There is nothing like the feeling of being greeted at your front door after a long day by a wagging tail that’s been waiting for you to come home all day. Or maybe your soft spot is for purring kitties that rub against your leg when you walk in the door. And if you are lucky, like very lucky, maybe you get greeted by both.
Cats and dogs don’t have the same nutritional needs, meaning that not all treats are created equal. Dog treats aren’t made with cats in mind, and cat treats aren’t made with dogs in mind. Cats have different nutritional requirements than dogs, and vice versa.
Though treats are not meant to be fed as meals, dog treats lack nutrients that cats need to be healthy. And feeding too many can decrease your cat’s appetite for his own food, which could cause him to develop a nutrient deficiency and potential organ disruption. Feeding species-specific food and treats is vital to making sure that your animal is getting all the nutrients that he needs. Luckily, there are specific treats that can (and should) be fed to both dogs and cats!
Though there are differences between cat and dog diets, there are also many similarities. By finding treats that are high in both protein and flavor, and specially made for both cats and dogs to enjoy, you can be sure that your pet is not only loving his flavor-packed treat, but that it’s helping him, too!
