Benefits

  • Cucumbers are made up of 95% water, which makes them an excellent source of hydration for cats.

Risks

  • If given in large amounts, cucumber can upset your cat’s tummy and cause diarrhea due to the high water content.
  • It is also recommended to peel the cucumber to avoid any potential pesticide exposure.

Suggestions

  • Cats should only be offered small amounts of cucumber as an occasional treat.
  • Start with just a couple of small pieces that are peeled and diced.
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.
