Remolacha Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 OK, I posted this in OT and didn't get any responses, so I'll repost it here where more people might see it. Refering to cats, hope that's ok Does anyone know if it has the same appetite enhancing qualities for cats? Or if there is any reason cats shouldn't eat it? (assuming the picky little *%&%#* will) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refering to cats, hope that's ok Does anyone know if it has the same appetite enhancing qualities for cats? Or if there is any reason cats shouldn't eat it? (assuming the picky little *%&%#* will) Some time ago I got nutritional yeast for the dogs. My cat Zola was interested in the smell, so I sprinkled a bit on her food too. She loved it. I was giving it to them on one meal per day. It's been some time ago so I don't remember exactly, but after a week or two I noticed that Zola started scratching herself. Nothing in the environment had changed. After a day or so of her scratching, I realized that she might be having some kind of allergic reaction to the yeast. I stopped giving it to her, and she stopped scratching. I'm not saying that this would happen to every cat, just sharing what happened with us.

Remolacha Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks! I would not want to use it permanently, just to get her eating well again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FastDogsOwnMe Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I've never given it to cats but... My dogs LOVE it! I also used it as a sub for cheese when I was Vegan. It has a distinct cheesy taste to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remolacha Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I had been using "shakey cheese" (Parmesan) and it worked, but she kind of went off it, so maybe she would like the yeast. She is getting better, but I may get some n. yeast this weekend and see if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remolacha Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 I have not tried tripe, don't think think she would like it, but the next time the dogs have it, I will offer some and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
