you should not give in to provocations.
