Toxicity Level30%

While milk isn't toxic to cats, it's not something they should eat regularly or in large amounts. Most adult pets are lactose intolerant — their lactase enzyme production drops after weaning. That said, milk should be limited due to its nutrient profile. Proper preparation matters: choose low-fat plain varieties, check for additives, serve at room temperature. Building a trusting relationship with your veterinarian ensures the best nutrition plan for your pet.
