Cat Treats FAQs
What are the best treats to give a cat?
High-protein options with real meat are a popular choice. However, for specific needs, dental chews help clean teeth, while wet or lickable treats are great for hydration. The key is picking a texture and flavor that fits the cat's health goals and life stage.
Do vets recommend treats for cats?
Most vets approve of treats for training and bonding. However, they emphasize the 10% rule, meaning snacks should not exceed a tenth of the cat's daily calorie intake to avoid weight issues and keep the diet balanced.
Can kittens eat dry treats?
Kittens can typically start eating dry treats once they are fully transitioned to solid food. Using a high quality kitten dry food as a reward is a great strategy to ensure they get the extra nutrients and calories needed for growth. It is best to stick to small, crunchy pieces that are easy for their smaller teeth to handle.
What are the best treats for adult cats?
For adult cats, the best treats are typically high-protein snacks or dental chews that help with tartar buildup. Using pieces of their favorite adult cat food as a low-calorie reward is also an effective way to keep them motivated without overfeeding. Variety is key to keeping them engaged, so mixing in different textures often helps.
