Can I give guava to cats?

Guava is one of the fruits that is generally safe to give to cats, but there are a few things to keep in mind.

Limit amounts: If you feed guava to your cat, keep it in very small amounts. Guavas contain natural sugar, and excessive sugar intake can increase the risk of obesity and diabetes.

Wash and feed guava thoroughly: Before feeding guava to your cat, wash it thoroughly to remove any pesticides or chemicals.

Remove seeds: Guava contains small hard seeds. Remove these seeds and only offer the pulp to your cat.

Beware of sensitivities: Some cats are sensitive to guava, so monitor your cat before feeding it for the first time to make sure there are no allergic reactions. Do not feed guava if you experience allergic symptoms.

Although guava can be given to cats as an occasional treat, it is not suitable as part of their main diet. Meat is a cat’s primary source of nutrition, and providing a meat-based cat food is a healthy and safe choice. If in doubt, we recommend consulting your veterinarian.
