Our journey begins with the baseline of cat nutrition: protein. Your kitty requires high-quality protein to function optimally. When making treats, you can lean towards lean meats like chicken, turkey, and rabbit.

One of the key components to creating a healthy cat treat is integration of organ meats. Organ meats are nutrient-dense and contain a variety of essential minerals like iron, copper, and magnesium. Furthermore, they're rich in vitamin A, which promotes healthy skin, coat, and vision in cats—everything vital for a prowling feline.

Remember to thoroughly cook any meats you offer your cat. Raw meats can carry bacteria and parasites. Safety first!
