6 Reasons Why Cat Owners Should Consider Hydroponic Grass

Though cats are carnivores they are adapted to consume small amounts of grass as part of their regular diet.
 
Grass is a source of fibre that assists with digestive tract health by helping to prevent constipation and assisting cats to cough up hairballs. Grass is also an excellent source of niacin, folic acid and vitamin B.
 
In addition to these nutritional benefits, when grass is given to cats to chew on they tend to display less problem behavior that's usually linked to boredom. The more ways a cat is able to express natural behaviour the better for their state of mind – and yours.
 
Some owners become concerned after seeing their cat throw up after eating grass. However you may be surprised to know that this is one of the reasons cats eat grass in the first place. Cats lack the digestive enzymes to eats lots of grass, so after they have a serious munching session they tend to become a bit sick. But along with the grass comes up irritants like feathers, fur, parasites and bones, meaning your cat gets a clean up on the inside that results in long-term health benefits. 

So why hydroponic grass? Hydroponic grass has a number of benefits - let's take a look at them now:
 
  • If your outside area doesn't have grass or you have an indoor cat, then hydroponic grass is a great way to provide your cat access to fresh greenery.
  • No dirt is required - so there's no risk of spillages or dirt being spread all over your home.
  • There are no additives, meaning it's completely organic.
  • It grows within a couple of days, ready for munching.
  • It saves your other houseplants from being completely ruined.
  • Cats love it!
