Cats can drink yogurt. Yogurt is rich in protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients and is a good source of nutritional supplements. Cats can get the above nutrients by eating yogurt.
Yoghurt contains some lactic acid bacteria, which can promote gastrointestinal motility in cats, help absorption and digestion, and can also reduce the effects of dental caries and periodontal bacteria in cats, and can prevent tooth decay and periodontitis.
Precautions for feeding yogurt to cats:
1. Pay attention to the feeding amount
When feeding yogurt to cats, you must pay attention to the feeding amount every day. Don't overfeed. Although yogurt is rich in nutritional value, it is rich in probiotics after all, which has a strong effect on promoting gastrointestinal motility. There is a huge size difference between cats and humans. Drinking so much yogurt will have no effect on humans, but cats will react if they drink too much.
2. Pay attention to the sugar content
If you often feed yogurt to your cat, it is best to buy a yogurt machine and make homemade yogurt. Because the yogurt sold in supermarkets outside will add a lot of sugar and flavorings to ensure the taste. Although it tastes very good, the taste is still too "heavy" for cats. Cats are small, and the sugar they consume in yogurt is too much for them, and it may have an impact on their bodies in the long run. Homemade yogurt is also very nutritious, and it has no additives or sugar, making it greener and healthier.
3. Observe whether cats benefit from it
Not all cats like to drink yogurt, and not all cats can drink yogurt. When giving yogurt to cats, you can feed a small amount and observe the cat’s preferences. I have a total of five cats in my house, of which only two like to drink yogurt, and the other three cannot smell it. It is not necessary to give yogurt to cats. If the cat does not like to drink it, there is no need to force it. If the cat does like to drink it, do not overfeed it. Just master this standard.
