Low Calorie Cat Treats
£4.74
Why choose low-calorie cat treats?
While cat treats are enjoyable for pets, they can quickly add up in calories, and many owners underestimate how much treats contribute to daily intake. A general guideline is to keep treats under 10% of total daily calories. Luckily, low-fat cat treats allow for more flexibility, particularly during training or regular rewarding.
Look for cat treat options that meet these criteria:
- Limited or single-source proteins: Fish is the most popular low-fat option for cats, followed closely by chicken.
- Additional benefits: Many low-calorie cat treats contain vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and moisture-rich ingredients.
- Lower calorie content: Some low-calorie snacks for cats contain as little as 1–2 kcal per piece, compared to up to 8 kcal in some standard treats.
Tip: Don’t forget to check out our cat specialist diets and supplements to find the best option for your cat’s particular needs, and consult your vet if you are unsure or need personalised support.
