5 Pumpkin-Flavored Cat Treats To Celebrate Paw-Tumn
Pumpkin spice up your cat's life by spoiling them with some seasonal treats. While pumpkin might not be the first ingredient you think of when shopping for delicious and nutritious cat treats, its fiber-rich content makes it an excellent choice for felines that struggle with mild constipation, diarrhea, or hairballs. This superfood is also loaded with vitamins and minerals to support your cat's immune system, eyesight, bones, and teeth.
Add a little spice to your cat's evening routine by purchasing some pumpkin-infused treats. Here we've rounded up five healthy options to reward your cat with when they've been a gourd boy or girl.
1. Tiki Cat® Crunchers Cat Treats Grain Free, High Protein
Chicken is the first ingredient in these crunchy cat treats made with dried pumpkin. Each treat has less than three calories, so you don't have to worry about overindulging your feline. Added salmon oil and flaxseed contribute to healthy skin and a shiny coat, while the pumpkin aids digestion. If your cat is sensitive to pea flour, a legume, you may want to skip these chicken and pumpkin-flavored snacks.
