📝 Notes
Use only pure, unsweetened cranberry with no added sugar, xylitol or juice concentrate, and keep the amount tiny. These bites are a treat, not a medical treatment — any cat with genuine urinary problems needs a vet, not a home remedy. Refrigerate and use within three days.
⚕️ Before you cook for your cat
- Homemade food must be balanced. Cats need taurine, and deficiency causes heart and eye disease.
- Treat recipes are supplements to a complete diet, not a replacement for it.
- Check any new ingredient against the toxic-foods list, and ask your vet before switching diets.
