Hi and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! Temptations and Greenies are not very digestible which is why they can cause stomach upset. Commericial treats such as these can be highly processed, contain a variety of aritcial ingredients and flavors and contain high fat and low fiber content with fillers in them which can cause GI upset. A good alternative would be Smittens cat treats by Honest Kitchen which are all natural. I hope this helps!

Cats certainly do love treats, but I wouldn't say they can become addicted to them. They can prefer them over their normal food, and giving them too many isn't good for Jimmy's health. It can lead to him being overweight, which in turn can lead to joint problems, diabetes, and cardiac disease. You can simply stop offering them to Jimmy, you don't need to detox him from it. He shouldn't have treats more than once a week. I hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! So your Vet will prescribe the prescription food but not the treats? I would ask to speak to your Vet directly. Sadly anything that is prescription requires a valid Veterinary-Client-Patient-Relationship (VCPR). A VCPR requires a yearly exam which is what the law/veterinary boards require from the Vet. Any refill on prescriptions need yearly exams. With that being said you may be able to find the treats online as it is hard to enforce prescription diets, let alone treats. For what it is worth it is in the best interest of Oscar to have yearly exams and be up to date on his vaccines. I wish you the best!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Everything in moderation. Cats and dogs are actually lactose intolerant so you need to be careful to see if she gets an upset stomach. Also sugar isn't good for their teeth. So if she tolerates ice cream, etc then she can have some but small amounts. Have a good day! https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/cat/milk/

This is a very good question! Treats can often be a source of extra calories and potentially unwanted ingredients. When I have a patient who needs to be on a special diet I recommend using the canned food which the pet likes, and cutting it into small pieces/cubes. You can bake these cubes in the oven on a baking sheet until they are soft and chewy.
