? Snacks for Cocoa

Question for you all. Right now when Cocoa wants a snack I am either giving him boiled chicken or freeze dried turkey or chicken. Are these good options does he need something with some carbs? What are some good snack ideas for the diabetic cat?

 

I'm a newbie, but freeze dried chicken is what I've been giving. FWIW, I've read here and elsewhere that it is a great option. My girl absolutely loves it too--so total bonus!

 

My little guy loves it as well he also loves boiled chicken breast. I make the chicken on the weekend and put it in the fridge and give him some all week.

This is the freeze dried brand I use. https://www.amazon.com/PureBites-Ch...=1517282874&sr=8-8&keywords=cat snack chicken

 

Those are great options and no carb. I would bake the chicken instead of boiling it as some nutrients are lost by boiling I recently learned.

 

Same one I'm using!! So funny.
I'm not sure about your question about having a snack with carbs instead. I see some recommend having something high carb around in case of hypo, but haven't seen any recommendation to give on a regular basis. Maybe very rarely as an extra special one? But I would wait to hear from others

 

If some carbs are needed best to give a little of the regular lc food.

 

Awe very good point! I will try that this weekend I just hope he likes my cooking lol!

 

Same here from what I had read cats really should just eat meat and very little carbs. I have fancy feast gravy lovers for emergencies cross my fingers I never need it.

 

Most people use freeze dried chicken, etc. as a treat as well as something to crumble over food if your cat is being "particular."

 

What can I give him that crumbles?

 

The freeze dried chicken can be crushed and sprinkled over food.
