Cooking tips for pets and humans:
Avoid harmful ingredients: Avoid avocado and anything containing caffeine or alcohol as these can be harmful to your cats. Onions, garlic, chocolate, grapes and raisins as well as certain nuts can be deadly.
Seasoning: Keep dishes bland for pets. Cats can be very sensitive to salt and spices, which can cause gastrointestinal upset. It’s best to remove a portion for your dog before adding any seasonings for your own servings.
Consult your vet: New foods should always be checked with a veterinary doctor before being fed to cats. This is important because it ensures safety and proper measurements, especially considering that different animals have varying nutritional needs based on health condition, age and size.
