Not dangerous for dogs and cats, but should be used with caution
Matsun for Dogs (Matsoni)
Matsun (or matsoni) is safe for most dogs and can be a beneficial addition to their diet. It contains probiotics that help maintain digestive health, as well as calcium and protein. Matsun can improve intestinal health and support the normalization of gut flora.
However, not all dogs tolerate dairy products well, and some may develop lactose intolerance, leading to stomach upset, gas, or diarrhea. If your dog has never tried matsun before, start by offering a small portion to ensure there are no adverse effects. It’s best to use natural matsun without any additives, sugar, or flavorings.
Matsun for Cats (Matsoni)
Matsun can also be beneficial for cats, as it contains probiotics, calcium, and protein. However, cats are generally less tolerant of dairy products than dogs, and many adult cats are lactose intolerant. This can lead to digestive issues such as diarrhea and bloating.
If you want to offer matsun to your cat, start with a very small portion and monitor its reaction. If the cat tolerates matsun well, it can be given occasionally as a rare treat. It’s best to use natural matsun without sugar or other additives to avoid potential health problems.
Matsun can be useful, but it should only be given in small quantities, and the pet’s reaction should be monitored to avoid harming its health.
