Feeding Shrimp

[Mrs.CC]

When feeding shrimp (just picked up a bag of frozen), is there a certain amount/times per month I should limit it to? I was wondering about the iodine content.

I would feed them in moderation as treats.

Thank you, Jacq, I appreciate the feedback

There's an enzyme in fish that destroys thiamine, an essential B vitamin, so teensy amounts as a treat only.

Thank you, Deborah! I'll just sprinkle some on top of his chicken every now and then.

We give 2-3 shrimp per cat 1-2 times per week as a treat.

The best thing is, you can give them frozen. Cats love shrimpsicles.
