Can cats or dogs eat almond milk?
Cats: Use caution · Dogs: Use caution — The ASPCA addresses almond milk directly among milk substitutes: moderation only. Nuts like almonds are high in oil and fat, so too much causes vomiting and diarrhea — and in some pets, pancreatitis. With sweetened formulas, check the label for xylitol, which is toxic to dogs. Small sips once in a while, unflavored formulas only. If anything seems off, talk to your vet.
