Did you know that cats cannot tolerate ingesting alcohol and can easily be poisoned by it? The rate at which a cat will be poisoned by ethanol, a primary ingredient in alcohol, will depend on the weight of the cat. Smaller cats, obese cats, and cats that ingest alcohol on an empty stomach may suffer the effects of alcohol poisoning more quickly.
The amount of ethanol in an alcoholic beverage varies depending on the beverage. Beer may contain around 5–7% ethanol, wine around 9%, and whiskey, vodka, and other strong alcoholic drinks can contain significantly higher concentrations. The type of alcoholic drink a cat consumes can influence how quickly signs of alcohol poisoning develop.
Symptoms of alcohol poisoning may become apparent within about 30 minutes after a cat has ingested alcohol. Cats may appear confused, unusually excited, uncoordinated, or may begin to stagger. If your cat exhibits these symptoms and you suspect they have ingested alcohol, contact a veterinarian or emergency veterinary service immediately.

Wapiti Labs tinctures are made with glycerin rather than alcohol. We love pets at Wapiti Labs and do everything we can to ensure that our products are designed with pet safety and wellness in mind.
Traditional tinctures may be made using an alcohol extraction process, which can help extract certain compounds from herbs and facilitate their absorption. However, because cats should not consume alcohol, Wapiti Labs chose glycerin for its tincture extraction process.
Although glycerin extraction may take a little more time for the herbal ingredients to be assimilated into a cat’s system, it provides an alcohol-free alternative for pet supplements.

Cats should never be intentionally given alcoholic beverages or products containing alcohol. Because cats are small animals and can be sensitive to substances that are harmless or less harmful to humans, it is important to keep alcoholic drinks safely away from them.
