Cat Grass vs. Regular Grass: Why It Matters for Your Pet’s Health

You love your cat like family—so when they nibble on something green, you want it to be safe, healthy, and beneficial. But here’s the thing: not all grass is created equal.

If you’ve ever caught your cat chewing on outdoor lawn grass or your houseplants, you’ve probably wondered if it’s okay. The truth is, there’s a big difference between regular grass and cat grass—and that difference can affect your cat’s health.

Let’s break down why choosing the right grass matters, and why ZestiGreens Cat Grass is the better choice for happy, healthy indoor cats.

What Is Cat Grass?

Cat grass is a mix of tender, pet-safe cereal grasses like wheatgrass, oat, barley, and rye—grown indoors and free from chemicals. It’s designed specifically for cats to safely munch on, and it’s easy to grow at home with ZestiGreens’ all-in-one kits.

Unlike random outdoor grass, cat grass has one job: support your cat’s well-being from the inside out.

The Risks of Regular Lawn Grass

Most lawn or outdoor grasses aren’t grown with pets in mind. They can carry:

• Pesticides or herbicides

• Harsh chemical fertilizers

• Fungus, mold, or parasites

• Tough blades that irritate the stomach

Even if your lawn is “natural,” nearby parks or sidewalks may not be. Regular grass might look similar, but for your cat, it’s a potential hazard.

5 Reasons Cat Grass Is the Safer, Healthier Choice

1. Soothes Digestion Naturally
Cats instinctively chew grass to relieve digestive upset. Cat grass is gentler on the stomach and less likely to cause vomiting or blockages.

2. Helps with Hairballs
Indoor cats tend to groom more, which leads to more swallowed hair. Cat grass helps move hair through their system, reducing uncomfortable hairballs.

3. Pure and Chemical-Free
When you grow cat grass at home, you’re in control. ZestiGreens cat grass kits are free from pesticides, additives, and anything that could harm your pet.

4. Enrichment for Indoor Cats
A patch of fresh grass keeps indoor cats stimulated, engaged, and less likely to chew on cords or houseplants.

5. Easy to Grow, Even Without a Garden
No outdoor space? No problem. ZestiGreens makes it simple to grow cat grass on your windowsill or kitchen counter—even during colder months.

Indoor Garden. Outdoor Benefits.

With a ZestiGreens Cat Grass Kit, you’ll have fresh greens sprouting in just a few days. No soil mess, no stress. Just water, light, and a happy cat.

It’s a small change that brings real benefits—naturally.
