Can cats drink milk

It’s no secret that cats love the creamy taste and texture of milk. But there’s a lot of talk swirling about whether milk is a good choice for cats. Can cats have milk? How much is the right amount? The experts behind Fancy Feast Creamy Delights are here to answer your questions. 

Can Cats Have Milk?

The answer is different for every cat. Some cats cannot efficiently digest the sugar naturally found in milk. For this reason, it’s best to feed only a small quantity of milk to cats. Fancy Feast Creamy Delights feature just a touch of real milk – enough to create a creamy, dreamy taste with careful attention to sensitive systems.

How Much is ‘Just a Touch’ of Milk in Creamy Delights?  

‘Just a touch’ means only enough milk to create that creamy, dreamy taste cats crave – all while keeping it easily digestible for cats. Each Fancy Feast Creamy Delights entrée contains just approximately 3% milk. The culinary experts at Fancy Feast, with assistance from veterinarians and pet nutritionists, discovered that this small amount of milk can add to the creaminess of a dish while still being easily digestible for cats.

What Kind of Milk Goes Into Fancy Feast Creamy Delights?

Real cow’s milk is carefully selected and prepared to ensure that just a touch is added to every entrée. Fancy Feast acquires milk from approved sources to ensure quality.

Is Milk Good for Cats? Can I Add Milk to My Cat’s Food?

While just a touch of milk can add to the creaminess of your cat’s food, the milk in Fancy Feast Creamy Delights does not add any significant nutritional value. Our experts do not recommend adding your own milk to your cat’s meals. The milk in each Fancy Feast Creamy Delights recipe has been carefully measured and prepared for cats to enjoy.

Can My Cat Eat Fancy Feast Creamy Delights at Every Meal?

Yes. Fancy Feast Creamy Delights offers 100% complete and balanced nutrition for adult cats and can be served at every meal.

How Long Will These Entrées Remain Fresh on a Plate?

Fancy Feast Creamy Delights recipes have the same shelf life as other Fancy Feast wet cat food entrées. As with any wet cat food, refrigeration is recommended after opening if the food is not served in one meal.
