Healthy Valentine's Day Treats for Your Cat

What better way to spend Valentine's Day than with the real love of your life - your cat!  Here are a few healthy Valentine's Day treats that will show your pet how much you care.

Healthy Valentine's Day Treats:
  • Baked Tuna Hearts - Canned tuna can be baked into small hearts.  Put them in the oven until warm for a special Valentine's Day treat.  You can even add a little catnip!  Just remember, these treats should be ingested in limited quantities.  Large amounts of at and sugar can give your pet an upset stomach.
  • Mashed Frozen Banana - This is a great, healthy ice cream alternative for your cat.  Slice the banana first, then freeze it.  You can use a food processor or a spoon to mash it.
  • Heart-Shaped Melon Slices - Fresh cantaloupe or water melon (without the seeds) is a great healthy treat for snacks.  The colors are great for Valentine's Day, too!
  • Carob-Dipped Strawberries - We know that chocolate is a no-no when it comes to your pets.  Fortunately, carob is a safe chocolate alternative.  Melt down some carob chips and dip strawberries into them for a "chocolate"-covered strawberry alternative.
  • Grilled Salmon - Grilled pink (for Valentine's Day) salmon is healthy and fishy.  It's a treat your cat will love!
