Fish snacks for cats
Variety of nutritious fish for cats
Cats love fish! With a tasty fish snack, you will quickly capture your cat's attention. Still, you have to be (a little) careful when 'feeding' fish to cats. For example, there may be an excess of iodine or thiaminase in raw fish that can cause health problems in your cat. Fortunately, there are plenty of fish and fish snacks for cats that you can safely give. Why do cats love to eat fish? And which fish, snacks or fish cat treats can you give your faithful pal with confidence? Find out more about it in this blog.
Raw fish for your cat?
A little bit of raw fish can usually do little harm, but you are still wise not to give your cat raw fish. After all, raw fish may contain pathogens, bacteria or parasites. Iodine, salmonella or thiaminase, for example. Raw fish is therefore best cooked first. Also, don't just give your cat canned fish with oils or additives.
Are cats allowed to eat salmon?
Cats can certainly feast on salmon, but it matters how the salmon is prepared. Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids that are good for your cat's coat and skin. The taste of salmon is also irresistible to many cats. Salmon snacks and treats especially for cats, or salmon wet food and kibble, you can always safely give to your cat. However, parasites or dangerous bacteria may be present in raw salmon. Therefore, cook raw salmon first before feeding it to your cat.
What type of fish for your cat?
Almost all fish species are high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids that are a valuable addition to a healthy diet for your cat. And those good nutrients are also present in fish sweets and cat snacks. When it comes to taste, cats can be a lot more critical. Our experience tells us that most cats prefer the taste of salmon, mackerel, trout, anchovy and shrimp. Based on this, let us share some fun suggestions for you and your cat.
