Coconut Milk: Safe for Dogs and Cats?

Coconut milk is not recommended for dogs because its fat and calories can cause digestive upset, while packaged drinks may add sugar, flavoring, gums, or xylitol. It should not replace water.

Coconut milk is non-toxic to cats but should not be offered as a drink. Its fat, sugar, and additives can upset digestion and it does not provide the animal-based nutrition cats require.
