The ale vera plant should not be eaten by cats
The aloe vera gel - taken professionally - can be used both externally and internally in cats without hesitation. The commercially available products are also harmless.
Only aloin-free gel for your cat
The gel of the room aloe also contributes to wound healing in cats. As a feed additive, it strengthens the immune system. In order to avoid irritation in the digestive tract in your animal, the following should be observed when harvesting:
- after cutting, stand up the sheet vertically,
- drain the bitter juice completely
- always use the gel fresh.
