CATDOLL : Can cats take vitamin C?

Can cats take vitamin C?

Cats can eat vitamin C, but they cannot eat human vitamin C. Because the amount of vitamin C required by cats is different from that of humans, the dosage cannot be controlled, and overfeeding will be harmful to the cat's body. If you want to supplement vitamin C for cats, it is recommended that owners go to regular pet stores to buy cat-specific vitamin tablets. In addition, vitamin C in cat diseases is mainly used to treat methemoglobinemia caused by acetaminophen poisoning.

Reasons why cats are not recommended to eat vitamin C:

1. Cats can synthesize some vitamin C independently, so vitamin C deficiency rarely occurs.

2. Vitamin C has a bad taste and is quite irritating to the oral mucosa of cats. Cats are more resistant to it when fed. Force-feeding may cause a loss of appetite.
