Can I give acerola to cats?

ChatGPT

Acerola is one food that should generally not be given to cats. Acerola is known for its very high vitamin C content. Cats usually do not need additional vitamin C because they can synthesize it themselves. In fact, you should be careful as consuming too much vitamin C can have a negative effect on your cat’s health.

Cats’ diets are primarily based on protein, and as carnivorous animals, meat is their primary source of nutrition. Giving too much fruit like acerola or vitamin C supplements can lead to health problems such as indigestion and diarrhea.

Therefore, we do not recommend giving acerola to cats. When it comes to your cat’s diet, it’s best to feed them a balanced cat food or a diet recommended by your veterinarian. Healthy cats usually do not need additional vitamin supplements. If you have any doubts about your cat’s diet, consult your veterinarian.
