Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How many cat treats should I give daily?
Ans: It's easy to get carried away when your cat keeps asking for more! Still, try to keep treats to around 10% of their daily food intake. The amount will vary depending on your cat's size, age, and activity. Check the pack for feeding instructions and cut back a little on regular food if needed.
Q2: Are freeze-dried treats good for cats?
Ans: Yes, especially for cats who enjoy meat. Freeze-dried treats often contain simple ingredients like chicken, duck, or shrimp. If they're raw, wash your hands and your cat's bowl after feeding.
Q3: Can treats cause weight gain in cats?
Ans: Yes, too many treats can add extra calories to your cat's diet. Keep portions small and count treats as part of their daily food intake. If your cat is gaining weight, ask your vet about adjusting their meals.
Q4: What are the best treats for cats with sensitive stomachs?
Ans: If your cat has a tummy that doesn't agree with everything, don't experiment with too many ingredients at once. Try a simple treat made with one protein, such as duck. Offer just a small piece first and see how your cat does. If the upset stomach keeps coming back, it's best to check with your vet.
Q5: Are dental treats effective for cats?
Ans: Dental treats with the VOHC Seal of Acceptance have met set standards for reducing tartar or plaque. They are a useful addition to a cat's dental care, but they work best alongside brushing when your cat allows it and regular veterinary dental checkups. Check the label for the VOHC seal before choosing one.
Q6: What are the best cat training treats?
Ans: Some cats will do just about anything for a tasty little bite! Try giving your cat something they already love, such as Churu cat treats or small, soft meat bites. Keep the pieces tiny so your cat doesn't fill up before the training session is over.
Q7: Are there treats for cats with allergies?
Ans: Finding a treat your cat can enjoy without an upset or itchy reaction may take a little trial and error. Start by checking treats with short ingredient lists and proteins like duck or rabbit, especially if your cat hasn't eaten them before. Read the label carefully, though, and speak with your vet if you suspect a food allergy.
Q8: Are cat crunchy treats better than soft treats?
Ans: It really comes down to what your cat enjoys and can comfortably eat. Cat crunchy treats offer a different texture, while soft treats may be easier for kittens and older cats to chew. Some cats enjoy both, so you can try each and see which one they prefer.
Q9: Are crunchy treats for cats good for their teeth?
Ans: Not all crunchy treats help with dental care. Some crunchy treats for cats carry the VOHC Seal of Acceptance, which means they have been evaluated for reducing plaque or tartar. Regular crunchy snacks don't offer the same benefit, so keep brushing and routine dental checkups part of your cat's care.
Q10: Are hard cat treats safe for kittens and senior cats?
Ans: Hard cat treats can be tough on kittens' developing teeth and on senior cats with sore gums or missing teeth. Softer, smaller options are usually a better fit for these cats. If you do offer a harder treat, supervise your cat, and stop if they struggle or show signs of mouth pain.
