Probably no cat would refuse shrimps, which have a rich smell and an equally bright taste.

However, is it worth offering your pet such a treat?

Luckily for cats, the answer to this question is yes.

Shrimp is a healthy natural product that contains a lot of protein and other nutrients.

However, it is important to remember that a cat, just like a person, may have an individual intolerance to this seafood.

Therefore, if you are just starting to introduce your cat to this product, it makes sense to start with a small piece.

Only after you have made sure that everything is okay with your pet, you can safely pamper him with such a seafood delicacy.

Despite all the benefits of shrimp, you should not feed your tail only this product, since their excess in the diet is fraught with the development of urolithiasis and problems with the digestive system.

An adult cat will need 1-2 small shrimp every 2-3 weeks.
