Can I give my cat cow's milk?

It is not a good idea to give your cat cow's milk. They can't digest it properly and it can upset their stomach.

It would not be wise to give your cat cow's milk. Cats can be lactose intolerant just like humans, causing diarrhea and/or stomach issues. But most important, cow's milk is missing many essential vitamns and minerals that cats need.

You can give you cat cow's milk, but it is not recommended to do so. Most cats are lactose intolerant so giving them cow's milk may give them an upset stomach and diarrhea. If you are looking to give your cats a treat, then some pet stores sell lactose free cat milk may be good.

A cat's body is not designed to digest cow's milk. While some cats may not show any problems from it, others can end up very ill from it. It is best to avoid it completely as it is not needed. If you'd like to give your cat a milk type treat there are specially designed cat milks.
