Healthy Homemade Cat Treat Recipes

Treating your cat with a homemade treat or cookie you've made yourself can be a great way to connect with your cat and display your care and love. Here are a few recipes that you can make at home using our Hill’s Science Diet or Hill’s Prescription Diet cat foods.

NOTE:  When using the recipe for cat treats from canned food, make sure to use the  minced or loaf forms.

Remember not to freeze homemade cat treats. All homemade cat treats that have been baked should be stored in the refrigerator no longer than 5-7 days to maintain their freshness and prevent spoilage.

Yield: approx. two dozen cat treats
