It’s no secret that cats love milk! Some owners let their cats have milk regularly, while others provide a little dairy to their furry friends as a special treat. Are there any benefits to letting your cat drink milk?

Unfortunately, your cat doesn’t get any nutritional value from milk. The few nutrients it might provide can be found in their cat food. In addition, milk can be extremely difficult for cats to digest. Some cats may end up with diarrhea, while others may get sick.

This might deter you from giving your cat milk, but there is at least one benefit to providing them with a little dairy. It makes a great treat! Just make sure you don’t give your cat too much. For help deciding if your cat can handle milk, click here, or call your veterinarian Orangevale, CA.
