Background: Mammals in the wild typically have no or little access to breast milk after weaning. The activity of lactase in consequence declines over time. Humans often continue to consume milk, typically cow’s milk with a high lactose load that keeps lactase activity high. However, 15-20% of the world population is lactose intolerant, due to low or no lactase production. Undigested lactose subsequently leads to various digestive problems. Eliminating milk products from the diet is the therapy of choice.

Milk is a source of high quality protein, but dogs and cats after weaning, like other mammals, have a low lactase activity. Therefore, other protein sources should be used to satisfy demands. Lactose-free cat milk is a good alternative for cat owners wanting to offer milk to their cats.
