To find a healthy cat treat, look for something low in calories and high in protein (unless your cat has kidney disease),” Woodnutt advises. “This often means cubes of dried or freeze-dried meats are a good option. However, all treats can be unhealthy in excess. It’s essential to remember that more than 50% of cats in the US and UK are obese, and eating too many calories from treats plays a large part in that. You should ensure that no more than 10% of your cat’s daily calorie intake comes from treats, and their dinner is reduced accordingly.
