Is it safe if my 4-month-old kitten ate pepperoni from pizza?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed

My four month old kitten ate like 2 slices of pepperoni off a pizza... it wasn’t spicy and she seems to be fine. I’m just worried. She has no problem with her food or anything

There is no concern for toxicity here. Pepperoni may cause some upset stomach issues but other than that she should be fine. If you do see some upset stomach symptoms (vomiting, diarrhea), then you can try a probiotic (i.e. Culturelle over the counter) and a bland diet of lean ground beef and rice and pumpkin (not the pie filling) for a few days, then slowly transition her back to her normal diet.
I hope that your fur baby Tor turns out well with no upset stomach. Take care!
