Can Cats EatSorbitol?

Caution

Risks

  • Sorbitol is a plant-based sugar alcohol used as a sweetener in many products.
  • Due to its laxative capabilities, loose stools or diarrhea can occur if consumed in large doses.

Suggestions

  • While small amounts of sorbitol in products like pet toothpaste are unlikely to be an issue, it's best to avoid giving your cat foods or medications containing sorbitol to prevent potential digestive problems.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
