Benefits
Beans provide protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Risks
Cats are obligate carnivores and struggle to digest plant material and legumes.
Overindulging in beans can cause digestive problems or pancreatitis.
Suggestions
Offer beans in small amounts and not too frequently.
Beans should only be a supplemental part of a cat’s diet, with the main diet being meat-based.
Note: even if labeled as safe, any food can potentially cause allergies. When introducing a new food, please feed a small amount and observe your cat for any allergic reactions.
