While most ingredients in chicken tenders might not be toxic, the breading and seasoning can include harmful substances like garlic, onion, or excessive salt. These ingredients can cause stomach upset or more severe issues if ingested in large quantities. Please keep an eye on your cat for any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy. If such symptoms occur, or if you're worried about the ingredients, it is always best to reach out to a veterinarian.
