Why does my cat throw up right after eating Temptations or Greenies?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 12 years and 9 months old | 12 lbs

Hair all treats cause my cat to throw up, almost immediately. I’ve tried Temptations & Greenies. Is there an ingredient that causes this?

Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Temptations and Greenies are not very digestible which is why they can cause stomach upset. Commericial treats such as these can be highly processed, contain a variety of aritcial ingredients and flavors and contain high fat and low fiber content with fillers in them which can cause GI upset. A good alternative would be Smittens cat treats by Honest Kitchen which are all natural. I hope this helps!
