Look for a clearly identified wheat, oat, barley, or rye grass product intended to be cat-safe. Avoid unidentified decorative plants or lawn grass exposed to chemicals.
What to look for
- The grass type is clearly named on the product.
- The ingredient list does not contain added flavourings or sweeteners.
- The serving size is small and treats remain a minor part of the daily diet.
How to introduce it
- Start with one small treat or piece.
- Stop if it appears to cause vomiting, diarrhea, or other digestive discomfort.
- Persistent hairballs or digestive signs need veterinary guidance.
