Safe
Plain kefir is safe and probiotic-rich.
Contains beneficial probiotics for gut health. Choose plain, unsweetened varieties. Better tolerated than milk due to fermentation.
Caution
Kefir may be tolerated by some cats.
The fermentation process reduces lactose. Small amounts of plain, unsweetened kefir may provide probiotic benefits. Start with very small amounts and watch for digestive upset.
