Thanks for reaching out with your question! It's important to be cautious when considering giving your cat any kind of medication or supplement meant for humans. Cats have very different metabolisms from us, and substances that are safe for you might not be safe for them.
Some common human medications—like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or certain cold medications—can be extremely harmful to cats, even in small doses. If you're considering giving your cat something specifically for their health, it’s always best to consult with a veterinarian first.
If your cat is experiencing any health issues, try observing their behavior closely. Look out for signs such as vomiting, diarrhea, changes in appetite, lethargy, or unusual breathing. These could indicate a problem that needs veterinary attention.
For mild issues, like hairballs or minor digestive upset, you might try ensuring they're hydrated and providing a good-quality diet that includes fiber. However, if your cat is showing signs of distress or if you're unsure about their health, it's safest to get professional advice.
I’d recommend booking a video consult with one of our vets through Dial A Vet to discuss your concerns in more detail. This way, we can ensure your cat gets the best care tailored to their needs.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
