Hydrogen Peroxide and Cats Safety

On the safety of hydrogen peroxide for cats
There are cat owners in the world who often doubt whether hydrogen peroxide can be used in cats. Hydrogen peroxide, a chemical substance, is also common in daily cleaning and disinfection. However, the physiology of cats is different from that of humans, so it should be used with caution.

The body, stomach and breathing of cats are all related to the exposure of hydrogen peroxide. If cats are exposed to high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide, their fur may be damaged, skin may be inflamed and swollen. If they drink it by mistake, the stomach will suffer from it, vomiting and abdominal pain may occur. What's more, due to the injury of the intestinal and gastrointestinal mucosa, the risk of internal bleeding.

Furthermore, hydrogen peroxide enters the cat's mouth, decomposes and produces oxygen, or causes flatulence. If this gas accumulates in the stomach and intestines, the cat will be uncomfortable and affect digestion. And if it enters the body through breathing, the airway may be irritated, and the appearance of coughing and wheezing may arise, which is unfavorable to the cat's respiratory health.

In a cat home, if you want to use a disinfectant, choose the one that can be applied to the cat. If you must use something containing hydrogen peroxide, first dilute it with water, and the cat should avoid it when using it. After use, wash it with purified water to eliminate the residue and avoid the cat's touch.

In short, hydrogen peroxide is questionable to the safety of cats. Cat owners should be cautious, take the health of the cat as the key, and choose a safe and suitable product to protect the cat, so as to keep the cat worry-free.
