Can cats eat Green Beans?

Quick Answer:

Plain, cooked green beans are safe and can provide healthy fiber for cats.

Why it matters:

Though cats are carnivores, a small amount of plain, steamed green beans can be a safe treat and may help with digestion or weight management by providing fiber. Never feed canned beans with added salt or seasonings.

What to check on the label:

  • Added salt or butter
  • Onion or garlic (in casseroles)

Symptoms to watch for:

  • Mild stomach upset if fed too much

When to contact a veterinarian:

Call a vet if your cat consumes green beans mixed with toxic ingredients like onions.
