Cat Milk

Milk for cats is best enjoyed as an occasional treat, but some formulas may also complement your cat’s overall diet. There are options tailored to different life stages and tastes, with flavours like chicken, tuna, salmon, or classic milk. Whether your cat prefers something simple or more savoury, there’s likely a formula that fits their routine. Here’s a quick overview of what to consider:

Tip: zooplus offers a wide range of supplements for cats selected by some owners for dental health, skin and coat care, and digestion. Always consult your vet before introducing supplementation into your pet’s diet.

Cats do not require milk as part of their core nutrition. However, specially formulated milk for cats can be a well-tolerated addition to their diet and may be used in certain situations, such as:

• Orphaned kittens: During the first 8-9 weeks of their life, kittens require either mother’s milk or specially formulated kitten milk.
• Encouraging hydration: For cats that drink very little, some owners add a small amount of cat milk to water as an incentive.

Tip: Cat milk for cats can be offered in moderation, just remember to factor it into your cat’s daily calorie intake. There are many types of milk cat food for every taste, but for a special treat, check out this cat-friendly ice-cream recipe made with lactose-free milk for cats.

Offer cat milk only as an occasional treat, and don’t forget to factor it into daily calorie allowance, as it can be high in calories. If in doubt, consult your vet for tailored advice.

Unopened cat milk can be stored in a cool, dry place and used before the expiry date. Once opened, it should be refrigerated. Mixed formula should also be refrigerated and used within 24 hours. Always check the manufacturer’s instructions on the packaging for specific storage and usage guidelines

That’s absolutely fine. Cats don't need milk, and many are lactose intolerant. Just ensure fresh water is always available. Some owners add a small amount of cat milk to water to encourage drinking. Cat drinking fountains may also encourage regular hydration.
