Can I use sharbati Wheat to Grow Grass as a replacement of cat grass? I got it from Dmart as cat grass is not available anywhere in nearby pet shop.

Dr. Sharmila Rai

Cat grass is generally a mix of plants like wheat barley or oats. So sharbati wheat should be okay but grow grass better be avoided.

I did not get you !! Please clarify if this is fine if i grow grass from this Sharbati Wheat seed or not!!

Dr. Anukarna Singh

Yes please, cats can eat wheatgrass. It might seem like a strange behavior especially because cats are obligate carnivores, but they can benefit from eating wheatgrass. Any sub variety is ok so you can use sharbati. Also as a note please make sure the pet is not consuming more that 5% of the daily food intake. It helps to improve digestion and helps in fur balling, but should be consumed in moderation.
