Why is my cat pooping liquid after eating Greenies dental treats?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered | 3 years and 8 months old | 12 lbs

Although my cat is acting normal, his feces are coming out as liquids. The only change in his diet are his new Greenies Dental Treats, but otherwise it’s all the same. Why is he pooping liquid? Is this harming him? What could be the issue?

This new treat could be causing Beanz to have diarrhea. I'd stop giving him the treats, and I can give you a home remedy for his diarrhea. Withhold food for 12 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in his normal diet. If the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, he vomits the bland diet, he refuses to eat the bland diet, stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, he will need to see a vet right away. I hope this helps!
