Is cheese good or bad for cats?
Cats are obligate carnivores: they must get certain nutrients (taurine, arachidonic acid, preformed vitamin A) from animal tissue, so a complete, balanced cat food should always be the base of the diet. The food on this page sits in the "limits apply" zone — fine in small amounts for most cats, but easy to overdo. Treats and extras of any kind are best kept under roughly 10% of daily calories, and this one specifically needs the rules below followed.
NOTE: Always check with your veterinarian first before giving your dog any new foods, especially “people foods.” What might be OK for one dog might not be good for your dog, depending on multiple factors, such as their age, health history, health conditions, and diet. Dogs on prescription diets should not be fed any food or treats outside the diet.
