🐱 Can cats eat this? →

Why

Bananas are high in potassium, fibre and vitamins and low in sodium. Because they're also high in natural sugar, the AKC recommends them as an occasional treat rather than a daily food.

If you do share it

A few small slices as a treat. Follow the '10% rule' — treats shouldn't exceed 10% of daily calories.
