Can I give Nettle Powder to my cat?Updated 4 hours ago
Yes — Nettle Powder can also be given to cats, but in much smaller amounts than dogs. It offers similar benefits, particularly for allergy support, itchy skin, and overall vitality.
Serving guide for cats (3–5kg):
- ⅙ – ¼ scoop daily (that’s about 0.06–0.09g of powder).
- Always start with the lower end of the serving range and increase gradually if well tolerated.
Benefits for cats:
- Helps with seasonal allergies by acting as a natural antihistamine.
- Can support skin comfort and coat condition.
- Provides trace minerals and gentle nutritional support.
Best practice:
- Mix into wet food for easier feeding — cats often dislike powders on dry food.
- Introduce very gradually; cats are more sensitive to taste changes than dogs.
- Do not exceed the serving guide — cats’ smaller size makes dosing accuracy important.
- If your cat is on long-term medication (especially diuretics or blood thinners), check with your vet first.
