Pounce Cat Treats - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Do any of you let your dogs have these? If so, what are the after effects? I would imagine they are not the most healthy treat, but how bad? I try to give a variety of treats and, therefore, don't give too much of any one thing. Any help or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Dogs shouldnt have any cat food whatsoever because its very high in protien and can cause pancreatitis. I dont know about cat treats though

I always thought that cat food was way too fatty for dogs...I guess its the protien...I would imagine that cat treats would be made very similar to the food

My little Pilla loves those treats also...maybe more than the cats do!! I asked my vet about it, because I didn't think it would be too healthy either. He told me one or two is ok, but no more than that. Same with the cat food. Our poor fur babies.....so deprived!!

I asked my vet about this too. My cat gets treats and my poodle would beg for those too even though she has her own. Well, the vet said no cat food or treats because of the very high fat content.

I looked into cat treats because they are the perfect size for training treats, but I also found that most of them have a protein content of 30% compared to dog treats like Pup-peroni only having 19%. Cat treats also usually contain a lot of liver which isn't good in large amounts (liver is actually on the do not feed list). I just use the Pu-peroni and cut them into pieces - still not great ingredients, but the first ingredient is beef and no by-products. I also use baby food chicken weinnies cut up for training treats. Cereal is also a good treat.
