Can Cats Eat Blueberries?
Short answer: Blueberries are on the ASPCA’s list of foods pets can safely share. A few make an occasional treat.
Why it’s okay
The ASPCA lists blueberries among fruits safe to share with pets. Their guidance covers pets in general, so introduce new foods slowly.
How much and how to serve it
Offer a few at most. Treats of any kind should make up no more than about 5% of a cat’s daily food, according to the ASPCA. Most of the nutrition should come from a complete cat food.
Risks to watch for
- Whole berries can be a choking hazard for some pets, so consider cutting them.
- Too much can cause digestive upset.
What to do if your cat ate blueberries
A little extra usually causes nothing worse than an upset stomach. If your cat ate a large amount, has vomiting or diarrhea, or seems unwell, call your vet.
