Most cat owners like to show they love their cats not only with affection but with treats. However, Dr. Kerri Blackburn of River’s Edge Animal Hospital says cat treats, much like human treats, can be loaded with calories and sodium to help with flavor and encourage palatability (especially dental treats). “This can be problematic when we are focused on weight loss or a cat has health concerns like renal or heart disease.”

Thankfully there are a number of healthy cat treat options so you can find the perfect one, even if your cat has allergies or dietary restrictions. By choosing a treat that your cat not only enjoys eating but also has healthy ingredients, you can avoid empty calories and even enhance their nutrition.
