It will likely be absorbed to some degree depending on the formulation. You should assume that 100% will be absorbed when giving as a supplement to avoid overdosing. It's best to consult with your veterinarian before supplementing, because it may be unnecessary or harmful. I hope that helps and all is well with Coffee.
