My dog prefers cat treats. Is it safe or healthy for her to eat them?

Yuka doesn't seem interested in dog treats at all but she likes the cat treats. Are those good for her or should we stop feeding those to her

You can feed her cat treats as long as you only give her small quantities as cat treats are usually much higher in calories which will likely end up gaining a lot of extra weight when she gets a little older.
