About Date
Dates are used in pet foods primarily as a source of natural sweetness, soluble fiber and carbohydrates, contributing small amounts of minerals (like potassium) and antioxidants but not meaningful protein or fat. Because they are calorie-dense and high in sugars, dates should be used sparingly—small amounts may be tolerated by dogs but are not nutritionally necessary for cats, and pits or sulfite-treated/dried fruit can pose choking, obstruction or sensitivity risks and may exacerbate obesity or diabetes.
