Can my cat eat my vitamin C tablet? Is human vitamin C safe for cats?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female

Hi. Hope you have a good day. I have a 6months cat. I usually use a water soluble tablet of vitamin C everyday. My cat always wants a portion. My question is: is it harmful for the cat or not? Thank you for your kind answer

Vitamin C itself is fine for a cat to have. The only concern is if the tablet has any artificial sugars, or odd chemicals in it. If it is just Vitamin C, then it is perfectly OK for her to have some.
