10 of the Best All-Natural Cat Treats

Despite your best intentions to feed Kitty the best, not all cat treats are created equally. While some are made of quality, all-natural ingredients, others, unfortunately, aren't so healthy. "Natural pet products are all about the use of natural, simple ingredients, which means no artificial additives, colors, preservatives or fillers like corn and soy," explains Danielle Bernal, global veterinarian with Wellness Natural Pet Food. "Feeding cats natural treats allows them to receive the health benefits that come from natural ingredients for treating that pet parents can feel good about."

In a market filled with supposedly healthy cat treat options, sorting the stellar from the so-so can be tricky. Start by decoding the label on the packaging. "Look for treats that contain a short list of clean, simple ingredients that work together to create a balanced meal—which will most often mean ingredients that you recognize and incorporate into your own diet," Bernal says. "I also recommend seeking treats that are high in protein and will go a long way to give cats the energy they need to feel their best." All cats have different digestive and nutritional requirements, which includes maintaining weight and dental hygiene. You can also contact the pet food manufacturer or check with your veterinarian for a recommendation based on your cat's individualized needs.
