Small, soft bites made from plain tuna, rice, and egg.
Homemade guidance, not veterinary advice
Use tuna packed in water, not oil or brine, and keep portions modest — tuna is best as an occasional treat rather than a daily staple due to its mercury content. This recipe avoids onion, garlic, and other common pet-toxic ingredients, but it's homemade guidance, not veterinary advice — check with your vet about how often to offer tuna-based treats.

Common questions
Can cats eat tuna regularly?
Tuna is a popular treat for cats, but vets generally recommend keeping it occasional rather than a daily staple, since it can be high in mercury over time.
Is this a full meal or a treat?
These bites work well as a treat or a topper mixed into your cat's regular food, rather than a standalone meal.
What kind of tuna should I use?
Use tuna canned in water rather than oil or brine, with no added salt or seasoning.
