About Black Pepper
Black pepper is typically used as a flavoring and mild antioxidant in pet foods and provides negligible macronutrients, though it contains piperine which can influence flavor and the absorption of certain nutrients or drugs. Because piperine and volatile oils can irritate the gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts—especially in cats and other sensitive animals—black pepper should only be present in very small amounts and avoided in pets with GI issues or those on medications without veterinary guidance.
