Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 2010Lactose intolerance
I'm pretty sure my cat is lactose intolerant. Is this something I'd find as a cat food (dry or canned) ingredient? If so, how would it be described in the ingredient list - milk? Anything else have lactose? Yogurt (I've seen yogert flavored cat food, I think)?

Yogurt (I've seen > yogert flavored cat food, I think)? I would think it would have to be listed. I doubt it would be in cat food since so many cats are intolerant to it. >> I'm pretty sure my cat is lactose intolerant.

If they put animal digest in cat food they may be dumb enough to try just about anything. >> I would think it would have to be listed.

You have a point there. :-( SignatureThe national consensus is that sterilization is the best defense against all sources of companion animal overpopulation (and against euthanasia of said animals). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ =^..^= ~~~ >> I'm pretty sure my cat is lactose intolerant.

There are lactose intolerant people too.....They can sometimes find milk substitutes or types of milk (acidophilus, and other types) that they can drink....Perhaps a cat could also benefit from some of these. I only have two cats who like milk, and they are not allergic to it, but if they were, I think I would try some of these other types of milk...... >> I would think it would have to be listed.

One of mine is intolerant so I give them fat-free cottage cheese a few times a week. They love it. :) Signature"No other disease or condition of companion animals takes as many lives as euthanasia.

I've never seen milk in cat food ingredients... that's a good question. I hope they don't add it to cat food though. -------------------------------------------------------------- Lauren: http://mysmelly.com/user/hzh/profile.htm -------------------------------------------------------------- Just buy Lactaid. It's milk designed for lactose intolerant humans. It should be fine for cats. ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') |
