As long as there are no ingredients that cats find toxic in it, they can eat baby puffs – but not as a permanent meal! If the baby puffs product you’ve chosen has no garlic, onions, or dairy, you can probably use it as a cat treat every now and then.
Baby puffs are great because they dissolve in your mouth and are in no way a choking hazard for cats (unlike other human food that could prove problematic). You have to remember that, even though cats will love baby puffs, you need to keep cat food as their main source of nourishment.
This is a great way to substitute cat food momentarily if your cat is feeling down, is having a hard time eating solid food, or similar. It’s a great treat as well!
Remember to check the ingredient list before you let your cat have a taste, though. Check with the vet if you have any doubts.
How can you get your cat to eat baby puffs?
If you want to give your cat baby puffs, you can put it on its plate and wait for your cat to eat. Putting a few baby puffs on your hand and letting your cat eat it is also a great way to establish trust with your cat.
You probably won’t have to make too much of an effort to get your cat to eat baby puffs – most cats find them delicious!
If you’re training your cat to eat somewhere specific, make sure you always leave baby puffs there and nowhere else. Otherwise, you’ll end up reinforcing bad habits.
Small, tasty treats like this one are great to educate (or re-educate) your cat.
How many baby puffs can a cat eat?
Try to keep baby puffs to a minimum when feeding a cat. As you probably know, the number one source of nutrition should always be cat food. Use baby puffs as you would any other treat, give one or two to your cat every now and then.
Use them when necessary or during a special occasion. For example, if your cat is feeling down, try to use a baby puff to cheer it up; if your cat obeyed a new command, that’s a great reason to give it one as well!
What’s the best baby puffs for cats?
There are a lot of brands of baby puffs out there and you can also make your own, so it’s hard to say which one is the best. To pick the right one, avoid baby puffs with too much sugar, too many vegetables, and little meat.
Simply put, look for meat-based baby puffs. Avoid vegetable ones (even though they are the most prevalent). If you can’t find a brand that has meat-based baby puffs, try to make your own – it’s not that hard!
If you’re buying baby puffs, check and double-check the ingredient lists. Make sure it has no onions, garlic, or green vegetables. If possible, no sugar and no salt.
