Is Wheatgrass Good for Cats? Here's What You Should Know
Is Wheatgrass Good for Cats? Here's What You Should Know
Yes. For cats prone to stress, wheatgrass makes a daily ritual: soft, fine grass to return to whenever they need it, as long as it is fresh, organic and grown for cats. Wheatgrass (Triticum Aestivum) naturally contains chlorophyll, vitamins C and E, and trace minerals, and like all three of our grasses it helps with hairballs.
Why Wheatgrass Suits Your Cat
A Daily Ritual for Cats Prone to Stress
Soft and fine, wheat becomes part of your cat's day, something to return to whenever they need it. A fresh box in the same spot each day gives a cat prone to stress a small, familiar ritual of their own.
Help With Hairballs
Fresh cat grass helps with hairballs, and wheat does this just as oat and barley do. For long-haired cats and cats who groom often, keeping a fresh box within reach is an easy daily habit.
What Wheatgrass Naturally Contains
Fresh wheatgrass naturally contains chlorophyll, vitamins C and E, and trace minerals. Cat grass is something fresh to nibble alongside a complete cat food.
Everyday Enrichment
Nibbling fresh grass gives an indoor cat something to explore and enjoy each day. Wheat's soft, fine grass makes that an easy habit to keep.
Who Is Wheatgrass Best For?
Wheatgrass suits many cats, and it is especially well-suited for:
- Cats prone to stress who enjoy a daily ritual
- Cats who like a routine and a familiar box in a familiar spot
- Long-haired cats and cats who groom often, since wheat, like all three grasses, helps with hairballs
- Indoor cats who would enjoy something green of their own
Wheatgrass is soft and fine. If your cat is particular about what they eat, oat grass is crisp, and adult and senior cats may enjoy barley's broad leaves.

Wheatgrass vs. Oat Grass vs. Barley Grass
All three help with hairballs, so the choice comes down to your cat:
| Wheatgrass | Oat Grass | Barley Grass | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best answer | Choose wheat for cats prone to stress: soft, fine grass to return to every day. | Choose oat for particular eaters: crisp grass. | Choose barley for adult and senior cats: broad leaves with more in every bite. |
