Healthy Cat Treats & More


How to find healthy cat treats? We've written about feline healthy foods and nutrition, however we have not yet covered treats. As a pet owner, we love to give our pets treats, but some of these treats can actually harm our pet's health.

While searching for your cat's healthy treats, you must take into consideration your cat's special health requirements, weight and age.

Healthy treats can be a good way to supplement your cat's diet, it provides additional nutrition and vitamins that cats may not get from their regular food. However, there are cat treats that has high levels of carbohydrates, grains and high fat, which tend to do poorly on a cat's diet.

Be sure to check the label for the list of ingredients, number of calories, and fat. Another good thing to look for is the Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) certification. The AAFCO publishes a set of guidelines for cat food and treats, and if the ingredient definition meet the regulation, the sign "Formulated to meet the AAFCO Cat Food Nutrient Profile for Kittens/Adults/Senior," will be printed on the label of the treat package.

Remember, in addition to have a flavor that will appeal to your cat, it is important that you find cat treats that are nutritionally balanced.

In our quest to find healthy treats for our cats, we've come across three brands that meet our standards of what constitutes a healthy treat for cats.

Treats are the best way to give your cat vitamins and supplements. Many healthy cat treats are formulated to promote health benefits, such as dental treats, hairball remedies, heartworm preventives, upper respiratory infections, arthritis, urinary track, constipation, healthy skin, and more. Note, these are more than just treats, so be sure to follow the manufacturer instructions about maximum amount of treats per day.
