What seemingly nutritious cat snacks are actually hurting cats?

There are many kinds of snacks for cats, but they can be roughly divided into: grinding teeth, cheating on water, snacks that can help cats spit out hairballs, and some snacks such as ham and sausage.

Among them, the most confusing snacks are water-cheating snacks and hairy ball snacks, which need to be carefully selected. Of course, ham sausage is not worth starting with.

1, Cat Grass Biscuit Cat Grass Biscuit is mainly the cost of cat grass, and Cat Mint Biscuit is very popular because it is rich in dietary fiber and can help cats vomit hair balls. But in fact, the main ingredient of most cat grass biscuits is wheat flour, not starch, which is not easy for cats to digest.

Therefore, when choosing cat grass biscuits, you must look at the list of raw materials. If it is mainly wheat flour and belongs to starch biscuits, it is not recommended to start. I have friends with cats who make their own cat grass cookies at home. They only add cat grass powder, chicken breast and goat cheese, which is safe and nutritious. In this case, they can be used to feed cats.

2, ham sausage I really don't recommend feeding cats and dogs. Because although there are pet sausages, the ingredients in them are hard to say, and the quality is good or bad.

I bought a bag of pet sausages before. I tore open the packaging bag. The sausages are scattered, and the adhesive-backed packaging bag is still broken. Looking at the list of raw materials, vegetable protein and starch were added. This ham sausage is really not worth starting with.

In fact, if you want your kitten to eat more meat or supplement nutrition for the cat, you can choose a staple food jar, cook chicken breast for the cat at home, and let the cat drink more water, which is much more cost-effective than buying ham sausage.

3. Small Fish Dried A cat's life without small fish is incomplete. Many kittens especially like eat small fish Dried, and it is really a bite. I have done dried fish before, and I happened to meet several kittens when I picked up the express delivery, so I directly dismantled a cat. Most of them are dried fish eggs. They look really good. Some cats really like them.

But in fact, dried fish is likely to have health problems and excessive heavy metals, and may also have excessive salt. Cats need to eat a little salt, but dried fish with too much salt is really not suitable.

Therefore, if you must feed the cat with dried fish, you'd better choose one that has been evaluated or has a test report. Dried fish itself is strips, not long crooked melons.

4, the cat strip depends on the list of raw materials, it is best to use 0 starch 0 colloid 0 attractant, and the meat is delicate, the taste is sweet, and there is no flavor. The raw material is mainly meat, and some ingredients beneficial to cats such as dietary fiber and prebiotics can be added.

I also started to make a lot of cat strips, some of which are not bad in meat quality, others are watery, otherwise it will be smoother with chewing gum. Although the palatability of cat strips is very good, inferior cat strips are not very nutritious for cats, but will make cats picky about food. In particular, some cat strips also add starch that is difficult for cats to digest, which is not worth starting.

Therefore, you must look at the list of raw materials when choosing cat strips, otherwise it is ok to choose the staple food cat strips directly.

To sum up, when cats choose snacks, it is best to give priority to meat snacks, not to choose snacks containing starch, and not to eat more snacks. You can give your cat some snacks that grind your teeth properly, and usually cook some boiled chicken breast for your cat at home.
