El Aloe vera It is a plant that has become very fashionable in recent years due to its multiple benefits for humans: it not only moisturizes the skin, but also heals wounds, is purifying, eliminates fungi and viruses ... well, it is a very, very complete medicinal plant that you cannot miss at home.
But Can it be used on cats? Let's find out.
Aloe vera has been said to be very toxic to both people and animals, but reality is quite different from fiction 🙂. This is a very easy to care for, very grateful plant, from which everyone - whether they have two or four legs - can benefit. We have already cited some of the many uses it has with humans, but let's see now how a cat can take advantage of it.
Well, to our friends we must give Aloe vera juices that we can buy in any herbalist. If you have an injury of course we can apply a little gel, but for everything else, that is, if we want to help you recover from an illness or prevent good health, we will give you only juice suitable for human consumption that has about a 97% Aloe.
Effects of Aloe vera in cats
If we give you this juice regularly, we will be protecting your health in the following way:
- We will help you reduce pain.
- The weight will be regulated, since in addition it is very nutritive (contains more than 75 nutrients).
- The immune system will be strengthened, thus being ideal for cats with serious diseases such as cancer or leukemia.
- If you usually have digestive problems, thanks to Aloe vera juice you won't have to worry anymore thus.
How to administer Aloe vera
It is important to go little by little and increase the dose gradually: the first day we will put a few drops, the next day some more ... and so on until we manage to administer 1ml for each kg of weight of your cat. For example, if you weigh 4kg, we will give you 4ml. However, if you are very sick we will give you 2ml / kg.
The duration of the treatment will vary according to each cat and according to the problem he has, but in general weeks usually go by until you see improvement. Once we begin to notice that our friend is better, more animated, we will reduce the dose.

Hey.
I need to know if I can give aloe to a cat with a kidney problem.
He also does not want to eat and spends the day quietly in a corner.
Please, is urgent.
Thank you.
Hello isbael.
Pure aloe vera juice is therefore natural and does not harm health but improves it.
Now, if your cat is sick and does not want to eat, I recommend taking him to the vet, as a cat cannot go more than three days without eating.
Try cat cans (wet food) and homemade chicken broth (boneless) to see if he eats, but should be seen by a professional.
Cheer up.
