Lickable cat treats: how to serve them and how many to give
Advice · · Natural Code
You serve the 4× 14 g creamy sticks from your hand — a treat that keeps you in touch with your cat. There are four sticks in a pack, so you only ever open one portion and the rest stays sealed.
How to serve the sticks
Open a stick and your cat licks the cream straight from it. You can also squeeze it into the bowl, for example as a topping on kibble.
How many to give
One stick weighs 14 g. The daily amount according to the label:
| Cat | Weight | Daily amount |
|---|---|---|
| Kitten 6–12 months | 1–3 kg | 2–5 sticks (28–70 g) |
| Adult cat over 12 months | 3–5 kg | 2–3.5 sticks (28–49 g) |
| Adult cat over 12 months | 5–7 kg | 3.5–5 sticks (49–70 g) |
Creamy sticks are not suitable for kittens under 6 months. They are complementary food, so serve them alongside a complete diet. Always leave your cat plenty of fresh water, and store the sticks in a cool, dry place.
What’s in a stick
Cooking water makes up almost 60% of the recipe, and the moisture of a stick is around 84%. With it come meat or fish, 29 to 33%, and tapioca starch, 6%.
All seven flavours also contain hydrolysed poultry protein, tuna extract and fructo-oligosaccharides. So you’ll find poultry protein even in Creamy Tuna, and tuna extract in Creamy Chicken.
The nutritional additives are the same in all of them: vitamin E 100 mg/kg, taurine 1,000 mg/kg and L-lysine 100 mg/kg.
