FAQ:
- Q: Can I use fresh tuna instead of canned?
- A: Yes, but make sure to cook it first and remove any bones.
- Q: Can I substitute the flour with something else?
- A: You can try using coconut flour or almond flour for a healthier option, but adjust the amount accordingly.
- Q: How many treats can I give my cat?
- A: Treats should only make up 10% of your cat’s daily calorie intake, so adjust accordingly based on your cat’s weight and activity level.
Tips:
If your cat is allergic to tuna, you can substitute it with canned chicken or salmon. You can also add a tablespoon of catnip or dried parsley for added flavor and health benefits. Store the treats in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Remember to always consult with your veterinarian before making any dietary changes to your cat’s diet. Enjoy making these delicious treats for your furry friend!
