Can cats eat yogurt? 🐱
The answer is yes — some types of yogurts are safe for cats. But that doesn't mean it should become a regular part of their diets 😼🍴
For humans, yogurt is a strong source of friendly bacteria, or probiotics. However, our pets typically don't need those same bacteria unless dealing with GI problems 🧬
What types of yogurt are safe for cats?
If your cat doesn't have any sensitivities to dairy, most plain, unsweetened yogurts are safe for cats. Before giving your cat a nibble, however, you'll want to make sure there are no extra ingredients that could cause your kitty harm:
✔️ Xylitol
✔️ Grapes or raisins
✔️ Chocolate
✔️ Nuts
✔️ Citrus fruits (lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, etc.)
✔️ Coconut
How much yogurt can cats have?
Given your cat doesn't react poorly to dairy, no more than one tablespoon of yogurt is a safe treat to share 🥄
As a general rule, treats shouldn't account for more than 10 percent of your cat's daily caloric intake 👌
