Aloe vera contains healing active ingredients, but also the slightly toxic aloin. The gel contained in aloe vera products is good for the skin and strengthens the immune system. However, it is not recommended for pets to consume the leaves.
Is aloe vera suitable for cats?
Aloe vera gel can be used externally in cats to heal wounds and internally as a food additive to strengthen the immune system. Be sure to only use aloin-free gel and allow the bitter juice to drain off when harvesting.
The aloe vera gel - taken professionally - can be used safely both externally and internally on cats. The products available in stores are also harmless.
Only aloin-free gel for your cat
The room aloe gel also contributes to wound healing in cats. As a feed additive, it strengthens the immune system. In order to avoid irritation of your animal's digestive tract, the following should be observed when harvesting:
- After cutting, place the sheet vertically,
- let the bitter juice drain completely,
- Always use the gel fresh.
Tip
A variety of aloe vera products for cats are available in stores. Pay attention to the actual content of the aloe vera, as this is sometimes very low and does not justify the high price.
