What research exists regarding melamine in cats and dogs?
Research is scarce in the published literature on melamine exposure in dogs and cats. We know of a 1945 published article in which dogs were administered 125 milligrams of melamine/kilogram body weight. The study reported melamine to have a diuretic effect (increase the flow of urine), but no toxic effects were noted. We are not aware of any studies in the published literature involving the administration of melamine to cats.
