Can cats eat raspberries?

Why

While the fruit itself is non-toxic, the high sugar levels can upset a cat's stomach and contribute to weight gain or diabetes over time. Additionally, the small seeds can pose a minor choking hazard or cause digestive irritation if fed in large quantities.

If you do feed it

• Limit to one or two fresh, washed berries as an occasional treat only
• Always remove stems and leaves before serving
• Introduce slowly to check for any digestive upset
• Do not feed raspberry jam, syrup, or baked goods containing the fruit

Watch out for

• sweetened versions like jams or syrups
• large quantities of seeds
• stems and leaves
• frozen raspberries that might be too hard
