Can Cats Eat Sugar Snap Peas? Tiny Plain Pieces Only
Tiny plain piece only
A tiny plain sugar snap pea piece is usually okay, but it should not become a regular snack.
Sugar Snap PeasAsk your vet
Call your veterinarian if the peas were cooked with onion or garlic, or if choking, vomiting, or repeated diarrhea occurs.
Remove the strings
Pod strings can be hard for cats to chew cleanly.
Keep it plain
The safe version is not stir-fried, salted, buttered, or sauced.
Serve
- Wash well, remove tough strings, and cut one soft, tiny piece.
- Serve it plain with no salt, butter, oil, sauce, onion, garlic, or seasoning.
Avoid
- Whole pods, tough strings, stir-fry sauce, soy sauce, butter, oil, salt, garlic, onion, and large portions.
- Sugar snap peas for cats on urinary, kidney, digestive, or prescription diets unless your veterinarian approves.
Watch
- Vomiting, diarrhea, gas, gagging, choking, appetite changes, or behavior that feels wrong.
Portion
One tiny piece is enough.
