Like human’s cats are having weight issues. Obesity in cats is a growing problem and snacks with processed junk is a big reason why. Many popular brands use fillers and artificial ingredients that make them delicious, but aren’t very healthy choices. Instead there are a number of better choices that you can feed your cat when he or she deserves a little treat.
The good news is there are a number of healthy choices that can even improve your cat’s health. ROYAL CANIN offers a couple of snacks for cats designed to help with their digestive health. ROYAL CANIN® Veterinary Diet® Urinary Feline Treats are designed to help improve your cat’s urinary tract or other bladder issues. If your cat has a sensitive stomach we recommend using ROYAL CANIN® VETERINARY DIET® Gastrointestinal Feline Treats to help your kitty’s tummy. These snacks include special nutrients and are low fat, just one calorie per treat.
ROYAL CANIN offers its SATIETY® Feline Treats for those cats who need to drop a little weight. Each treat is less than one calorie and helps support overweight cat’s bones and joints from becoming too strained.
If your cat’s hairballs are out of control, try GREENIES® SMARTBITES® Feline Treats. GREENIES offers a number of flavor options, all designed to promote healthy digestion by minimizing hairballs. GREENIES uses all natural ingredients and are packed with vitamins and minerals that cats need to be healthy. They should not be given to younger cats under one year old.
Wonderbars are a great snack for both cats and dogs who are a little hesitant to take their medicine. Rather than wrapping a pill in something unhealthy for your pet, like processed meat, you can use Wonderbars to trick those pesky pets into taking medicine that they need. Wonderbars can be formed around the pill, making it the perfect hiding snack. It’s also a good option for portion control since it gives you control over how big or small to make each snack. They’re made without corn, wheat, gluten or soy so they are also a good choice for cats with digestive issues. They also have zero sodium and are one of the best snacks for cat’s with allergies.
Keep in mind that treats, healthy or not, should only make up about 10% of your cat’s overall diet. Always ask us before giving your cat a treat that it might not need. For more tips to keep your cat healthy and happy like us on Facebook!
